Time has come for me to thank all the people that have helped get my baby back on the road .... im sorry to waste everyone elses time with this thread but i thought that these people just have to be acknowledged. People that have ever tried to work on my car know that she is grumpy, stubborn, hard to get along with and no matter what you want her to do she'll do the opposite ..... basically she is very much like her owner.... and im not lying my car constantly proves herself to be an absolute bitch to work on.

Firstly Steve ..... thanks for housing my car for a couple of months, using your manpower, tools and expertise.

Jeff ..... for having the patience to do those shitty jobs that paul palms off onto you pretending to know nothing.

Ant ..... for doing what you do best .... getting the heart beating again :)

Lastly Paul ...... who even tho the car is working is still putting aside his much needed time to do the finishing touches ... trying his best to have it completely perfecto .... when he really should be doing his own car for D/C. :cuddle:

You've all put up with my whinging and have put so much time n effort into getting my car back on the road ..... a big huge THANKYOU :grouphug:

well car was spending a bit of time at SST before engine went bang ..... mainly due to me doing things a little backward in modification wise .... a phucked fuel pump which was replaced but too late .... a restrictive exhaust which was replaced too but probably too late and a mad woman driver.

Before the big bang:

Blitz EBC (Paul installed)

Bosch Fuel Pump = 211rwhp

SAFC II

3in Zorst

Airpod = 246rwhp

*insert big bang in here .... happened my first run down the drags*

Now:

Forged Pistons

Dump pipes = 209rwhp LOL reason for this is because they havent tuned it yet no point til FMIC comes in.

Next week:

FMIC = hoping for about 280rwhp

Near future:

Big arse auto trans cooler

Hiflow Turbo = ultimate goal 350rwhp.

there ya go :) will keep ya updated.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
