Looking good. That basket turned out real nice, I bet you are enjoying the disc brakes. I need to do rear disc on mine next. I am also looking for another 40, hoping to pick one up with no rust.

Yes actually best car investment so far. It feels safety 100%.

Where are you looking to get your 40?

Looking anywhere in Costa Rica, I am currently living in Atenas so would prefer central valley but may travel for the right one. If you know of one let me know.

Have you put a locker in yet? I recently put Spartan lockers in mine front and rear and it made a huge difference.

Did you ever get your anti-wrap bar on the back axle?

No I don't have lockers so far, do you have a website to look more info about those locker? and If you speak Spanish I can add you to a local Land Cruiser chat.

Now 3B engine is going Turbo.

I got a CT16 from Toyota Hilux.

More pics coming soon, I used this thread as reference.

Drew's MegaCheap homebrew 3b turbo thread

awesome DIY for those who want to Boost your engines.

 

[Fabricio]

3B turbo list:
1: Stock B engine manifold
2: CT16 TOYOTA TURBO
3: AN4 turbo feed line and fitings

For my turbo application, I didn´t want to create a manifold, so I decided to use a B engine manifold that I had from my RIP B engine.
That being said, stock manifold will work for Turboed a B, 2b or 3b engine, just flip it and turbo will sit on top.

1st step, remove manifold from engine and after the muffler

then I created a flanger to sit turbo on stock manifold since turbo is 3 bolts and stock manifold is 2 bolts

As I mentioned I used drew´s thread so I wanted to create a similar piece like he did.

In his thread this is the explanation:
Drew's MegaCheap homebrew 3b turbo thread
Pic #2: Nice big flow-y double banjo bolt for the turbo drain - I'm going to share the drain with the vacuum pump. Also another "custom" pipe nipple hose barb. You cant see it, but that banjo fitting is 1/4" NPT but tapered to a small (~3/16") hole - I drilled it out to 1/2".

 

[Fabricio]

So I looked for a mitsubishi L200 turbo feed line to be bolted on my new double banjo bolt for the turbo drain since I didnt want to do a Hole and add a fitting into the oil Pan so this was mas resolution

then oil feed is taken from Oil cooler same as Drew

 

[Tgure]

Nice, I will be following in your footsteps shortly throwing a turbo on my 40 and likely will do the manifold flip as well.

 

[Fabricio]

any help you need feel free to ask.

More information soon hahaha

Very nice looking. How is it drive without power steering?

for me it is normal because I have it manual since I got it, but actually a lil bit soft now
