To be honest, ive melted plugs with the tune shaun had done at boostworx. I had alot of damage done to my bottom end once the head was taken off, i was told my car was leaning out. Car wont be going too boostworx ever again.

Hmmm never ever had trouble with Shaun's tunes on any of my cars ! Current tune is not done by him but many others have been . It's a funny thing I had a tune done on vz ssz by a workshop here in sa that so many ppl on sau rant and rave about, but even though it made good power it was detonating that bad on decel when throttle was snapped off it cost me a head gasket , and the big old dinosaur engines are there speciality

Cool, let us know how the new tune goes anyway, and if you have any back to idle problems with cams/nistune

All right looking at sun April 28th gives every one three weeks to get organised " including my self " so spread the word lets see of we can get a good turn out the best we have had in the last couple of years is 22 at a start point. soooo I see so many tissue boxses around these days lets get on it !

Might be interested in popping in to say hi - not keen on cruise - maybe just the start point or lunch depending on what is where, hopefully getting car back from 2 months off the road due to crash and an oil pressure problem - plus on the Monday I will be doing a 2500km trip up to near the NT border so I dont want any last minute issues before then.

    • 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.
