hey gents.....

i have an auto det 33' and im having a new issue. had a little look around but wouldn't even know how to search for it......

when i put my put down the car will accelerate like a bastard for about 2-3 seconds then the acceleration slows down dramatically but the engine revs keep increasing....... then a couple seconds later the acceleration kicks back in again.....its frigging weird man.....

its hard too explain....

now im running full stainless bell mouth to cat. (there is a small gap where air is escaping on the cat join. compliance cat to 3 inch fuji something or other back box.

i also have a metal intake pipe. here's where it gets interesting. ive re-routed my blow by piping shit to hit a catch can then vent to air thru a breather.

now Ive taken my recirc valve pipe work and made up a hose that joins to the metal intake pipe nipple, that was meant to be used for the blow by shit, to my recirc valve.

now i had my bov blocked off before but because the car is auto it was causing it to stall. could the recirculation be hitting the afm and causing the afm /ecu to shit its self and cut fueling?

any ideas gents......

The recirc valve's return to the turbo inlet should be pointing toward the turbo. If it is aimed straight in at 90° to the pipe, or towards the AFM, then you may have stalling, farting etc troubles. But it should not cause the mid-accel problem that you report.

What management, what boost?

right.... now that was fine up until i did this... and doesnt the tourque convertor use the the recirculation pressure...... with me having a smaller hose on there could that be causing it...

yea ill chuck a pic up when i get a chance. cheers for all the input here fellas.

on another note the pcv only works on idle am i correct? so that wouldnt be causing this shit thats happening under accel....

im praying its not the torque converter. but im taking it to my auto guy in an hour so i guess ill find out!

so just shove something in the hose on the pcv?

or just go to bunnings and buy a stool leg cap, and cover it, alternatively you could unscrew it and find a bolt the same thread and just bolt it up shut

alright shittest drawing ever....... but this is basically how i have it set up..... no other way of doing it as my inlet pipe to turbo has only one connection (which i use for the bov)

i need to block the red pipe yes?post-70109-0-08603500-1349159619_thumb.jpeg

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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!

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
