WTF???? this was half way down the list, i usually find it in the top 5 posts. Although most people prob have a life on weekends, as i know you people sit at work waiting for someone to post.
Well i got my tacho working today (as the old motor ran 12V and the new one runs 5V tacho line). i am boosting at about 3-3500prm which i thought was crap for twins? whats the point in having 2 then?
Also the revs are still dodgy, if it was a leak wouldn't it always be low? whereas mine always idles nice for about 20 secs then drops?

That colour is very nice, i thought it was the typical nissan orange with a poor light shot. The red suits the z2 very nicely.

Yeah I agree, the 1g has defiantly a tough note, better then any Nissans, and the wine of the turbos is just icing on the cake...
PS: I have a set of perfect Gen 2 turbos for sale if u want them Merudo....PM if u r interested.
That red soarer looks like sh*t, no offence to anyone

hey guys, those of you who have the 1j in yours soarer's i was just wondering what size turbo(s) you are running, that question is aimed more at anyone with a single turbo setup. I finally got my microtech fitted and tuned on friday although we could only tune so far as the HKS EVC boost controller i have requires some research on how to use it as we couldn't go past 15psi which i managed to get 245.9 rkw so really wanna see what can be acheived when we work out how to adjust the boost higher with the controller i have. Anyway back to the original question on turbo's, i have a big TD07 but with that comes some big lag. I'm really weighing up the idea of actaully downsizing a little so trying get some idea of whats a good turbo on a 1j for street use as oppossed to the drag setup i bought my car with. Also if there's anyone who may be interested in a a TD07 turbo in good nik i may well be selling soon depending on what i end up doing.

That's about it I think. The brake pad size is the same on JZA70/MA70 and GZ20/MZ20, so I am asuuming the rotors is the main change.

Yep as far as i was aware the z20s and ma70s all share the same caliper and pads, but the ma70s have a 300mm disk, the z20s a 290ish? I wasn't sure if the jza70 calipers had been beefed up to compensate for the beefier motor. Be nice if they had, would have made a very simple upgrade for all the z20 owners out there.

Nah, he didn't seem to have any hassles with the microtech, he knows those probably better than most ecu's but don't really know any of his tricks. The only problem we had was with knowing how to use the hks evc boost controller as it's almost like a little ecu in itself to control the boost but looked up some instructions on the net which i'll be taking with me on thurs when she goes back on the dyno.
So what about you other 1j drivers, what turbo setups are you running pls, how's the lag sitch on them?

so its only the bigger rotors that are the difference , and according the mr 1j they only help in dissipating more heat so do i really nee to change them is it neccesarry as im looking at 150kw mark

Actually...no. You are wrong.
The 1MZ sounds a shitload worse than a 1UZ, because it's a V6, and Alfa's aside, most of them sound shit.
Now the 1G and 1JZ have the same inline six configuration, and the 1G just sounds better. Less jet like for sure, more guttural.

yeah ivee seen some tough sounding soarers and the gz20 are the pik of the lot , the 1j sounds likeany other import with a canon stuck in the arse end
ive also seen a ga70 supra that sounded like a vaccum cleaner had a 3 inch greddy exhaust with a 6 inch oval tip loll
so i reckon canon is need for the 1g to sound tough
blk 1g-gte post a sound file of ur soarer its FCUKING TOUGH As
come on do it matey

question
if the oil im using is too thin and a seal is worn / rings are worn or something could it be the reason why my car is smoking as much as it is??
like, cause ive only just started using 10w30 not long before this happened, and i put a bit more the night around an hour before this happened, so if i drained the oil and put GTX3 back in with a new filter (thats what i was using before, its a fair bit thicker than 10w30 honda oil) then could my problem go away?
or am i dreaming?
I was just thinking if the oil is too thin and ive got a problem then that could be it, couldnt it?
PS: i am most likely completely wrong

I have heard of someone using thin oil and screwing bearings. So it's possible!?
Have you located where the oil is leaking from?

Theres a possible cause that the oil was too thin and ur rings/seals were stuffed which caused th oil to rise up the seals and get blown out the crankcase breather which is connected in the middle of the two turbos so the oil would have travelled into the afm and out somewhere there , which is why u haven’t seen any leak cause it haoppening inside the intake piping , maybe remove the afm and all and have a proper look

Anything is possible, there is always the possibility of a blocked up turbo return line, I'd imagine backing up against the turbo seals would cause an issue that could end up around the intake.

ahaaaa see i just replied to ur previous post and u just confirmed it , yeah oil will also come out the airfilter if its too bad ive got that happening a tiny bit in mine , will be fitting an oil catch can soon
btw ur cooler might be full of oil as well
remove the hose that joins in between where the two turbo intake pipes meet and see if theres oil in there

there is oil in there
should i run some engine oil flush through and drop the oil then?
replace the filter, put GTX3 back in, and see how i travel from there?
can i just unbolt and remove the intercooler and tip any oil that is in there out?

