Would any of you guys give the turbo a try?
The seller keeps saying that it would run good.?
The no wastegate also got me worried..
Thanks for the info Dougal
Hi all, I purchased from a fellow mud member a garrett turbo.
The seller said it was a ar.48 on both sides.
But when i opened the turbo today i saw the following things.
Is it really a really a turbo inlet with ar.89?
Cause its for my 3b and if it is then i'm really screwed.
hey joe, i think i've seen you around belgium4x4....
I'm from zemst near mechelen...
And i agree with you that you can buy a 3b for cheap here around 850-1000 for an engine and if your lucky, like you, the whole car...
But to be honest, almost everybody lies about the engine they put for...
It sure cost a lot more to rebuild an engine, i rebuild an 3B with new pistons, new skirts, new nozzels, new injectors and new waterpump, reflattened and chemicly cleaned the head and it did cost me a lot more than 2500$.
Its not even in my car yet but i can sell the engine right now and i don't...
lostmarbles, don't get me wrong when i say that the B is almost worth nothing.
I know that the B engine is a very reliable engine and when good maintained it will go for 1.000.000km without a doubt...so in that point of view its an engine thats worth a lot.
But when it comes to selling a B...
Being from europe I can say that the B engine is almost worth nothing here.
If I can sell a B for 500 euro, I may be a very happy man IF I can sell it cause nobody wants a slow running engine here.
Like 'roscoFJ73' says everybody wants at least a 3B (or more) to turbo it....unless you go for...
It depends what manifold i'm gonna use.
I can flip the 3b manifold or just buy a 13bt manifold. what are the things to adjust on the turbo or manifold as i have no idea.
for some: here we go again, for me: here it starts...
I'm able to buy a ct26 from a mr2(twin port entry), i know its not the best but these are pretty easy to find in europe.
So i heard that these ct26 is not a perfect match for the 13bt housing but that it will fit..
Altough i hear people...
My engine is in good condition nothing to complain about that.
but you always want that little bit more you know.
Its gonna be a DD with a lot of highway so almost no trails.
I'm from europe and planning to go on a trip to the alpes with it so the thing i read is that with the altitude i will...
Will this turbo do?
didn't want to start a new thread about this because a lot of people must be tired of it, but being u newbie on turbo's can anybody tell me if this turbo is good for my 3B?
THE SPECIFICATION FOR THE AIR COMPRESSOR IS .42
THE SPECIFICATION FOR THE EXHAUST TURBINE IS .63...
I had the same thing, a B after '80 for parts and a 3B to be rebuild.
I used the camshaft, the rocker arms and the oilpan from the B and put them in the 3B.
The oilpan from a B enigine before '80 is useless on a 3B
I know for sure that you can't use the crankshaft of the B in the 3B.
The...
Ok if you guys put turbo's on +500,000km motors then i think i'm still ok.
Like dbryan said, i have one comming out the rebuild shop so i just gonna give it a shot on the "old"one and if it brings me to +500 then i'll be a happy man.
Might keep the rebuild one for a future project...who knows...
About a year ago i got 2 bj40's that i was gonna do a frame of, i bought a 3b to put in the 40.
But due reasons i have to stop the frame of but have the 3b in the rebuild shop.
Now by accident i bumped into a '83 bj 42 witch is in good condition an rides well (the factory P/S is removed but...
Will the springs of a 40 fit on a 42?
i want to transfer my spring kit from my 40 to my 42 but don't know if its possible.
And i don't want to try and then come to the conclusion that it doesn't fit if i can get an answer from you guys.
Will a spring kit from a BJ40 also fit on a BJ42?
I would like to trasfer the kit from my 40 to my 42 but don't know if there is any difference.. And I don't want to try and then come to the conclusion that it doesn't fit if i can get an answer from you guys.
i want to put ps on my bj42
being in europe saginaw is not an option.
so its going to be original ps (i know someone who sells one) or the ps from a 60.
What would be the best? or what what would you guys do?
And please don't say saginaw, i have to chose between the ome ps or 60.
If someone...
