rev210,

I managed to beat that R34 last time, I think I got lucky though. You better be quick though, sounds like he has got a big turbo and race tyres on order.

I doubt that the S-AFC will get you to 12's or 113mph, but you could be the fastest stock-tubo GTS-t around.

See'ya:burnout:

Unless your using a shitload of Toluene, I can't see it making much difference unless you adjust your base timing. You should be able to run more advance with it in. But you weren't running full boost last time were you?

Maybe it's time for that FMIC?haha.

See'ya:burnout:

20% or so is all that will be necessary. 4L in 20L of fuel is quite an eye opener. I suggest you try it.

I think I'll buy some nice rims and tyres before the fmic, after all both those mods are about looks more than anything :lol:

I ran around 10psi last time, on the 13.4 run. Thats what I consider to be 'full' boost.

Rhino,

I know he was running only a FMIC and boost, putting out 208rwhp at the dyno, but he has ordered a big turbo etc, which should be going on soon. He's after big power, and he's got the money to do it.

Rev210,

I'll be keen to see the difference that the toluene makes to your times, if the difference is noticable then I may try it myself.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah, you can just buy it from the hardware store. rev210 has a place he uses, but most stores have it, works the same as an octane booster, but may provide more power aswell.

I'm planning on running the VP 103, but at $110 per 20 litres, it's only good for the drags.

Macka: dude most stores DON'T have it, I should know I've looked in just about all of them.

Makit Hardware in Balcatta next to marlows balcatta. bout $24 for the 4L tin. Compares nicely with the cost of VP 103 for smaller volumes and craps on it for octane and energy value, it's just not as 'green'.

It's well worth a try I have a litre in the fuel at the moment (20% mix) and it gives a good old kick.

I'm sure you will like the extra timing Macka.

Bringing two members together, I feel like a match maker.

Although Osc@r had problems with spiking I don't think this will be as bad on a stock turbo, I used one for a while and it seemed to do OK, but compared to an EBC they suck.

    • 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.
