    Is my 3B intercooler project a failure?

    Thanks gerg... I will take a look at how I can route the outlet out the other side... Two more questions: a) Would you recommend that I stick with Air to Air or take the opportunity to just switch to a Water to Air? b) I assume I should aim to position the cooler within the boundaries of the...

    Is my 3B intercooler project a failure?

    I have tried to intercool my BJ40 / 3B with an AXT turbo with an air to air intercooler. I think I have failed as I seem to have a significant pressure drop across the cooler. Before intercooling I had set the Boost limit to be 15 PSI. With intercooler plumbed in - I am barely pushing 10PSI...

    RHD Air Conditioning

    I am still curious about this thread - has anyone made any progress on an aftermarket aircon that works for a RHD 40?. I believe "Chamba" might have been referring to an OEX EVX1242 generic underdash evaporator? See page 242 of...

    Boost Profile for 3B AXT Turbo

    I have standard AXT turbo installed on my BJ40/3B. Was wondering if my setup is not generating as much boost as it should (or could) in low rpm. Under load I get about 6 psi of Boost at 2000rpm and max out at 9 psi at 2800 rpm. Is this typical for AXT? I am finding that some hills catch me...

    BJ40 vs BJ42 clutch problem?

    I know the flywheels are different and therefore the clutches are different between the B and 3B. I think there is 5mm difference in diameter of the clutch...with 3B being bigger Considering I do I have a BJ42 clutch, flywheel, bell housing - and I am hearing that the clutch forks are the...

    BJ40 vs BJ42 clutch problem?

    Not sure if I have a problem - but here is the situation. I have a 1979 BJ40 which started out with the original B motor and 4 speed. I upgraded the engine to a 3B (out of an 83 BJ42) , used the 3B bell housing, 3B flywheel and clutch from the BJ42 and bolted up a 5 speed from a BJ74...

    3B turbo choices

    can anyone actually confirm what garrett's AXT and Turboglide actually use? I see hypothesis indicating Turboglide is a T25 rated to 3.9L and AXT is a T3... anyone actually know what they are? My concern is the AXT (or both) might be too big and not have enough low end performance..

    3B turbo choices

    hi guys, I need a nudge in the right direction here. I am trying to decide between the AXT kit and the Turbo glide kit. Considering that I have spent a squillion dollars fully rebuiling my 3B engine (and my BJ42) - the price difference of $400 is not that important I have read a number...

    60 series Diffs

    if it is the axle your talking about then yes - 60's have a longer "long" side... Some people just re-weld the spring purch on the long side into the right place on a 40 - and then one wheel sticks out further than the other.... not my cup of tea... diff centers are effectively the same
