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

Nice buy!

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.

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..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
