Well that problem was there in the first full tune when I swapped to PowerFC from Nistune, I asked them to fix it this time, it was only a touch-up tune and 'massaging' it in this time after the exhaust fix, nothing major. Its definitely a 3-4sec major power drop with downshifting, sounds tune related aye?

Well it's a result of the ecu doing something dumb, which it determines by how it is tuned. So yes, it is tune related.

I would be cranking some more preload on the actuator. They wouldn't do it while tuning due to the heat around the manifold and turbo scaring them away, but letting it cool on the dyno to try it out would have been cheaper than another tune.

Do you have a boost controller?

If not, what spring do you have in the wastegate?

Only other thing could be the smaller turbine housing (maybe it needs a .8?), but I dont know alot about the precision turbos so I'm not even sure what size the turbo is lol. Anyway if no boost controller then that might improve it, if it alread has a boost controller then it might need some adjusting due to the change in exhaust flow

Boost drop is easily answered. Reduced back pressure in total means less restriction all the way back to the inlet and less boost required for a given amount of flow. Choke off the exhaust again and the back pressure will report back to the intake side at high revs again and Bob's your older male relative....less boost drop off at high flow.

Oh that explains it then..4psi drop is a bit much though.. Yes I have a turbosmart T controller off gate and other end connected to nipple in compressor housing, 18psi spring in wastegate so not lacking in that department. One nipple on the top of the gate is unconnected though?

Cheers-mite be my next mod- will any ebay electronic boost controller like cheap china hdi do or only apexi avcr/ greedy profec spec 2 etc? Hope touch up tune wont be required as its already tuned to 22psi- Im about sick of all this tuning which isnt leading anywhere much.. :(

Yeah better way to do it, holding boost on top and bottom then bleeding the top pressure off. Id say the boost control is the issue with the boost tapering off up top but still doesnt explain the hesitation when downshifting

How's your intake ? 3 inch all the way and free flowing as Tao from hypergear has tested at 250kw there is a difference of 13kw going from 2.5 inch intake to 3inch

Also .63 rear housing may becoming at restriction on a 6cylinder and that power level and boost

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
