Your problem is called "missfiring". If you do a search on these forums (or even on Google) you will get a better understanding of what it is and how to solve it.

It could be as simple as needing new/lower gap spark plugs or replacement coilpacks.

It is also luck of the draw if you have std ECU as sometimes putting up boost will result in a loss of power, which happened with mine. Yes this was proven to me on a Dyno, and you may not end up a clean power curve especially in higher RPM's (R&R).

If it is perfectly fine at 7psi then it's not a misfire, I very much doubt it anyway. You're hitting R&R - some ECUs don't like more than factory boost. Only way around this is to get an aftermarket or piggyback ECU and tune the car for the higher boost. Do some supporting mods for it too.

Nah it will be missfiring if he is saying its coughing and spluttering, mine was the same when it was stock. Was fine on stock boost, as soon as we put it up to 10psi it kept missing and had to go to .8 plugs with the factory coil packs which were dying.

phil is right. it will be a missfire caused by a weak spark. once you wind the boost up the spark can't ignite the fuel due to it being weak. start by pulling out the plugs and checking the gap on them. if it is 1.1mm then gap them down to 0.8mm (or put a new set of copper plugs in pre-gapped at 0.8mm) and see if that fixes the problem. if it makes it better but doesn't fix the problem then you will need a new set of coils.

That's fine, but yea try what mad082, PM-R33 and lachlanw said to try. After all they probably have wayyyyyyyy more knowledge/experience than me. BTW search function is pretty handy as most topics have already been covered.

      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.

      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.
