Where did you get the alternator from?

Marcus/Elrodeo 666. He is stripping his car so I'm raiding it :D. If you want one, contact him. It will be cheaper than anyone online ;)

That is a nice chunky alternator! Hope you can sort something out. Love to see what the fancy pantsy head can do!

And the cams. Duration ain't big... but they sound like monsters!!!

Finally got on the dyno yesterday after replacing my rear turbo core.

Spent about half an hour on there upto 5500 rpm. Little oil leak coming from the sandwich plate and the water thermostat doesn't look like Italy opening the whole way. It's a brand new OEM unit. FFS.

Yavuz was saying it's asking more much more fuel and it's very grunty low end. Sounds promising!!!

Sounds good Paul! Looking forward to the end result!

What did you end up doing for the other -5 ?

Put it on the wall with the busted gearbox, pistons, head and oil pump. Haha

What happened to the 6466?

Did I miss something?

I wanted a back to back with this head and cam combo. The 6466 is sitting out at Unigroup making sure the desk doesn't fly away.

Ok updated time.

312 at 5300 or so with absolutely no timing in it. Spent about 90 mins on the dyno getting loaded like a whore. Time for some kms. Oh and bed the brakes in :D

Just in from the first drive. About 250 kms all up. M7 up and down the gears, back to Unigroup then through the natio. The bloody thing was wet which didn't help anything. RWD and semi's made it difficult to load it up hills. Second was useless. It feels like it's getting stronger mad stronger. Not a drop of oil out of the breathers.

Tomorrow is more driving and somehow an alignment. The car is stupid low. I can't turn a corner without the rears scraping. Even loading it up a hill in 3rd and 4th rub. Shit low car!!!

    • 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.
