Oh hey guise :action-smiley-069:

Just a suggestion but the tuner could have set rev limit to hard cut at 2000 which would have made it easier to diagnose

They may have done this, I'm not sure how they found it in the end, I went in to give them a hand on Friday and they had already found the problem and sorted it out. Just kept me in the dark about it, they must like suspense almost as much as me ;)

I'll post pictures hopefully later today guys, pictures are worth a thousand words...

Well... Sort of. Not really. I can't for the life of me understand what happened. I certainly didn't do it. But I can't see how my workshop would have done it either.

Will make more sense when I post photos. Which I can't do yet because I haven't got the car back yet :glare:

Explain the hole. Could this have damaged a valve or stick a valve open?

Possibly, I imagine when you shatter a cast alloy manifold like that there will be some debris. But I don't know which cylinder the valve problem is on, if it is only cylinder 1 then I imagine the shattered manifold was the cause.

I'm just waiting for my tuner to add up how much I owe them and then I'm going in to get the car home, so I'll post photos in a few hours.

IE could it have created debris that the motor could have ingested on its maiden limiter bash?

Again, quite possible. Thing is, I would expect that shards of cast alloy getting stuck in the valve guides would cause more of a permanent problem than just on full load power runs, ie. bent valves?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
