I bought one from ssautocrome.

Plenty of support brackets and its seemed to have good quality welds etc.

No crap inside of the unit and I no trouble intalling it.

Has anyone else got one of these?

Cost me a little under 500 delivered with a split dup aswell.

Does anyone know much about this company at all.

my two cents.

they are all shit. thin wall 304 brittle shit. (in my opinion) i have witnessed many combos.

but they are "racing" items wich are ment to be replaced each season.

no intension to ofend anyone. :)

i had my ebay/xforce one ceramic coated in and out to keep the heat out of it.

all those gcg/ebay ect have runners way to big.

the jap ones are the same. for some reason they all use very big runners for max hp. they seem to forget that most of us only want 5-600hp.

on a 26 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" internal daiametre runners is perfect.

on a 20-25 1 1/4" would be perfect.

you have to rembember that the manifold isnt the restriction but the exhaust housing.

i only bought one because i couldnt be botherd to make another custom one.

i still have the scars on my hands.

but for 300 bucks you cant go wrong.

ps. whats with the chineese t4 pattern that is half way between t3 and t4? the ports line up but the bolt spacing is WAY off.

Well I noticed a crack on mine just 2 days ago.

Its right at the top of th manifold so I'm lucky it doesn't need to come off the car.(Very minor hiarline crack)

Engineering workshop said it will be a peice of cake to fix using a tig.

When I get a new turbo some time next year I think I'll take the advice from T04GTR and get it ceramic coated in and out wile the turbo is off.

      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!

      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.
