If my life is for rent.and I don't learn to buy. Do I deserve nothing more than I get. For nothing I have is truly mine. (Dido)


The road I walk is paved in gold, to glorify my platinum soul. I am the closest thing to God, so worship me and never stop.


New engine

Def not running rich

Cams are mild

One of the injectors is ticking so most likely that's the culprit but I don't wanna upgrade to top feeds unless I'm sure.

Bit of a weird issue. Damn trouble shooting takes time. I pulled mine off the road for 2 months after I got it. Started misfiring and wouldn't start. New Fuel pump. Rewired immobiliser. Checked injectors. Replaced coil packs. Plugs. Cleaned throttle body and intake. Flushed intercooler. Cleaned acc valve. 2x different cat converters. New exhaust. Fixed split dump. Castor arm bushes and rack ends, new oil feed and return turbo. Box diff and eng oil. Chased and checked all wiring. Swaged and pressure tested all intercooler piping and re-welded Fitted catch can and washer bottle. New pc valve. Radiator and viscous coupling. Assuming immobiliser and coil packs were the problem. Did so much at once don't really know what was wrong. Got a bit of belt noise now when cold so hope it's not the timing belt. Has a whodowah whodowah noise at idle now like something is struggling.? Thinking maybe the vacuum lines aren't quite right. Would like to get one of you guys to sus it out. Vented to atmosphere before but catch can isn't pressurising the crankcase?

On recirculation before the turbo impeller.

I'm in rocky at 9 so probably won't have enough time to zoom back to midland by 11-12 plus only have the Prado atm

A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged with unlawful possession after police uncovered hundreds of avocados at his home in rural Australia.
The startling discovery was made on Thursday, when police searched a home in Renmark, South Australia.
Officers found a number of items suspected of having been stolen during break-ins throughout the Riverland region, including antique clocks, building insulation and a canoe.
But while the owners of those items have been identified, no-one has claimed the hundreds of avocados located at the same address

    • Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable 
    • I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue 
    • Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?
    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
