Yes it's been fit in a bj70 before which has the same engine bay as you but not sure about the exhaust manifold. The down pipe fits fairly tight under the power steering resivour but good thing is the resivour can relocated to the right fender.

So apparently the 3B2 is not similar to the 3B as far as exhaust manifold and routing. Although I love building turbos I have neither an engine or even an exhaust manifold to work with. I did find this though which might be interesting to those with this engine. As far as I've read the 3B2 and the 14b can share the same exhaust manifold. Someone might want to confirm this as I'm working from internet conjecture and a collection of bad pics.

 
Apparently there's two exhaust manifolds available pending on cylinder head on engine, mine is the 14B swap which makes it harder to find:( on this side of pond.
 
It's the bolt pattern which makes it a little more complicated to make my own exhaust manifold. The other version I can fit a 13BT or a inverted 3B!
 
Just installed this in a fellas bj42. I reworked the air cleaner.

Hey thanks. Wasn't that hard overall except welding on the filter housing cus it's quite thin. I cut off all the origional mounts for the filter housing and layed the housing on the fender and mocked up the silicone elbow to get an idea of how much to cut out off of the arm for the intake. approx 3" came off. i kept the round outlet and rewelded it to the remaining filter arm. Bit of squishing in the vice to get them close in shape. Fair bit of filling for gaps in the metal. Welding took like 10 min. Then I attached filter box with outlet connected to turbo inlet with silicone elbow and sat it on the fender and found an area I liked and cut the original bottom bracket I removed to about about 6.25" long and mounted it underneath on the fender in its origional mounts and marked where it contacted the bottom of the filter housing. Removed it and a Couple weak tacks on the braket where my marks were then I remounted it to get the angle accurate. Weak takes allow for easy bending but still hold their position. Then welded it up. Put a short piece of angle on the fender and welded it up allowing for another bolt point.

That’s really slick! Does the air cleaner still bolt to all the original points in the fender or did you have to move those too?
 
The bottom bracket uses the origional bolt holes. You could do the same with the angle iron on top of the fender for the origional mount but yould have to use like inch and a half wide angle iron and notch the middle of it to make it work. There are also two captured nuts that kind of get in the way too for that mount. The nuts are on the underside of the fender and the bolt has to enter from that same side, go through a captured nut into another nut as there is no room to bolt from the top down. I didn't want to cut up his fender and the captured nut thing sounded hokey and there was this other bolt hole was right there so it just worked so much easier. All in all it's very secure and provides lots of room, easy to access and is easy to remove. I oriented the air cleaner inlet in case there ever was a snorkle in the future. The silicone elbow also flexes nicely with engine movement.
 
Thanks for ongoing writeup and pics Greg, this is the last bit of my install I need to setup - making the air cleaner function AND look decent. Motivation!:clap:

I have a 3B2 here which will be getting a Turbo setup in the next month or two as well as a 13BT / 3B / B Manifold so when I pull it off I will confirm for you which will result in either a quick install using a 13BT Manifold or a Custom manifold build and a slower result. If I do go with the Custom setup I will post a DXF of the exhaust flange so anyone else who needs it can get one cut.

Until I read your post I never even considered they would be any different damn it lol

So thought I'd put up a step by step install.
How you compensate the fuel injection? More air needs more fuel if more power is wanted.
 
It's a diesel. More air just makes it more efficient with a sleight increase in power. If you want more power then turn up the fuel screw. One turn @10 psi is seeing 1050 egts floored on a grade for me.
