The custom SS split dump on my 240Z has been wrapped for 5 years and still looks like new - and has no cracks. Having said that, the mild-steel dump that I used to have on my MR30 Skyline was rusted beyond repair after 4 years.

This is not surprising of course. I would seek a metalurgists perspective on this, but I'd rather repair/replace a $200 dump every 10 years than lunch the engine after a major coolant leak, or melting something important (like the battery on my Z!)

If you don't want to wrap the pipe, at least consider shielding adjacent components. Exhaust systems will melt paint - wiring & hoses are long gone by that point!

Soooooo, I was just about to order a JJR bell mouth front & dump pipe next week, and my friendly local speed shop phones me and say they have a 3" mild bell mouth (HPC coated) dump and front from a R32 for me for $125. I know it'll fit my turbo but can people see any fitment issues? I'm a welder by trade so I can slice and dice and weld where I have to to get a perfect fit, and it's $100 cheaper than a new mild bell mouth from JJR by the time I pay for delivery.

Thanks in advance, Greg.

the JJR is a multifit item for what its worth...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      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!
