Its at all performance garage getting fab work done, heres some pics off his fb page. Change of plan on the tune as well going to be tuned at efi and going all out with a vipec or haltech not sure which yet but will speak to the tuner and pick one.

Wow looking awesome! And man yeah, that setup with a ViPEC would be pretty much getting into my perfect road car territory :D (possible with AWD, as even then traction loss would be a thing haha).

Cheers for the update :)

A bit of a update, still slowly coming along, southport exhaust done a absolute shit job and charged a arm and a leg for it so thats had to be fixed up. On a positive note santa wasn't to bad and left a nitto cam gear cover, cusco brake stopper, nismo clutch bracket and a haltech plug in, also got a puppy rottweiler.

Gonna paint the bay? That chassis rail also looks a bit worse for wear. Gonna give the car some love or is it all engine?

Never been one for the show and shine side of things, car is being built for bulk skids not for picking up 16yo that like shiny things

That exhaust looks mint (as well as all the other fabrication), but I gotta ask, why no screamer? :P Haha. I'm sure it wouldn't be too loud lol.

Car looks great, going to be an epic street car, can't wait to hear it.

What happened to the gold cam covers?

Cheers mate, the wastegate pipe can be shifted to the left and i have a blanking plate for the vband on the dump pipe so can have the option of a screamer. Still have the gold cam covers but had these ones on while everything was being fitted up. Having dramas with removing the comp cover off the turbo. The fabricator is being a c*nt too and wants nothing to do with it which makes me think he's done something to it when welding the elbow on. One thing after another with this car. 3 workshops ive had dramas with now since building this car.

Which fabrication place is giving you troubles?

Mick from apg, his work looks good from a distance but so much was missed and he said he ran out of time but he had the car for 7 weeks, no beads on the end of cooler piping, no bracket for the oil catch can just jammed in between the headlight assembly and fuse box, fittings not welded on that i asked for. Too top it off i waited 2hrs on the day i told him to pick it up because he slept in then said i never told him i was going to be there, it was a Wednesday at 10 30 when he turned up too. He's not bad on the welder just a brain dead c*nt

So it lines up his intercooler pipe work like the first pic on this page. I don't know but thanks for the clarification on who you were talking about.

It's hard to find places that do quality work, on time for a good price. Never hard to find someone who will take ur money though lol.

Can i ask why ya trying to rotate the comp housing mate?

He left the core with the oil drain facing up, so thats not going to work. We tried to unbolt the comp cover to spin the core but its that tight it wont move. Mick told me the original o ring was split so he replaced it. I asked him what he did to it and he takes no responsibility which makes me think he's done something to it.

Took the turbo to mta on the gold coast and he removed the comp cover and showed me the o ring that the smoker fitted, was too big which jammed it tight also the wrong type which would have perished, another set back now waiting for the correct o ring from merica. Sick of paying brain dead c*nts when they obviously aren't up to the task

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      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.
