    Installed FMIC now overboosting

    one wonders if your stock bov was connected wrong and causing a leak. A bpu 1jz its fairly common to overboost to fuel cut when cooler outside.

    v160

    it all depends on your goals, sub 700whp the r154 is fine, but above that I think investing in the 6spd maybe the way to go. I'm just not sure the r154 will handle the abuse that well.

    My new car!

    it was right off i78 i think, on avenue b. jay, haha yea.. even though its a 4 cyl its not the best on gas.. that and the turbo spools faster then even the stock jz twins! this thing seems to always want to boost. On the way home I got 23-25 mpg, but at 80MPH its reving like 3800 rpm.. Its...

    My new car!

    haha yea, even being pretty much stock (just the exhaust) its fairly quick, has a little kick to it. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. The stock drivetrain is pretty strong actually. I havn't heard of anyone really breaking anything. There is a 10 second alltrac in south FL, with a stock trans...

    turbo Flow vs. PSI

    But you're not changing the pressure by changing the wheel, you change the amount it blows (rpm). When trying to get the most hp out of it, you're trying to get it to flow the most it can, so you increase rpm by closing the wastegate and flowing as much exhaust as you can through the turbine...

    v160

    waste of time? its known to handle 1200+whp while being drag raced, thats hardly a waste of time.

    Who'd be interested in having their 1JZ head CNC ported?

    you can improve flow by cleaning up material and smoothing it out... but eventually you will run into the restriction of the valves. Of course bigger will flow more, but not to say stock valves cant flow more. I have a spare 1jz head you guys can play around on if you decide to try to come up...

    turbo Flow vs. PSI

    dont forget to look at the exhaust side of the turbo, everyone gets caught up in the compressor side. The air in has to flow through the back side too.. Bigger turbine = less backpressure and more flow. But less response comes with that. a 3.2L supercharge will flow more air then a 2.8L...
