The garret int gate (gt30-gt35) housings suffer a tad boost creep. The balancing of dump and wastegate pipe size is what makes or breaks a setup. An open mouth dump with these turbo's = boost creep, anything less than a 2" wastegate pipe when paired with a 3" dump = boost creep. Then there's the enlarging of wastegate flap size which does work well but requires a strong wastegate spring to prevent the flap being blown open due to back pressure within the scroll.

The HKS ProS housings run a large flap that does get blown open even with stiff actuators.

Rework the dump pipe, reduce the size of the wastegate pipe. Make it harder for the exhaust gas to flow out of that wastegate.

I've never seen it done but there's no reason why it wouldn't work it works int he opposite circumstance - boost creep.

Kinda off topic I know, but what was your MPH with those runs? Just wondering, as I'd expect 265rwkw to be around the 115mph mark?

113 mph - the best run was with track temps in high 40's, 35 degree day of all things. There is definately is more in it in tuning and boost level/control wise but I'm a bit sceptical on the bottom end holding up - I hate listening to them on a dyno pull.

Currently it's only got the 15 psi wastegate spring - even though it's a 15 psi spring as you start to make boost even 10 psi the wastegate feed will be weakening the spring tension allowing the wategate to blow open eventually. That's why a bleed style boost control and a 20 psi spring should make a difference.

270rkw, hi-flow and the supporting mods...suspension blah blah

18psi @ just a tad over 3000rpm and holds stong to redline. Who is gonna complain about that.

btw 15psi and 18psi much f**k all difference with a high flow in terms of power....however watch ur mid range torque go through the roof.

Makes sense but I'd hate to re-work this! I'll try a few other things first.

    • 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.
