Sorry i havent used any of the workshops here so cant help. If that is the way you want to go get them to get the car running and if you have money left over do the service, if not the collective minds here can do it easy. If its moving it will make easier to get to someones place/w/shop for a meet up.

Ok, got a bad vibe from Auto Italia and all-star are booked out for at least 2 weeks, I ended out booking JPC in oz park for next Monday. How exciting!! :) I'll keep u guys posted with what the issue ends out being. Otherwise WhightNight27, what should I look for with the pump? Or your welcome to have a bash sometime if your keen, Im pretty sure Boss inspected it so maybe the fuel filters blocked. I don't nooo.

Peace.

Why dont u change ur fuel filter could be blocked but not think it would cause that much trouble unless its 95% blocked. witch it could be if its never been changed.

Its not hard to change and not cost much for the filter ether.

Think i remb u saying that u could not hear the pump prime any more or it was quieter.

First i would see if u can hear it. if so then remove the rubber hose from the fuel rail and see if its getting fuel up to the rail.

If that's ok then do what t revz said crimping the return fuel hose to add fuel pressure.

any how hope u get it sorted

Hey guys, fitted my new oil filter but couldn't work out which hose is the fuel hose on the injector rail. Can anyone describe where it is or tell me what page of the manual it's on? Much appreciated. Also, as far as crimping the return hose, that's located under the duel pumps inspection cover in the boot, correct?

I wanna have one last go and anyone else is welcome before it goes in on Monday.

Ta people.

the hose coming out of the fuel filter is the feed from the pump.

the hose coming off the fuel reg is the return, crimp it slightly anywhere after the reg to up the pressure.

No good guys, no good at all..... Turns out the ecu wasn't plugged in and switched on properly(?!) and the fuel was off(half tank that had apparently sat for 4 months before I purchased plus fresh half tank plus injector cleaner).

Big problem its got a big end rattle. Apparently this means a 10-12k rebuild or 6-8k engine swap. Does anyone have any suggestions other than sell the car? :( I think you went through this Nak, what's the dealio?

Cheers.

A sad Jesse.

Cheers boys,

Is everyone in agreement about price? 6k for an r33 engine? Seems.... Extensive..?

Talk to Steve May as I reckon it will be well cheaper than 6k.

There will probably be a bunch of stuff that you should do before you put it in for peace of mind though, I would be inclined to do timing belt/tensioner/idler/waterpump and all the vacuum hoses.

You probably sell the current engine to recoup some of the costs too.

Cheers for all the help guys.

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

      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!
