Boost cut...

Caused when the turbo supplies too much boost for the stock ECU to handle.

Well, not so much handle, but for the ECU to scream "I WON'T LET YOU HURT THE MOTOR!"

Basically, to avoid it, turn the boost down a touch.

R33 RB25DET boost cut is around 12psi, R32 RB20DET boost cut is about 21psi.

Are you sure it is boost cut?

21 psi on a stock ceramic turbo and stock ecu?

wtfark.

I think it is?

When he gets up it a bit the BOV goes off like a slart and and the car jerks and shudders and it feels like the turbo actually is cutting in and out.. he is running around 14 psi. All he has is pod filter, FMIC, Exhaust system and a bov. not sure of the brands.

There is no such thing as boost cut

The ECU goes into Rich & Retard mapping, it has to do with airflow, not a specific level of boost as such.

OBNXSH - what you are describing sounds to me like its due to the BOV, its ATMO venting correct?

If your mate puts the stock BOV back on there, that will fix the problem for free.

Oh, and 14 isnt safe... the turbo might live, it might not

I see.. Alright ill see how that goes.. Its just weird because my parents used to own a 33 gtst on 14 pounds on the stock turbo, stock ECU with a 60- 40% plumb back BOV the GFB hybrid one, And the same thing happened with that... The mechanic which worked on it (owners of the old hardcore racing in brisbane) said that it was boost cut :S

Weird. maybe its just a nickname or something.

Well if its doing it under load, then its Rich 7 Retard

If its playing up when he backs off? Ie, the BOV going off, is he backing off, or is that under full load?

If its under load, then thats Rich & Retard. Backing off the boost will reduce the airflow and make the ECU happy.

A PowerFC or any other ECU will stop that from happening if you wanted to get rid of the problem altogether

It happens around 4 1/2 - 5k revs, it stops when you back off. it just jerks the car around, its like it cuts out and the car jerks forward then it kicks back in and take off and then stops again and jerks the whole car forward and the only way is to back off the accel all together... its pretty scary when it happens when you dont expect it.. on the odd occasion it happened when the turbo was just spooling (in my parents 33)

Just drop the boost till it stops, could be 12psi, could be 10psi.

Only way to know is to knock it down bit by bit.

But it will fix it.

If it doesnt, could well be a coil pack/ignition issue then.

But back the boost off first

In two of the stock ECU 32's I did it on, it actually cut ignition at 21psi boost.

The 33's I meant boost limit. (Via solenoid)

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
