...gry???


Recommended Posts

aggry -- a glass bead found buried in the earth in Ghana.

puggry -- a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect. the head from the sun.

meagry -- of meager appearance.

puggry -- an Indian turban; a scarf worn around a sun helmet.

mawgry -- from Old French: being regarded with displeasure.

aggry -- colored glass beads worn by Africans.

anhungry -- an obsolete word for hungry that is allowed to stay in the dictionary because it shows up in Shakespeare.

Apparently the origin of this riddle was a simple trick of word play. It was meant to be spoken, not written, as the secret to the riddle was in mis-hearing the clue. The riddle went like this:

There are three words in the English language that end in g or y (sounds like "gry"). Angry and hungry are two. What is the third word in the English language. Everyone knows what it is and uses it everyday. The answer (another trick) to "What is the third word in "the English language," to noone's great surprise, is "language."

The riddle, as posted here, represents a real life example of the old "broken telephone" game almost everyone has played in school.

There's a crap load of stuff about the "gry" words on the net! Some people have way too much time on their hands :( :lol:

hrmm.. I was really looking at getting the GT25 Internals in the Std Housing for around 2k but Tilbrooks/JMS have said they arn't that good.

Bill (who does the turbo's) said that he was unsure why it only made 196rwkw with a fully tuned ecu on a RB20DET, he said for some reason it just died in the arse end up top, it should have been good for 210rwkw running 17 psi approx.

He said to me that for the same price he could do it in the RB25DET Housing which hopefully should fix the problem, he also said that different cars make different power hence some not good.

It would have to run around 17-18psi to make over 200rwkw.

Tilbrooks did say that ATS's turbo's had to run to much boost to make decent power.

They also said go a HKS 2530 if you can find it as they are heaps better quicker spooling just a better turbo all over.

Or go a HKS2510 and you will make pretty much just on 200rwkw max.

HKS Turbo's new are around $3500-4000 apparently. :eek:

hrmm.. ppls?? Any Idea's?

    • 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.
