    Rear door hinge!

    I recently did my door hinge. Used some generic GM pins and bushings that you can buy at any parts store for about $30. The hardest part was getting the old pins out. I mounted them in my big vise and I had to use a fair bit of heat and my variable angle swing press, it probably took about 20...

    TurboMini's 1986 CDM BJ70 Turbo Project

    I assume you mean the wastegate when you say bypass valve. My signal to open the wastegate is attached to the charge tube that crosses over the engine before the throttle plate. My signal to open the blow off valve is after the throttle plate.

    TurboMini's 1986 CDM BJ70 Turbo Project

    Thanks Guys. I'm still doing some work on the MX5's. But I do plan on doing some work on the LandCruiser soon. Still trying to find the next turbo I'd like to use, but I'll probably start with some basic maintenance and replace the heater core which has a small leak.

    TurboMini's 1986 CDM BJ70 Turbo Project

    I'm on Vancouver Island. I noticed a huge difference in climbing hills. Now I look forward to them because of the beautiful sounds my engine now makes. Instead of downshifting I usually accelerate slightly when the turbo spools up with the extra load on the engine. Or I down shift one gear...

    TurboMini's 1986 CDM BJ70 Turbo Project

    I have installed a 30A Solar Converter to balance my batteries and allow me to have a 12V source and not destroy my batteries or charging system. The previous owner had problems because a stereo shop wired a 12V stereo directly to one battery with no converter or balancer. I have fixed the...
