Got my 120 degree intake made up yesterday, fitted it today, seems a hell of a lot more responsive (had to be careful, pissing down out here). Need to get my BOV adjusted properly yet, every now and then when pulling up it stalls, and yes its a plumb back. What is the best way to adjust it?

1st pick shows with original.

2nd pick shows both side by side, alot of piping taken out.

i think it would make a difference. he's eliminated 2 sharp-ish bends which will cause a bit of turbulance and restriction. the last bend is open in terms of the angle.

i like the design. to get to your last 3 plugs you need to take the crossover pipe off anyway. at least now its only a matter of 2 clamps and you can swing it around. the oil filler cap will be a bit of a problem though.

I'll be going for exactly this kind of setup in about a months time. SydneyKid and a few others recommend it. RE in the way of the sparkplugs/coils - the only piping I've seen that isn't is a forward facing plenum, any other aftermarket IC piping is also in the way and has to be taken off for work. I'll be trying Hypertune's kit, apparently it's 5 piece.

Oil filler cap isn't that big of a problem

I have a pipe much similar to that

When I'm doing oil, I'm doing plugs at the same time, so that pipe is off!

If I needed to "top up" you can still get the cap off easily enough.

Bonnet isnt as problem and i can live with the oil filler cap, 2 clamps and its off. I think it even looks better. Intake temps have dropped a little as well, i monitor those with one of those jaycar temp probes.

Also, Wolverine: That's the exact same one I run. I don't find hose clamps are needed to be loosened at all.

they might have modified the kit slightly, i got mine a while ago. mine fowls slightly so loosening the clamps is enough to unscrew the cap.

or possibly the location of the cooler is different on yours which lifts it up the few mm's to clear the cap?

just throwing it out there.

wouldnt it be more beneficial to get a forward facing intake plenum.

im installing one atm and it gets rid of almost 2m of piping and looks clean.

nice and clean. u can access the engine block without all the piping in the way

plenum=200-400 ebay

bolts, nipples etc=20

xf TB= 50 ebay

270-470. and is a long term fix with greater benefits.

labour costs=NO

Another negative comment, didnt get any last night ay?

:)

Don't get me wrong.

It's the design I would do from the start if I was doing a fmic.

Gibson motorsport used this on the race R31's..

I just wouldn't have bothered if it already had the U shape across the motor like he already had.

each to their own.

had to do this too, as my turbo was in the way of the stupidly wide arc made by the original piping. i dont think i want it close to the exhaust anyway

i dont like the look of it tho, so will go some sort of front facing plenum eventually

      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)?

      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.
