I'm pretty sure Caltex are contracted to roll out at least 100 pumps this year, should put a pump within reach of most of us soon. Why don't you run 2 maps like me, that way you can swap back to 98 anytime...

As Trent mentioned, we now have race fuel similar to c16 straight from the pump for around 1.10 per litre. The more demand for the fuel, the more pumps they will install.

I'm also wondering what the new carbon tax will do to prices...

Back on topic, I would love to install Garrett housings on the gt3071 with an external gate, I know HKS have managed to do it so although it will triple my fabrication time, it would be the better option. I'm still undecided.

I can run dual maps and load them up as needed but it means bigger injectors in both cars (possibly can get away with it in the R33) and a new fuel pump in the stagea.

Until the fuel is readily available it isn't practical. Richmond in NSW is about 35 minutes from home.

I have 4 servo's within 20k's and more around when I drive longer distances. It is obviously much more practical for me. Caltex just fitted a pump into the outlet just up the road from my Dyno, they must have planned it. :)

There isnt one even remotely close to me at this point in time. Maybe once Caltex rolls out some more this year things will look up - theres a number of Caltex servos within 10-15kms of my house; until then its BP98 for me!

There are externally gated housings for the GT3071.

Obviously, I just meant fitting it all in there with the external gate.

Perhaps a gtx3071 would be better so im not maxing it out, 560hp cartridge. Cihan wants at least that airflow with a 0.82 rear housing, im looking at the Tial for its compact size. Looks like mine is sold so time to get started...

Oops, just re-read your post Scott. I geddit now.

Looks like fun trying to shoehorn something in there.

I have acres of room in the R33 with a HKS manifold and external gate apart from having to massage the engine mount to clear the comp cover.

    • 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.
