I was able to order the one where the analog needle gage is EGT and the Boost and Temp is the small digital reading at the bottom. I'll try and start the install tomorrow!

Hi!
Im having trouble finding an idler arm for my JB500. Any leads on where you found yours and what the part number is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have a 94. I just had DelicaUSA upgrade to a turbo. That included a complete head assembly, turbo, rebuilt injector pump and manifold. I have replaced the complete exhaust with a larger 2.5” to accommodate the turbo. All cushions have been reupholstered. I am looking to sell and purchase a Sprinter based unit. I will sell at a bit of a loss for no less than $39. Turbo upgrade was $6k alone.
See my post regarding my JB 500 and a possible sale in this thread. Or just search JB500

I get that this message is not about the usual turbo pressure or intercooler stuff but....
I moved house in Scotland a few weeks ago and only have my JB500 here. So it is doing the grocery shopping trips and hardware store runs. But every time I start the engine I crack a big smile. I get that old vehicles are a challenge, but just for a moment I'd like to say how stupidly happy I feel when it starts

Hey, sorry I didn't see this before, usually I get an alert on a forum message, but didn't.
The Idler arm I used was sourced by Steven Lee / Rising Sun. It isn't a Mitsubishi OEM, it's for a Hundai Galloper , but it fit exactly the same with one modification, the mounting flat plate has three bolt holes in a triangle configuration, the top hole didn't align with the frame member hole, we drilled an aligned hole just below on the plate, it was perfect. The arm is identical besides that one mount hole reposition.
Didn't affect any alignment.
The OEM Idler had some kind of nonmetallic bushing that had disintegrated, I'm assuming it was designed to have an ability to flex, I'm not sure, but it definitely was not internally bushed with metal.
On the other side, my Bell Crank housing also had play. That was hard to source but I did get the OEM also thru Rising Sun, but I found the part # myself online, then had RS import it to me.
I have a 94 jb500 on an l300 frame. I had DelicaUSA in Philadelphia add a turbo. That involved a new head assembly, injector pump, injectors, complete exhaust from the manifold out to accommodate the turbo and custom oil lines,etc. Also, a new aluminum radiator and auxiliary cooling fan was added. it wasn’t cheap. The performance improvement is noticeable and now a 55 mph cruise is easily done. Driving in windy conditions is a real eye opener. I live and camp on nearly flat terrain and have driven on the beach. I am now doing the electrical conversion which will require a new fridge when connected to shore power. I am now using it in the gas only mode. The conversion requires a replacement converter/charger and replacement of the breakers and receptacles. I also ran higher gauge wire with a ground from the new shore power connection to the breakers, converter and outlets. I settled for 30 amps in case I decide to add a rooftop a/c unit later. I would also replace the drinking water tank as it is likely to be unhealthy to drink from. Propane lines are likely in need of replacement.

I believe mine is 2.5 inches, it is posted on this thread, it is actually a pipe attached to the oem down pipe, I just went to a tail pipe place and got one made.
ah so not an aftermarket downpipe but a 2.5" exhaust after the downpipe?

Just got back from our six month trip through Mexico (see Map). The JB 500 perform perfectly no problem. The only issue was the Glowshift gage, lost my water gauge in San Felipe and our egt gauge was intermitting. We where 4x4 in many places i think the Glowshift wire connection came lose somewhere. I trying to thinking of changing or staying with Glowshift. Just an fyi.
