In melbourne so pretty spoilt for tuner choice actually :ermm:

Not really a concern unless it blows up ..And i have no clue ,so learning one will be as easy as learning the other

Real concern is which is the better ECU, or are they both capable units..If they are both as good as each other would probably rather get the new one as Scott said so im not relying on s/h parts..

(which is kind of hypocritical as everything in my car is s/h :D )

Is the e420 a lemon compared to PFC and the new e1280 or is it simply not as good. or does nobody really know cause nobody wants to try it...I mean its only got handle a bigger turbo and injectors, not alot really

Its not a lemon, its just not as nice a hardware package as the e1280, im still out to town on the e420 connectors but we still tune alot of e420's in 4age's and we have done a turbo mx5 with one never had any issues other than the connectors on some older ones.

my preferences are e1280s first, pfc second, e420 third and nistune last in this application. If it was a R34 or any other nissan nistune would be top choice for your mods.

As it turns out adaptronic is 1250 with loom and map, which isnt under a grand at all :D

So not only is the PFC tried and tested its cheaper too... :P

And i really cant find any complaints about it, whereas I've found a few on the others..

Problem solved :P

For a 6 cylinder engine the e420 is not ideal because it only does sequential injection and ignition for 4 cylinders. you have to run 6 cylinders with waste spark and semi sequential injection (which means that 2 or 3 of your cylinders will get fuel when the intake valve is CLOSED, this is inefficient).

I would never go an ECU that didn't have at least 6 ignition and 6 injector drivers on an RB. PFC all the way.

Looked into nistune but on an R33 it's too much jerking around. The only thing I don't like about PFC is no knock retard. a minor issue but something i wish it had.

Thanx

So thats what it means, i kept reading it but had no idea what it meant exactly. Seems crazy..

Does that mean it would run fine as a v8 ecu?

      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)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      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.
