I don't believe your tuner flow tested your pump before installing it. That would be weird and totally unnecessry in all but the most hardcore situations.

I would check that the pump is installed properly and securely. The sock fits back on those pumps so it should be there. In particular the mouting bracket should be in place and the plug into the pump should be secure. Also as mentioned it wouldn't hurt to swap pumps to see if that helps.

Try cleaning your AFM with contact cleaner.

Do you have an oil/air separator (catch can). Oil vapours could be "infecting" your intake air. And that will severely reduce the effective octane of the whole air / fuel combo.

Another possibility is a worn piston or 2 slopping around in the bore, "simulating" knock. Have you done compression and leak down tests on the engine.

We think we have found the problem!, took it to the tuner and let him have it til he fixed/found the problem.

He replaced FPR got injectors cleaned and serviced ran direct wiring from battery to fuel pump, still the problem was there, last thing it could be was fuel pump, took it out and found the sock was full of black shit!!! replaced the sock with a new one and cleaned out the tank, problem gone! yippee. Thank fark for that. retuned and running great again.

Running a very safe tune at the moment as want to be 100% its fixed so i'll drive it for a few weeks like this and see how it goes. Made 185rwkw so not too shabby, tuner said he can get more but wants to run safe to make sure.

Cheers for the people who tried helping.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
