Yeah mate got one in the beast at the moment, they do feel significantly down on power but since the fj20et dont boost till late and the fj20e has a fair surge of power once you get over 3500rpm it still makes things interesting, oh and dont forget the fj20e sounds sooooo much better at full tilt (i have a 3in straight through exhaust + extractors), and thats all i wanted anyhow.

Yeah, mine is an NA FJ as well. Genuine DR30 RS. I can't wait until Xmas, when I put the snail on the side. :ph34r: CAMS won't let me use anything other than the factory turbo, so if anyone has any hints on how to make good torque with the factory setup and a NA engine, I'm all ears.

Oh, and the sound is glorious! My car has no sound deadener, no interior, no parcel shelf, no rear seats - nothing. It is just one big echo chamber for that exhaust note. With a helmet on, it is bliss. Without a helmet on, your ears bleed.

I have never driven a DR with a turbo, so I have nothing to compare it to. Can't wait though...

Yeah, I was figuring it would HAVE to sound better... FJ20ET's sound even worse than SR20's :D

So a 3 inch works ok?  Maybe I wont have to change to my pissy exhaust after all.....

I'll pretend you didn't even say that Adam...SR's and FJ's are to completly different sounds, an FJ sounds more L series...You have fun with your NA whilst we keep boosting around :D

My FJ was even more trucklike than an SR according to my friends... They may have been bullshitting me as I never heard it from outside, but thats how they described it

NA will be fun, and noisey :P

Fair rekon your friends need their hearing checked hey....

Ever thought of turboing the NA motor?????

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
