HI, what is involved with putting a turb on a landcruiser bj73 3b diesel engine?Can they produce more power than the 13bt engine?Is it a reliable option?How much will it cost?

Thanks

depends on your skills and/or budget. you can make more power than a STOCK 13B-T however spending the same money on a 13B-T will yield far more impressive results.

ring around turbo suppliers and see what they can do for you. the going price for a fitted and tuned turbo kit with exhaust is around the $3500 mark.

if you have some turbo know-how you can pick up a turbo on ebay or from importers for $100 - $500, throw in another $300 for plumbing and you have a DIY turbo setup for under $1000.

I fitted mine in an afternoon, made a huge difference.

Hi Looked at an artical by Roothy and he had a pic of a conrod from a 3B and a 13BT and he reckons it is why he wouldnt turbo a 3B but others have done it with no dramas has long has its not got to much boost etc

if you have alot of money, there is a 14bt on ebay....that would hammer. I had a 3b turbod and drove it 100 k kms and as far as i know it is still going.

could you send me the link?

Thanks

My 3b has been turdoed for over 10 years with no problems, still going strong

or buy my 6.2l chev deisel and conversion

then intercool it
