Looks good champ!! What turbo is that that's on it?? Lack of AFM as well, aftermarket ecu???

Its a TO4E

make 15 pounds by about 3500 its pretty decent.

Its got a Motec M4 ECU

Was this car sold on ebay recently? in adelaide?

It was on ebay, but wasn't sold there..

Yeah thats the one that was for sale up at Lonsdale SA isnt it.

Car was also on eBay.

I went up and had a look at it where the guy was selling it, looked nice.

Nice buy!

Cheers.

IM pretty happy, althouth it wasn't as healthy as i thought when i bought it.

thats the one

thats awesome! does it hae a bit of history or is it just painted like the PJ cars?

Its close th the PJ colours, but thats only because he did it.

NO history that i know of. But by the amounts of work/parts on it i may have a had a bit of a history in Japan.

that guy had 2 for sale when i went to have a look he wasent a very good salesman he told me straight up there was no way i would get the ex race one with the rollcage through regency thats a real great sales pich

he was helpfull though. what did you end up paying for it he had something like $10,000 on it when i looked.

the car look absolutly nuts now nice work

I had a quick look at that DR when it was plain white, I remember following it up the road one day & it didn't seem to be running so well (very rich & not pulling that hard).

Hopefully you've got it running sweeter now. It's interesting that it's got a MoTec, their not that common in the aftermarket in Japan.

HKS once made a TO4E kit for FJ20ET's , it ued a high rear mount T4 flanged manifold with a small external gate underneath it . The turbos exhaust housing was a HKS special and quite small ie .4x ish AR ratio so that you could get same day boost response . Not positive but I think the turbine was an "O" trim meaning mid trim T4 . Really stretching the memory banks but I believe the comp cover was .50 AR TO4E . For their day they had far greater potential than the std T3 but better things are available now . A GT3037 with the smaller 52 trim compressor would be more responsive and if the integral gate T3 flanged exhaust housing due any day now was used with the std DR30 manifold it goes bolt . The real GT30R which is just the big comp trim GT3037 would be Ok and no less laggy than the dinosaur bush/plate bearing TO4E .

Cheers .

its still not tuned 100% we realised it had a leaky head gasket on the dyno, got a cometic one fitted now.

just put a new clutch in it, changing the diff and it will be back on the dyno.

Yes DP03 .48 rear i think, works fairly well i reckon makes full boost (15 psi) by 3500 and im confedent it will make over 200kws this time round.. (made 170 with a fair few issues last time)

As you said this turbo is less laggy than my old T3 on my other FJ..

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
