The FJ vacuum advance happens when the throttle plates close (vacuum increases) it is done for emissions reasons to burn off all the unburned hydrocarbons.....not for performance.

Unplug and cap the vacuum line. Run the non advanced timing curve.

Dear God, I haven't read the whole thread, but is that rear sprocket huge? How are you gonna keep the front end on the ground?


edit: just read the whole thread... did you ever get the 42T sprocket? 47T would have been insane.

started on the exhaust need to cap off the original inlet on the muffler still

Ordered the fpr last night. A boost referanced fpr is not something I was able to find locally so I ordered it online. The fuel pump it's self I will source from local store. Still need the blow off valve then after I testride it I will be doing performance clutch and ignition.

Give me feed back on the muffler. All of you.

Personally - I like it - would be good to have something that small on my FJ, but I doubt it would pass the local police station without waking them up.     :i_am_so_happy:

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

The Muffler looks great. The only thing I can see that may be an issue is, the low part under the engine and the angling up to the muffler may drag on the ground during a hard right hand curve.
I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

The pictures are deceiving because the exhaust after the collector comes out side then up so depth perception tricks a little but the lowest point of exhaust is only about 1/4 inch lower at lowest point then before the turbo and I never had a problem so I'm hoping as long as I stay conscious of it I will be fine.

jnimbostratus

Oh and as far as sound. It is not loud. Its quieter then when I was running that same can without the turbo. But the combo of can and turbo quieted it down a bit
