Not too much, just had a hotdog for lunch...

Quiet day for you today mate, workwise?

Yeah, never like to work too much, wouldn't want to burn myself out :D

Just sitting around waiting for a call from Mr G.Woods, getting the oil cooler fitted today. Woot! One step closer to being able to take the R to QR.

Excellent work...

What is left before the R graces the track? Bigger sump, baffles etc?

Speaking of hotdogs. There is a Takeaway joint near on of the jobs I am doing at the moment that has a hotdog with the works for $3. Its about a foot long and has bacon, onion, cheese and whatever sauce you want. And they cook it all infront of you. So tasty, so filling and $3

Yeah, those and a new clutch and a few other little things which I probably don't really need but would prefer to put them on like catch cans and bigger radiator and stuff. No HP mods though, it will go fast enough I am sure. :mad: Big labour $$$$ in some of those though. :D

Jason, yes the new belt is going in on friday so she'll be ready for the track next month hopefully with some decent tyres and a power Fc then :D

Sweet, you will never have so much fun! You really can go flat out. not like the Mtn runs where it is the ones you can push their luck the most. :headspin:

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!
