Ha ha I would have to kill sam to get that double cab off his hands. He loves it so much he went and bought himself another one. Sweet looks like im stripping it went out today and nearly completely dissasembled the bottom half of the donor motor to get at the crank.came into some trouble pulling ...

Ok just to clarify im not planning on doing any welding. If I am to remove the crank and replace can I do it from the bottom or do I have to go in from the top? I downloaded a couple of online manuals and they didnt help at all with the removal of the crankshaft.

Hey guys, so I am in the process of preping a 13b engine (red block) to go into my bj40.It came out of a dyna truck so had a different bell housing and clutch/flywheel and gearbox. To my supprise when I took the bellhousing off the engine the flywheel on the 13b is welded to the flange on the end of ...

Cheers, Would you take $100 bux for the snorkle and ill arrange to get it etc?

Hey where are you located mate I could be keen on the snorkle if its there?

Can do swaps aswell for 60 series landcruiser bits (have one wrecking) or a dyna gearbox I pulled off ( heard they may be of use for some V8s or something)

Hey guys looking for a hilux gearbox/transfer that will bolt up to a dyna bellhousing. (im putting the 13b from a dyna into my truck so already have the housing) . Cheaper the better.

PM me if you have anything. CHCH area

Thanks

Thanks for that, and yip meant 3b, so any difference except turbo between 13b and 13bt?

Also what is a hotbox? I know all about glow plugs but 13b dont have these correct?

had a search through previous posts and couldnt find anything on this. Except for the turbo of course, anything else different??

Just checking as am going to slap a turbo on my 13b non turbo.

Cool, just bought the engine, its out of a dyna. Apparently it is 12 volts so no worries there. Should I forget about wanting to use the 5 speed from it since its prob a dyna box/ might not mount up to my exisiting transfer case/ lengths and everything where the 13b should go straight in (sorta) and ...

Cheers for your help doesnt sound too much of a mission then. One last thing, the toyota dyna came out with landcruiser engines, did they come out with the same gearboxes aswell h55f's ? or are they completely different gearboxes?

Also another quick thing, 13b are they all 24 volt? since my truck is 12 volt is this gonna be a nightmare?

Ok im two weeks away from ripping into my bj40 project, power steering from a 60 series, wider axles with disc brake from 60 all sitting in my garage ready to be put in. Im also considering a 13b engine swap aswell, my question is if I got the 13b with 5 speed gearbox (I know it doesnt line up with ...

http://www.te.co.nz/te-motors/Car-Acces ... 026408.htm might be worth a look is in aux too.

Just got myself a whole bj60 for a parts car that has power steering disc brakes etc so sounds like ill be pulling the whole diffs and putting them under with the power steering. Ill be looking at putting the whole axles under with power steering, the B engine in it also has an aftermarket turbo and ...

How warn are the tires?

Hey yip sure am mates with sam, how did u know ??? ha ha All points taken aboard and ill let you know how it turns out. I have tried searching in this forum but I must not be searching the right things as I never get the info I want???? Have done a lot of searching on Ih8mud which was quite usefull ...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone could go over what im looking at for this conversion. I know you have to extend the mounts for the shackles due to the width. The main thing im wondering is the steering and the brake booster, what would need to be modified with the steering??? also if its a ...

Hey guys, looking for a soft top cover for my 81 bj40. Will need the metal support framwork aswell.

Thanks

Hey will this fit into a bj40 rear diff? (4.11 ratio) . Also how nasty could you get shipping to christchurch for. Probably pretty expensive with weight? Thanks

Does anyone know the best place to get the bits and pieces for a body raise? also there is no chance in getting a warrent with a SOA with no cert for it aye? Thanks guys

Cool thanks guys my main reason is doing 100ks an hour is because we use it to head up mt hutt which is just over an hour out of christchurch looks like I might just deal with 90ks an hour. A body lift will give me enough lift to put 33s on with 15inch rims yes? might head down that direction as it ...

Thanks for your reply muddy, I think my truck has the gearbox hanging and the crossmember under the bell housing (is located just infront the joint between gearbox and bellhousing on bellhousing side). Im guessing that it is not strong enough to use standard x member under the bellhousing? Has ...

Hey guys just wondering whats involved with putting a 5 speed under a bj40? Has anyone done it? have heard that the h55f 5 speed will bolt straight up. Just wanting to know if any modifications are needed to x member mounts/ driveshaft and how hard it is. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey guys, just wondering with respect to a snorkle for my bj40 what is needed. Is diameter of the pipe important ? I saw this one on trademe for $100. m Except my engine is a B series diesel turbo, therefore the intake is on the exhaust side which means the pipe would need to be reversed?? Is this a ...

Butsept mine was on the opposite side of the motor (exhaust)

Hey yeah it is just under the main water intake pipe on engine (just under the bit where the themostat usually goes in). Should have one wire attached, I measured my sensor with a ohmmeter and it was infinite (which means its screwed) so replaced it today, cost me 25 bux. Took it for a quite drive ...

Found the answer to my own question so never mind =)

Hey I own a 1981 bj40, the temperature guage is not working and I was just wondering where the temperature measuring device is located on the engine ( its a B series diesel).

Also whats the best way to test these sensors?? THANKS
