Well I started this project over a year ago. Its on the road now and is my DD. I picked up 2x 2L toyota diesel engines+ the wiring harness.
So everything is turn key but now its time for a turbo because 2L's are gut less.
Turbo is from a 1.6 TD jetta. I think it should be good
Ilean 83 bj60 SOA stretched/turbo 23 psi boost/35's locked. Full disk w/ 80 series FF. Dirty 30's, wrapped with 2" pipe/warn 10,000. 2"x5" rear frame replacement.
Has anyone used this turbo for the 2L before? I was told the waste gate has been shimmed to 17 psi but who knows? I will put a pyromter and boost gauge.

And yes I do hate breaking taps off.

Nice fab work and very nice welds. I'll be watching.
I got a 2.2l toyota diesel,also been thinking about a turbo for it.Keep the pics coming
Wahoo! New tires and rims. Both off of craigslist.
50 bucks for 60% 315mm x 75mm? R16" dick cepek crushers
75 bucks for the 16" rims.
Mounted them myself. They are noisy but smooth up to 100 kms/ph

Did some dremeling on my manifold yesterday. Ported all exhaust hole to match the manifold gasket.
Today I will remove the broken tap and finish welding the turbo flange on.

I tried to match up the manifold exhaust holes to the pipe inside. So not to create any air turbulence.

Soo.... I ditched the old turbo backing plate and started fresh. I also changed my idea of drill/tapping it and went out and bought some studs.
Although I might have got a little ahead of myself with design I still think i made a bit o progress.
I used a ball peen hammer to make a template out of an old beer box. A little trick to make gaskets too!
Torched out the center hole and die grinded to perfection

I cleaned up the threads on the turbo because of heat distortion.

Now I have to match up these two pictures. I could have thought a little more on turbo positioning. Now my studs are kind of in the way. Either clock the compressor side of the turbo or I am going to have to get fancy on my fabricating skills.

This is low clearance turbo setup so the hood can close. But not an easy connection

This is The hood scoop turbo setup. easier to connect the dots and probably the direction I am going to go. Time to start looking for a hood scoop. I cant way to get this manifold done. My truck is gutless now that I put those 33's on.
The mock up is just on an old 2L I had. I still use my truck as a DD so its better that I don't remove the exhaust manifold until the turbo install.
Last but not least is just a picture of my back yard with my cruiser hiding out in the bushes and the tiny home I have been slowly building for the past 2 years.

Yes, some sad looking tar paper
I recently just had a kid so projects are on slow mode.

Looking really good and cool house too! Keep the updates coming.
Soooo. I did have some warping on me. Off to the machine shop tomorrow.

Im going to get the machinist to put a 2 degree slope on the engine side of the manifold due to some interference. I am pretty happy with the results.

And yes than one stud is close but I will dremel it to fit a nut

Welcome to the diesel section Julian! Good to see a non landcruiser build, there are plenty of people in here with a wealth of knowledge to help you out along the way.

Thanks serenity! But I have been bj60 owner and blogger for about 8 years now.
