No the first place you could ask is me .

Which FJ20 inlet manifold do you want as there are two DR30 variations and the S12 Gazell type .

The one I used in the Bluebird I had 4 cars ago was the slightly larger plenum volume early version . I removed the external EGR log from the lower side of the runners and the throttlebody flange was removed and welded back on at a better angle for the old birds intercooler plumbing .

I have all three and their native fuel rails and FPR's from memory so drop us a PM and make an offer .

In Syd , cheers A .

BTW still have all sorts of FJ20 odds and endz looking for new homes ie Gazell engine mount brackets (v hard to find nowdays) Gazelle thermo housing , loom, Gazelle turbo exhaust manifold and cast dump pipe (no fire wall mods) and these dumps have the waste gate integrated unlike the DR30's extra flapper plate and small bore bolt on elbow , intercooled DR30 ECU , odds and endz .

There is a lot of miss information about inlet manifolds and in this case the std DR30 manifold is not as bad as many think .

The ultimate system is individual throttlebodies and is why Nissan used them on RB26's and the GTiR spec SR20 .

Still while the Japs race 9-11000 rpm drag engines the copy cats think its the way to go .

Actually thats only partially true, the RB26 was designed to compete in the up to 4500cc touring car class.

And as such was a curcuit car engine firstly.

ITB's give better response,not necessarily more power.

I guess it depends on exactly what you are trying to make.

A drag car would want 1 large t/b over itb's.

The other way around for raod/track car.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
