I dont have time or I would computer design your subby box and build it, ask Jack 88 on here, see if he's busy or not?

the hard wired converter is easy, take the cig plug apart, look at the power wire going to the center pin, it is the positive wire, the other is ground.

one side of the wire case will normally have ribs on it or white stripe. make note of the one that has the positive wire.

cut off the cig plug leaving a little bit of wire on the end so you can rebuild it if you desire later on.

buy a blade fuse holder of the same value used in the cig lighter plug. from autoshop. if it takes more then 10amps I would run a 10ga wire to the battery and fuse it within close proximity of battery to protect the car not the item. ground it within a few centmeters of the conveter to a bare metal ground with a large tex screw(watch out for fuel lines or other items under it) or a existing bolt, seat bolt works good just scrape off the paint first under it. solder all conections to prevent failures. make sure the power converter has fresh air to keep cool and mount secure, tidy up the wires, done!!!

depending on the convertor location you might need a on off switch too and relay

what kind of sub box do you have in mind? for what brand and type of subs. what music type? goal, sound off compete or just nice looking? make's a big diff in cost

how much power will you run to them? you might be better off buying a used box on commy club site, plenty around. thats where i sold my last two VT boxes? unless you want custom /cool boxes?

if you get stuck i can pro desgn it, but dont have time to build now, sorry

nothing like a "your brother was in a car accident" to wake you up after only being asleep for 3hrs.

but thankfully he's ok, car is a write off but ohwel.

It beats getting the phone call that they're dead. Sorry to be so morbid, but I've had some of those. :huh:

Glad to hear he's okay.

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