just out of curiosity.....

i am looking at a cooler from a local company who would move the throttle body on my plenum from the centre to the end, what sort of effect owuld this have on performance, if any at all. its basically now like a gtr plenum cept for the welding etc.... i assume that any power lost form this would be made up due to less pipes and bends ???

The problem with that is that will not know how even the distribution will be of the plenum once you done this. They were designed for the inlet to be centralised....so moving it to the front could have detrimental effects to your engine such as running lean in certain cylinders.

the intercooler guy,

when exactly in may are you opening up in melbourne? Also where will the shop/showroom be? Man these kits look unreal have you got any inlet/outlet temps and pressure drop for both the ICG intercooler and the force one. Also you stated that your IC is 800*300*76 is this just the core? if so how long endtank to endtank. What is the core size of the force one? Thinkin i'll go with the force one as i'd prefer the lighter tube and fin design.

cheers,

Rom.

Hi pinoi_boi_r33

1. The official opening date of the Melbourne shop is still up in the air, however, we will keep you all up to date when the date draws near.

2. We have spent many an hour on R&D, subequently, we have recorded temp drops of close to 100c^. As for pressure drop, the region is close to 0.18 @16psi

3. The ICG cores measure 600x300x76 size. Similarly, the Force core also measures 600x300x76. And as you have stated, Force use a tube and fin design which is fantastic. Accordingly, at the end of the day it's up to the consumer.

Look out for a full page Ad in the May issue of FastFours when we officially launch the brand 'ICG'.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
