6bt

Dudes, I am building a 4 door FJ40 with a 6bt and am looking for ideas on how to get some clearance between turbo and firewall. I am thinking two flanges with some sort of spacer. Anyone have a better ideas? Thanks for the help.

Hey ladies and gents.. First time reader and first time posted. Been reading bits and pieces on the forum for about 4 hours now haha! But thought I'd start a new thread and get some fresh information. I'm in Australia. And I'm looking for any information, steps taken and photos of anyone...

Hey Mud! Although I'm new to the forum, I'm a longtime lurker and Toyota truck enthusiast! I've been cruising the Classifieds, Craigslist, Autotrader, etc. for a rust-free FJ60 to do a 6BT/NV4500 swap into. I just have a couple of questions. 1. Is a SOA required to fit the 6BT? - All of the...

hi everyone for those of you that have one how has your standard driveline held up as in breakages? Also are you running constant 4x4 or 2wd TIA

Well...it looks like I might be getting back in the 80 series diesel group. After completing the 4bd1t swap in my 94 I decided to venture to the darkside with a 100 series. Once again I find myself wanting to lose sparkplugs and go diesel and just picked up a triple locked truck with a blown...

I am not a huge writer, so I'll be short, I have had my components for a while, just waiting for the time to do it, and then my son tells me Dad, I need a senior project, of something I am interested in ( he makes knives and likes them, but the school would not allow this) I told him Ok we can...

I was at Classic Cruisers in Salida yesterday. Micah was putting the finishing touches on an FJ60 6BT Cummins conversion. I got to ride along during a short road test. All I can say is WOW. Acceleration G-forces pinning me into the seat is something new in a Cruiser. Micah just got back...

I have a 93 FZJ80 and I want to drop a 6bt in it. I live in WA and I do not have any room to do it myself. Before calling around and embarrassing myself what can I expect to pay for something like this? I can maybe find a garage at a friends if the price of labor is too high, but I would rather...

So I'm sitting here looking at the leaking transmission on my excursion that I use to tow my 80 to the trails. It got me thinking about building a 6bt 80 as a tow rig. I was curious if the frame and drivetrain will hold up to towing 10k pounds. I would swap the engine and trans and everything...

So I haven't had an oil pressure gauge in my cruiser for ever, a couple years ago I tried the stock sender and one for the 6BT, if I recall the cummins sender put the needle full stroke, I turned it off quick, the 80 series wouldn't hardly budge it (checked with the 6BT after to make sure I...

So I am starting out with an 1995 FZJ80, that supposedly lost an timing chain and ruined the motor, that I got for $1000 and a 1994 Dodge 2500 6BT, NV4500, 4x4, that has a bad rear main seal leak and a bad throw out bearing, that I got for $2,000. The plan is to make an tough, reliable, family...

1993 5.9 Cummins 6bt I was going to use in my swap. I DD the truck before pulling the motor, no smoke, rattles, knocks, ect. Smooth runner that ran as it should have. 149,5xx miles on the motor. Full motor, ready to run - turbo, intercooler, full wiring harness, alt, p/s, a/c, etc. NO...

Howdy forumers, I'm new here... I've spent some time on looking around this forum and have prepared a table of common stock and popular swap diesel engine specs for 60 series LandCruiesers. I know that all this information is available here, but I haven't seen a comprehensive table... so I made...

Thought I would start a thread for my build. I am doing a Cummins 6BT swap into my 1995 FZJ80 using the duiser conversion kit. Also doing a 3" suspension lift(using a combination of OME, slee components) with heavier springs to deal with the extra weight, an ARB bumper up front, and BFG...
