The workshop that I had fit the replacement transfer case tested it by reversing the car so the back wheels were on the free rollers of the dyno, and seeing if the front wheels would pull it off the rollers.. it didn't.

Only reason I had a workshop do it was because the box is far too heavy for me to remove and refit lying on the floor of my shed, better someone else have that headache.

Hi all, good thread.

I have a similar problem with mine, after a decent engine rebuild its currently running around 450-500bhp, has a tendancy to step out at the top end of 2nd gear so I imagine it may time to get the transfer looked at going by the other posts.

But my other main problem is in the launching or kicking the clutch, instead of gripping it shudders violently, like trying to launch a fwd, would that come back to the transfer not gripping or faulty cv joints? ETS gauge doesn't go up very much at all so I don't know if it would be slipping, maybe a fauly attesa pump? let me know your thoughts

if your gauge doesn't move much then you should try bleeding the system first, if you need the procedure let us know. If there's air in the system it can be quite sluggish. You can also test the amount of pressure the pump is pushing by putting a pressure gauge inline between the line and the back of the box and following the bleeding procedure, should produce between 43 and 71psi.

    • 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.
