I've had the 3zj running for about a month now on the IPD overhaul kit with 16.4 pistons, cat round port reman head with E style exh manifold and CTP 8785 nozzles. My cat turbo says 112-6918, its wastegated and will run 23-24 max boost. My timing is pinned stock.
Pyrometer will hit 900 max. I zip tied the wastegate hose and now the max boost is 28-30 and pyro hits 825-850.
The timing advance and injector pump are both rebuilt as well as a new afc housing. I haven't touched any of these three yet but it smokes pretty good on upshifts and I'm getting just a little more haze than I'd like to have running through the gears (8785s?).
I'd like to advance the timing a half inch on the balancer, and keep the stock turbo pinched for now. Would adding timing with the stock turbo help the haze or should I wait until I have the $$$ for either a 177148 or 174260? It runs good enough right now with no pump/afc mods in my opinion, just the haze and I don't know anyone in N illinois who meter times