secondly if there's any blocked oil return lines can i take them off and clean them myself? taking the heat shield off and removing all that piping doesnt phase me, i just want to know if i'll have to be taking things off that will require new gaskets to be reinstalled so that i can purchase said gaskets before i do anything
the car is only producing half the boost it normally does, and i really dont want to drive it anywhere in its current status

there will always be a little oil in there but if tis dripping like a wet pussy then its no good
all the oil that is there is come from inside the engine because of blowby (someone correct me if im wrong) and if thats the case then ur rings , oil seals, etc are fubarged
it could also be u filled toomuch oil in the engine if thats the case ur valley will also be full of oil and ur spark plugs will be fouled (car will idle like shite --- take plugs ou and clean with kero and put em back) ur afm will have oil in it so will the air filter
also intercooler is going to be hard to get out if the front bar isnt taken off pour kero in the cooler and drain / flush until clean
good luck man

start car and pull the crankcase breather out and rev it and see if any oil is coming out throught there if there isnt much then its prob one or both the turbos have died seals have given way and oil is coming out and going into the intake and getting burnt

Check your compression Melrudo, should be about 160psi, from memory...If the comp is fine then the engine should be from what you have said...If u got time take of the front turbo pipe, and see how much play the front turbo has...you will have to take of the dizzy for this so make sure the flywheel is at TDC, and mark the rotor position. If its not boosting, could it be the actuators??? <- am not sure here. I can't think of anything else...
As for the sound file, yeah i can do that if u like, just don't know how u post sound files??

It's boosting, but only to half of what it should be. leads me to believe one turbo is fubar'd.
(speculation)
There's a high pitch metal noise ive brought up a few times now, its there nearly all the time now (read: at idle too)
goes away when acceleration is applied.
i just want it to last until 1JZ
How do I check how much play I have in the turbos? by play do you just mean how much the compressor wheel moves side to side, or what? (unsure)
additionally if what justcallmefrank said is true, how can i remedy that problem? or is the damage likely done already?
Methinks i need to get rid of this oil poste-haste and put something thicker in...

Rossco - pics of ur car man! looks awesome. . .
And in someones avatar it looks like their soarer has scissor doors ?!?!?!!?!?!? is that photoshopped or for real???? Id be up for a group buy for those hinges!!!
I have run my car with just the dump and no exhaust - sounds fucking cool IMHO. Its a bit high pitched and sounds a bit milo-canish at idle, but at about 3500rpm all u can hear is roar and turbo! Its pretty loud, but not as bad as u would think for a car without an axhaust
Btw, the 1G is BY FAR the best sounding 2L motor EVER. . . . mine has a 2.5" catback with gutted cat and sounds pretty good id say, quiet at 100km/h and has a roar (it sounds like its coming from the motor, not the exhaust, difficult to explain) when being driven hard. Then of course is the turbo whine - nothing like it!
Btw if u wanna talk about nice sounding sixes, then its the VG30. . .wicked 1jz and 2jz get passing grades too.

i am sure most of you have hear this file but if you want to hear the 1G on just a dump go here.
http://users.tpg.com.au/phiele01/
this is my car on the dump after the conversion, sorry i didn't hit it too hard but it was dam loud at the time. the second movie is then with it hooked up to the 2 1/2 exhaust.
Also where would i find the oil pressure pickup and is it easy to change? I think mine is unwell
And finally to those with 1G TT's. How the hell do you wire the boost controller. those vac lines look a down right pain in the ass to pull off and put on.

You can only really take out the airbox and pipe from from airbox to T piece to make it easier.

anyone been under a z2* to see if there is any room to run a true duel exhaust to seperate sides of the car.
I have a true dual, but it ends up on the same side of the car is massif rice cannons.
It needs to be fixed.

twin exhausts look nice on the Z30

"Proper" twin exhausts look pimp, but alas, you'd have no hope of fitting them if the spare tyre well is in the way.

Couple O things,
FARQ! I turn my head for a moment and we're int he low 50's - Awesome.
Second, dunno bout the later series, but i was gawping under my z12 and the fuel tank ruins any chance of running true twin zorsts. I even doubt twin untrue zorsts would work, it would just be silly. The only way I can think of would be the 350z style ones where the main exhaust goes into that one muffler with two pipes leadings opposite directions out of the muffler to the edge of the rear skirt. If that made any sense to you - well done
Thirdly, dunno bout you hotdoggers out there wit' yer harrier jet loud exhausts, when i had my first 6m in there I was more than happy with a wisper quiet car. Dunno what the grease monkey did, or maybe its just the newer engine, but the current 6m is just a delicious note, not to loud, not to sharp, just one content burrring note.
Good to hear about the costing Cruz, still trying to get a better idea of prices before i jump both feet in. I did check out Enders 1jz and auto for sale. 1500, plus shipping down to mexico, and then the fact that i prob wont use the autobox anyway. im looking at about 2g for a 1jz with parts i wont need. Wonder if hell seperate with just the engine mounts?
On that note, Cruz and others - engine mounts yes, what other things am i going to need machined/customed?
the drift paint job on the soarer... i dunno, was it a Matte paint job, looked a bit shiny to me..
