Started tearing into the troopy to see what needs to be done. Pulled off the random smittybuilt jeep bumper. View attachment 2926524
So far the condition of the vehicle is in better shape than I was expecting.

Unicorn there! Looks awesome with the third door.
 
My locks are tired, so when I replace my door cards, I'm breaking into the full set. Here's a complete lockset parts number for 70 series. Includes: ignition, spare wheel locking lug, glove box lock, three doors, and fuel tank... All keyed together with three spares. IIRC, I paid $250

Can you take some photos of what they look like out of the package? I have been trying to find a set for my 73. Also where did you get them?

Yep! Well, If I remember tomorrow, I will. ;-)

 
Took off my turbo today looking for the cause of my oil burning. Turbo bearing is shot. My $130 eBay td04l 13t lasted less than 10,000 miles. Perhaps it was because I was trying to get 5,000 MI out of the dinosaur rotella t and not using synthetic. Boost has never been more than 15 psi.
I had another tdo4 that I rebuilt so I put it in. Oil smoke is gone now.
Going to redo my oil supply line as the rubber line with Barb fittings is leaking a bit. Not sure if I'll do copper line with compression fittings and brazing or maybe go to Napa and have them custom make me a hydraulic line to fit.
Glad to know that it's the cheap turbo going out and not excess blow by / rings going bad from my inframe rebuild.
Might try a bigger turbo. Put up with a little bit of lag for more boost on the top end to lower egts on the highway.

Do you mind sharing where you got that set. It is the one I am looking for but gave up. The set I have is basically the same but doesn't include the spare wheel locking lug so I just bought it separately to be matched up with the keys of the new set I have.

Best money spent ever on my '94 FZJ75. I would have to look up my part number but it came with the same except 2 fuel tank locking caps (even though I only needed 1). Again, money very well spent.

This set is for 78 series troopy with two locking fuel doors (circled in red) (not caps) and no glovebox door lock. It was on ebay last week but not anymore. It depends on your ignition lock but I am positive it would work on a 75 series troopy also.

My FZJ75 is a pickup. It doesn't have fuel doors, just caps. Here's the set that I used:

You can buy some AN supply turbo lines for really cheap online.

I think the TD04-13T should be a good fit for the 3B. I wouldn't go for a bigger turbo as it will just keep getting more lag. The TD04HL-19T can max out a 4BD1T which is a 3.9L direct injected turbo diesel. Have you completely blocked the waste gate? You could also unhook your air filter (just for a test run real quick) to see what PSI that turbo will pull.

Its possible if my math is correct, you are choking that turbo out at 15psi. The 13BT can use up to 327cfm at 15psi, and that's on the choke line for the TD04-13T. Thats a big IF, my math is correct.

Here is my lock set for 2018 79 series

I just need a fuel door, glovebox and ignition (super sloppy). For the doors in Honduras I installed Yale locks. Cars are stolen a lot there.

I appreciate your reply on the turbo. I got a proper oil/ hydraulic line made at Carquest today for $26. It's not leaking so that's good. I brazed the male hydraulic fitting to the metal banjo bolt supply line I had. Carquest in our little town will make custom hydraulic hoses while you wait. Napa will do that as well.

The oil supply is a little tricky. Oil ports on the 3B are 1/8" BSP thread. You can force thread a brass 1/8"npt male fitting into the block and it will not leak. You cannot force thread a steel 1/8" NPT male hydraulic fitting into the bock. You can buy a 1/8" BSP to 1/8" NPT adapter from Mcmaster Carr, but that fitting leaked for me, even with teflon tape..Go figure BSP="Brittish Standard Pipe"....doesn't everything Brittish leak fluids?

I have a 1/8 brass NPT to 1/4" barb with 1/4" hydraulic lined crimped onto it going into the block.

I've been running the TD04-13T for over 2 years now. There is no lag at all. Boost is right there when you get on the throttle. I don't have any problem or lack of power on trail or around town with or without turbo. The weakness is on the highway at 65-70mph. I'd like a bit more boost on full load to lower EGT a bit. My manifold is a welded box tube style manifold so not really free flowing. I'm going to try to weld a new one using the original cast manifold. Hoping that it's more steel less iron and I can weld it without it cracking up.............I know there are some really great turbo kits and such that work well with the 3B for big$$$$. I won't do that. I'll do a engine swap first. ....Without the intercooler and alot of fuel I can hit 17PSI on full throttle runs through the gears. With the intercooler hooked up I loose 3-4PSI but EGT's climb more slowly. I don't understand what you mean by choking the turbo?? I understand that bigger spools slower, but provides more boost on top/loaded. Smaller spools faster and provides boost quicker for better part throttle drivability and throttle response, but won't make as much boost on top as it will only pump so much air/allow so much exhaust out.
