Looks good champ!! What turbo is that that's on it?? Lack of AFM as well, aftermarket ecu???

Its a TO4E

make 15 pounds by about 3500 its pretty decent.

Its got a Motec M4 ECU

Was this car sold on ebay recently? in adelaide?

It was on ebay, but wasn't sold there..

Yeah thats the one that was for sale up at Lonsdale SA isnt it.

Car was also on eBay.

I went up and had a look at it where the guy was selling it, looked nice.

Nice buy!

Cheers.

IM pretty happy, althouth it wasn't as healthy as i thought when i bought it.

thats the one

thats awesome! does it hae a bit of history or is it just painted like the PJ cars?

Its close th the PJ colours, but thats only because he did it.

NO history that i know of. But by the amounts of work/parts on it i may have a had a bit of a history in Japan.

that guy had 2 for sale when i went to have a look he wasent a very good salesman he told me straight up there was no way i would get the ex race one with the rollcage through regency thats a real great sales pich

I had a quick look at that DR when it was plain white, I remember following it up the road one day & it didn't seem to be running so well (very rich & not pulling that hard).

Hopefully you've got it running sweeter now. It's interesting that it's got a MoTec, their not that common in the aftermarket in Japan.

HKS once made a TO4E kit for FJ20ET's , it ued a high rear mount T4 flanged manifold with a small external gate underneath it . The turbos exhaust housing was a HKS special and quite small ie .4x ish AR ratio so that you could get same day boost response . Not positive but I think the turbine was an "O" trim meaning mid trim T4 . Really stretching the memory banks but I believe the comp cover was .50 AR TO4E . For their day they had far greater potential than the std T3 but better things are available now . A GT3037 with the smaller 52 trim compressor would be more responsive and if the integral gate T3 flanged exhaust housing due any day now was used with the std DR30 manifold it goes bolt . The real GT30R which is just the big comp trim GT3037 would be Ok and no less laggy than the dinosaur bush/plate bearing TO4E .

Cheers .

its still not tuned 100% we realised it had a leaky head gasket on the dyno, got a cometic one fitted now.

just put a new clutch in it, changing the diff and it will be back on the dyno.

Yes DP03 .48 rear i think, works fairly well i reckon makes full boost (15 psi) by 3500 and im confedent it will make over 200kws this time round.. (made 170 with a fair few issues last time)

As you said this turbo is less laggy than my old T3 on my other FJ..

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
