rich spikes, like excessive revs or something? please explain....

Na like when the bov vents, excess un burn't fuel will be dumped into the exhaust causing a backfire type sound. Not overly loud - also doesn't happen all the time either, mine doesn't really do it much at all, the turbosmart ones are good because you can tighten them up to increase the spring rate - hardening the piston in the bov to stop your car from stalling. If the bov is too loose i.e venting too much and or under idle it will cause you car to stall. If you are interested in the sound etc of a blow off valve then a pod filter will give you a simular sound just using the stock bov.

Basically set up right and you shouldn't have too many issues, but it may just cause your car to have those 'rich' as in rich fuel mixtures when the bov vents. nothing really to worry about. Try your bov and try adjusting the spring rate by turning the head of it, it should be fine, but if its causing you issues just wak the stock one back on and use a pod filter.

i have a hks pod filter at the moment... might have been better if i stated that i also have 550cc injectors, bigger turbo, fmic, walbro fuel pump, dump pipe into stainless 3 inch, microtech ecu ect.

it has an apexi (twin chamber) bov on the crossover piping at the moment but its not in use, it has the hoses of it but making the flutter sound it must be actulator, is that what is happening by the sound of things???

Sounds like your current bov is not working at all. If it were a working plambback you would get no flutter ans just a kinda cough out the pod filter. If your apexi was a workgin atmo you should get the flutter under lighter load conditions but then its venting sound at higher load. Does your current bov make any noise?

If it doesn't it may just be not a strong enough vacuum line going to the top of it. Sometimes if the vac line going to the bov has a tee piece in it and a hose going somewhere else as well, then it doesn't function properly becuase it fails to reconginise the change in manifold pressure.

no, no sound comes out of the blow off valve at all, and yes it has a t piece, it should be to much of a change in pressure as the line has been kinked with a cable tie around it, blocking the boost controller, as my boost controller has been disabled. would it be an idea to totally remove t peice and hose to my boost controller?

Not totally sure how your setup is but, if the bov you currently have is in the stock position (just before the throttle body on the cross over pipe) It should have a single vac line running from the top of the bov and onto a the manifold (after the throttle body). Why is there a tee in the hose connecting to the top of the bov and where is it running to? I tee'd into it once before and the bov stopped working. So it needs to be a single line from the bov to the maniforld.

the tee piece near your air box etc won't have anything to do with the operation of the bov. Problem is i cant really see from that pic of the bov, where one of the red vac lines runs too.. the one furthest up the top looks like its running under the bov or is it connected to it as well? Where is that hose connected or does the bov have two hoses coming off it? A pic from the top rather than the side would be easier to see.

that looks like it should work. i'd say the piston is probably siezed in it.

oh ok, then maybe the bov is stuffed ir no good, because looking at the bov there is no tension screw on the top... arent the apexi twin chamber bov supposed to have the tension screw? if it is seized up is it possible to fix it?

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      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.
