All went well yesterday, no power figures as yet, as Allstar just did a run-in tune (7psi & 4k rev limit).

Need to do 1000k run in now. Only problem is, the car isn't registered! Has anyone got any advice as to how to go about running in an engine on an unregistered car? (without doing it on a dyno). Was thinking to just get a 48 hour movement permit, but not sure how strict they are with those...

Anyone done this before?

Also, on the topic of Kando/Kamak products. A while ago I was in search of a decent 50mm blow off valve, but couldn't really afford the price tag on a Tial or Turbosmart BOV. I searched for ages, and ended up coming to the conclusion that I could either a) just suck it up and buy an expensive item, and know that it will be quality, or b) skimp out and risk buying one of the cr@ppy brands on ebay, and hope that it does the job properly.

But then I happened to stumble across this one on ebay (which didn't turn up in any of my previous searches for some reason). I discovered that kando sells a 50mm Kamak BOV, and it is quite in-expensive;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KAMAK-Turbo-Blow-Off-Valve-BOV-50mm-w-3-typs-Spring-/280913545263?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4167c0882f

I currently have this fitted, and as of yesterday, I can say I'm quite impressed with the quality of it so far. Won't be able to fully vouch for it's quality until the car is tuned for higher power, but perhaps this is another kando product that can perform and at only a fraction of the price.

The only problem so far, is that I got a tiny bit of 'flutter' sometimes, when coming off light boost, but i'm thinking I may just need to put a weaker spring in there. Will update once I've seen how it performs under full boost conditions.

Also, when I purchased this a few months ago, it was priced at $150 inc. delivery, but it looks as though they have bumped the price to $150 + $25 delivery since.

funny this has come up now, ill be assembling in the next few weeks. not liking this run in business, i want to drop it off for the tune and bring it home as is. dont wanna pay and pay and pay again.

ill probably bed the rings, drop the oil and just thrash it happily ever after.

Do people even do 1,000km run ins these days? Most people just run them up on the dyno, Dump oil and coolant and filters and top up with new fluids and go for gold.

When I had my RB26 built its all we did.

I'm still impatiently waiting for mine to arrive .

lol my car runs dude, ill go start it now just for good measure :P wouldnt want the world to end.

im building a spare motor for it and going for a nice 270kw setup. only started about a month ago and im almost ready to start assembling the fundamentals.

can the world hold out a little longer u rekon? lol

Getting my T67-25G with Cams,44mm gate , nz manifold, Tunned this Thursday at Allstars on 98 octane as well. will post results. :yes:

just need to sort out few small issues before dyno.

- Modify (weld) my intake pipe for GFB blow of valve - i have started the car without blow off and went for lap around the block..

i also heard if you dont run blow of vale that it can damage you turbo is that right ? backpresure ? , Mafia on the forums didnt run any blow off valve..

- replace my complaence cat with a 100 cell cat ...

and it should be all ready to GO , i just hope i dont get any issues on the dyno...

:yes:

I been thinking of going T67 on NZ manifold and 44mm gate on my 34 too but realized I have to re-route my cross over intake pipe, BOV and all the associated hoses and sensors, what a headfk job..The typical U layout cooler pipes will foul any highmount turbos.. Man would have loved a T67 but too much pain, unless theres better ways..will stick with the TD06 for now

Better to run a BOV but not essential...

Just run a cat pipe and put standard cat back in if you need to go over the pits.

Man up and DO IT Ron :P

48 hour permit... Just have to call the DPI and give them locations you are driving around to. Just find mechanics/car workshops around the metro area, get them listed on the permit and drive between them :)

Yeah, that's what we were thinking.

I wonder how strict they are with the permits though. Like, for example, If I were to list an address/workshop in Dunsborough on the permit. I may just call the DPI and ask if they would allow for a long distance drive, for the purpose of running in a rebuilt engine.

I've heard mixed advice/opinions on this, but in the end I've just decided to play it safe, and do the run-in. Probably won't do the full 1000km though.

Just do places in Perth metro area for "repairs"... Not to run in the engine

Do a T67 with a 3" front cover and low mount it.

If you check Roy's for sale thread he has a TD06H-25G that uses a 3" front cover that is normally native to the 20G we get from Kando. Thats a GENUINE TRUST item...........

If trust used the 3" cover on a 25G wheel, it cant honestly be that much worse. Maybe need a psi or 2 extra to reach the same targets. Best of both worlds mate.

I guess roughly the same response if not a TINY bit better and an easy 300kw low mounted (stock mani) on 98.

    • 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.
