So, this is a build out of necessity more than anything.

I bought this 94 JZZ30 as a clean daily driver with a bit of poke July last year, mostly stock with just a cat back and some silly big cannons out the back and a Boost-T thingo.

flash forward to Jan this year and a weapon of a hail storm ripped through Canberra and I ended up with a badly hail damaged car, So I still haven't had the old girl fixed yet, but hopefully by the end of the year she will be all shiny and new again.

So apart from servicing it and changing the wheels I had an interesting experience when the viscous fan exploded and took the radiator shroud out with it, luckily the radiator wasn't damaged and with Toyota wanting $500 just for the fan hub it now has a couple of thermo fans keeping it cool

I drove it around until a couple of weeks ago where I found a great deal on a HPI front mount kit, So I nabbed it and had it fitted in a couple of hours

Fitting was a breeze, with every nut/bot and bracket needed to fit straight up with no cutting, I highly recommend using the Jap brand kits for cars, and in fact this kit was cheaper than 99% of the China ebay kits.

Only down side to this kit is that the standard air box no longer fits, but HPI were kind enough to supply a pod filter and adapter with the kit (won't get that with ebay kits)

Now for the interesting bit.

Blew a turbo yesterday :( Which is a bummer because after a couple of months umming and ahhhing over what to do with the car, I had decided to keep it standard engine wise and throw a manual box up the middle and leave it at that.

The car had other ideas unfortunately

So what to do?

buy a set of unknown stockers and hope they last? Nah

High flow...Too expensive for what you get.

Big Single...YUP

But what to get?

the Short list was a Kando T67-25G which have proven themselves to make power a plenty, but long term reliability??? Its an unknown, and to me something needs to last 5 years to be classed as reliable.

A T78-33D popped up for sale on the forums here..My Original thought was it would be stupidly laggy. But the wonder of the interwebs led me to a few guys using the exact same turbo On 1JZ's and with reports of +ve pressure at around 3700rpm and full boost at 4500 on a stock 1J seemed of to me.

A Borg Warner Airwerks 83-75, Wouldve been great but with a 3 week wait on stock and me needing this car back on the road ASAP.

So I had a good thing about it, and decided that an old school style JDM Soarer would be different enough to satisfy the hipster in me, yet proven enough to not be walking into the unknown, as well as future proofing the car for the inevitable 3L high comp bottom end.

So While I'm waiting for bits and pieces including the turbo to turn up. I'm shaking my head at myself for grabbing this huge turbo, while still having the Standard ECU and injectors in the car...yes yes I know....but I'm not a silly bugger on the street and just cruise around, So I wont have results for a while about how this turbo goes on a stock 1J at full noise for a while until I sort out injectors and a Piggy Back ECU.

Anyway I'll find some more pics and through up over the next few days.

Cheers

Andrew

sucks because the rear turbo looks perfect, but there is a fair bit of ceramic dust so it would only be a matter of time before it let go as well.

Will update later today as its beer o'clock right now

Cheers

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
