Sorry to hear Brendan. Good luck dude. If you need a decent low k motor there is one up at the moment that I was thinking of buying but your needs are greater... Stagea WA page on Facebook about a week ago.

I should be alright. I drove it back home from the plex so hopefully I can just gone and re ring it. I still have the original motor here too so worst case I just build up another short block.

Hi Brandon, any updates or are you taking a break from it for a while? (That's what I do when this happens to me!)

It's up on jacks and I've almost got the rad support off. Just plodding along with it when I feel like, no motivation haha

Might have missed it, but what is the ecu situation in the car?

Itsrom flash tune, tuned for 18psi. Saw a peak reading of 18.7 on boost controller so it's most likely leaned out over the quarter mile. 

Got one head off to look at number 6. It's definitely gone lean, you can just see some detonation on the crown of the piston and at the very top of the bore. Then it's just scraped away at the bore and likely the piston skirt. 

I might be able to plate hone it out to the limit but I think it may have been pretty close when I originally honed it.

Eww. Looks like the rings have picked up bits of the piston edge as its burnt away there... The bore might clean up but that piston is fubar... Fingers crossed for the bore! 

I wouldn't have thought it would lean out that badly at 18psi... What fuel pump do you have? I only ask as I recently received a genuine Walbro from a verified seller... It was a fake. Fine for an excel but not for a thirsty birch like our Stageas! Looked very close but had the cheap plastic vanes instead of the metal pump gears.

Stock pump still. Christian asked me what pump I was running when I was looking at his flash tune at the time, but it seems we missed out relaying that info to each other.

Note to self, stock pump is no good for 18psi.

    • 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.
