Hey guys, i just replaced my standard rb20 injectors with gtr ones, had to take 35% off the overall fuel trim on the wolf 3d so it wouldnt blow clouds of black smoke, the af ratio on the apexi turbo timer reads 13-1 with a 4000rpm jab of the gas, dont no how acurate it is but. Would you just drive it nice and easy to the dyno or pay the $150 to put it on a tow truck, thanks.

If it starts and runs, and seems to drive o/k, then driving it will not do any damage AT SMALL THROTTLE OPENINGS.

If it is dangerously out of tune, you will know because of the stalling, hesitations, missing, or jerkiness, and it will let you know something is desperately wrong. But even then it will not damage the motor unless you really thrash it.

It is like running out of petrol. The car coughs a bit and stops. You don't melt pistons, break rings, or burn valves just because you run out of petrol.

Take it real easy, and it will be fine.

i would drive it

BUT - keep it off boost. I had to do the same sort of thing when i changed my afm's and injectors, amongst other things. Added enough fuel so it idled and ran, but i kept way off boost. God knows what would have happened with an untuned pfc, larger injectors and some boost

thanks guys, as this was replied to again i thought id let you no that it drove fine. when the turbo started to spool it was blowing a bit of black smoke so i took a fraction more fuel out and just drove it nice and easy.

    • 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
    • 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)?
    • 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.
