Definitely. You can really feel the difference, even without doing some serious twisties. I'll get a better idea this weekend on the SA cruise.

I like it the way it is, which makes me wonder if I should sacrifice it for the benefit of having the plenum spacer. Not in any hurry.

if you get the 1000cc injectors you wont need the spacer lol.

the only reason i did the space was so i could fit injectors under there.

Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

What's different about the 1000cc injectors that I won't need the spacer if you did?

well scott found the 1000cc that he bought are the same height as our standard ones.

where as the deka 610cc were taller, hence the need for a spacer.

as iain said. i'd go the strut brace over the spacer.. especially when the 1000cc injectors scott got werent too much more expensive. plus it looks like ill be going bigger injectors soon. Cihan said mine are already at 80%, and i dont think im at max power yet

Yeah I'll have to get on that soon I think. I'll PM Scotty when I'm ready.

Dunc went straight to 1000cc, he should be experimenting for me. Wahlbro, 1000cc injectors and emanage tuned with Willall.

Strut brace is a Dolphin one from YAJ through Streeter.

You can check it out Sunday if you're coming.

I'll see how I go. The stagea won't be ready so might have to pull the cover off the 180sx and take it for a spin to meet up for a look.

Worth it. Do it. I turned up to the last one even though my M35 was still getting the exhaust done... hitched a ride. Good times...

You may be up for a road trip like all the other guys, I don't know of any tuners in the country (other than Cihan, Etuner) that would tune the emanage ultimate on our car. If you did find someone they would have a steep learning curve to iron out all the problems, Cihan has tuned my car many times over the last 2 years and has learnt all the tricks to our ecu already. Why dont you all get together for a roadtrip? :whistling:

The injectors need to be fitted when the emanage gets installed. Speak to Jetwreck for the turbo install.

And when Scott says talk to Jetwreck about the turbo install - don't let him tell you anything except pull the engine and do it the easy way...

I think he almost lost a few teeth and got coolant/oil in his eye the last time he did a turbo install engine-in :pirate:

i can do the turbo myself thats all good just wanted to know who did the tuning basically once all the upgrades were done............... would be nice to get it checked right now to see how she's running but if its an interstate hike than thats a bit of a drama.

might be intesting to chuck it on the dyno and get some readings also!!! could do that here in sydney and then send Cihan an email and see if its running safely.........

just hope my turbo holds up for quite some time then :D

Wagon Boy: I have a guy in Sydney installing and tuning my e-manage. Send me a PM or email and I can send through his details.

Should have mine installed and tuned in a few weeks. Just having a new suction pipe made and the transmission worked on.

      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

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
