I'm thinking of putting a turbo on the 3B going into the FJ55. What turbo's have people used on their 3B and how sucessful was it? When does it kick in (what RPM) when does the wastegate begin to open and how much boost are you running?
Please be specific and let me know make, year and engine size of vehicle that the turbo came out of, whether it has oil and water supplies, an adjustable wastegate and is it clockable, (ie: can the turbo and compressor sections be rotated independently of each other and the bearing section).
If you've got a photo of your exhaust manifold include it as well.
I've installed an AXT kit in the '82 BJ60 so I've got some experience in turbo's on the 3B. My AXT starts to provide boost at 1500rpm already and opens the wastegate at about 2500rpm and is running at 8-9psi boost.
I took a walk around a wrecker today and they had a Nissan ZX turbo but it doesn't clock easily due to the wastegate actuator mounting and the wastegate adjustment would be nearly inaccessible.
Has anyone used one of those?
