    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...

    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?

    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

    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...

    Hi guys I cant really find any specific threads on how to fix this problem... Just put in a second hand H55 into my '79 BJ40. Had the box looked over by a local gearbox guy who put new bearings into it - and gave me the thumbs up on the unit. All gears work pretty good and is quiet...

    converting FJ60 gearbox to BJ40

    Hoping someone can help me here. Is it possible to take a 5speed (H55F) from an FJ/HJ60 - and swap in the input shaft and 1st,2nd,3rd gears plus the layshaft from a 4 speed from a BJ40? 5 speeds for BJ's are pretty rare and expensive - however I can get FJ/HJ 5speed for $500 or less. So I...

    2H conversion for FJ55

    Hi guys I have acquired a 2H diesel from an '82 HJ60 and was planning on putting it into a 1977 FJ55 (keeping the 4spd). Looks like the bell housing from the donar HJ60 is not appropriate as the FJ55 had gearbox mounts on each side. HJ60 has crossmember under gearbox The original 2F bell...
