How would a GTX3076 go with a 0.63 rear housing ( external) assuming it had either water/meth or E85??

assuming it had 22psi, would it be a fail or quite good?

You have the perfect housing, don't change it to the .63 or you will have more issues with det than you have now.

I doubt your engine is that coated in carbon that the compression would have been bumped, Can you get a scope down there for a look? If it is just drop the head off and clean it up, if its not there are some serious issues with your setup Mark.

Im starting to think its to do with the tuner, he didnt take very long, most of it was done within an hour, on the graph its only holding 16psi and you'd think he would of said, "mate, there only mild cams, you got some issues with leaks somwhere", it even stalled on him on the drive home, i think fix up this leak and possibly change the wastgate spring for a 1bar spring and even replace the resonator and then retune with E85.

My standard GT series made good power at only 21psi with .82 rear and full boost is 3800 or something.... So no need for smaller rear I don't think...

how long would it take to clean the motor if your running ethanol? or would that matter if your running ethanol?

Mine had a little carbon on the pistons, a quick squirt of gasket stripper cleaned them right up. Its a 150,000k engine so it should have been fairly caked.

The ethanol wont ever ping with a good tune and it's cheaper to run than 98 now the price dropped. (United) Shame the only outlet in Qld is Warwick, how close are you?

How well did it hold boost in the high rpm?

Did it drop off towards redline?

It used to drop off too 18psi by red line, tuner said if we could hold boost up top it would crack well into the 400's..

Warwick? im pretty sure theres some close by , well 40mins away at kessels rd mt gravatt which is on the way to the city anyway. :yes:

That would be from the pump, so is it right in saying the tuner will tune it not on the egde to account for if the ethanol content varies?

United is at Warwick.

Ethanol variation isn't a problem, even 10% variation would hardly change the afr's. I guess I have no worries with it as I bought a wideband, perhaps you should lash out $200 on a gauge too if you decide to go with e85?

Every tune is rich on boost, how much so depends on what your tuner is comfortable with. The Jap tuners love 10:1 on petrol with shitloads of timing, here around 12:1 and a less aggressive timing map is the norm. Either of these tunes should have enough overhead for a fair amount of variation and it should never ping anyway. Just make sure your tuner has e85 experience (although most would by now.)

I'm running 19-20:1 on cruise at the moment with no adverse effects, no knock and good exhaust temps. Try that with petrol, it wont run well and you would f*ck your engine fairly quickly I assume.

You need to get out more.

Caltex goodna

caltex springfield

caltex yamanto

Caltex goldcoast (suburb escapes me)

Caltex upper m Gravatt

All carry Eflex. I fill up at the yamanto outlet regularly and have used most of the others.

Plans are underway for a major increase in outlets, A new plant is being built in north qld right now.

Once completed you will see a major increase in the number of outlets.

any word if this major increase will stretch to NSW?

Nation wide from what I can glean.

The plant is definitely under construction as we speak. A friend has a supply contract for parts for the new truck fleet delivering cane to the plant when it opens.

That is freaking unreal. More or less the only issue I have with moving to ethanol is its availability.

If its more readily available in my area and on the way to wakefield I would happily retune my shitbox to run it.

Anyway, GTX bla bla bla.

    • 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
    • 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)?
    • 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.
