How does R&R feel, mine just seams to stop pulling and then takes off again.

It feels like you're putting your foot on and off the accelerator really quickly, and you lose a fair bit of power. Sometimes it's worse than other times. I've gotten a loud pop from the exhaust on a relatively hot day, on cooler days nothing much happens.

yeah that's it, pulls hard to 4500, then flatens a bit and then takes off like somone lite a firecracker under it's a s s, from 5500 onwards.

Yeah i don't get much popoing or anything, but i certianly fell it more when cold, as my boost controller does NOT controll boost well. LOL

Hi guys, just an update, I tried resoldering and drilling a 0.6mm hole in the restrictor and it's *still* boosting over 10psi at some rpm! When I tested it, the outside temp was probably around 22-25C and it was definitely going into R&R pretty badly. I held it all the way to redline and it felt like less power than stock, even though it was indicating 11psi (down to maybe 9psi above 5500rpm), so I think R&R was occurring all the way to 7000rpm.

I'm pretty sure I'll need a new boost map, however Sydneykid's base map that I'm using now has a solenoid injectory duty cycle of up to 90% so there's not a whole lot of room to move in regards to actually reducing boost. I'm not sure what will happen when I remove the R&R - will it produce even more boost? Or in other words, is the R&R limiting boost?

The only thing I can think of is the air is escaping out the sides between the restrictor and the T-piece, but I've twisted some copper wire around the T-piece to act as a clamp and it's on there reasonably tightly. I can still pull it off with one hand and a bit of force, but it's not like it's going to fall off by itself. I also thought that possibly the solder could have come out, but after I pulled out the restrictor that I resoldered and redrilled last time, it wasn't that.

Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped right about now...

Oh yeah, one more thing, I've noticed that after fitting this Jaycar stuff, my car sort of seems to misfire when idling. It seems like it's when the A/C compressor cuts in, like just one cylinder that makes the car jolt a bit, but a couple of days ago when it was left idling for a long time it was doing it every 20 secs or so. After I started driving it seemed to mostly go away. Could this be some fouled spark plugs, maybe caused by my testing in R&R?

If the plugs are old or gapped wide (more than 0.8mm), then chances are you have fouled them with the R&R running. Stop the R&R and the misfiring will stop.

The most common problem on IEBC’s I find is that guys put the vent in the wrong place . Where have you got the vent placed?

It should be between the T piece and the inlet pipe to the turbo, after the AFM.

Not between the solenoid and the T piece.

Not between the T piece and the wastegate actuator.

Not between the boost supply (inlet pipe to the engine) and the solenoid.

:P Cheers :D

I have no idea what gap the plugs are. They are just what was on the car when I bought it. When you say the misfiring will stop, do you mean after I've bought new plugs, or after a while without going into R&R they will clean themselves?

I'm pretty sure I've got the vent/restrictor (same thing?) in the correct place. I've attached a pic (sorry about the quality, don't have a digital camera). The T-piece is connected up slightly differently to what I've seen before, but it should still do the same thing (?). The turbo inlet pipe is the one with the small plastic connection coming off it, which is underneath the bigger pipe with the top small tube connected between it and the top solenoid connection?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
