Good job Mark. I'm still having some issues with the afr's not staying consistent. I don't know if it will always fluxuate so much or not. I took the irridiums out and put the ngk 6097's back in. I couldn't make the irridiums work under high boost. I wonder if I could call them and have them gap me a set at .022 and send them to me so I wouldn't hav to gap them myself?

George and I are going to try and clean the cars up this weekend so I'll get some pictures although the car looks identical. I haven't changed anything about the appearance. I do like taking pictures of it though.

Mark, luckily for you, I don't have your number any more. My phone cracked and I can't see the numbers in my old phone. I have a new one now, but I have to take it to a Tmobile store not too far from here so they can get all of my numbers off of it.

Thanks Kristel, and I must say your boobies are looking as perky as ever...........:naughty:

I'm about to put 6097's back in, my iridiums break up too. I know that it's due to incorrect gap, but I couldn't get them set right since I couldn't touch the electrode. I'd buy another set if I could get them gapped at .025ish.....

Not to worry, I'm on the 1.5jz war path, so I'll end up on your bad side due to calling so much...:sarcasm:

I come from a land down under
Always had a stumble around Tq peak at high boost with IR's no matter how small I set the gaps.
(I cheated a little and gave it some more advance around that zone and this helped but didn't cure it 100%)

I know what you mean. Iridiums aren't the cure for a poor tune...

IJ, what plugs are you running? I have the 6097's and they seem to work o.k., but if there is one out there better, then I want that one. Thanks.

My car tore up on me at the Texas meet, so I'll have to go back and start over. I think I may have a broke piston. Either way, it'll have to be rebuilt.

It was rebuilt by a local machineshop, but undoubtedly something wasn't right. It only has 2400 miles on it including the trip to Texas and back. I won't know what happened until I take it apart later on. Aaron thinks I could have broke a piston. All I do know is that it sucks to have beautiful weather out and not be able to drive my car. I'm thinking about waiting until I have enough money and going ahead and building a 2jz head for it. I'll let you know more about it once I do.

I'm so sorry to hear about this Jay.

Too many booobies distracted him during the build :(.
That's a bummer Jay. Eh...I'm sure you will throw in a full 2JZ this time around. Things ALWAYS happen for a reason :)
