Overpressure in radiator system + ABS and Tracs problems + odometer

My thought about the ABS is that the car have been crashed and they replaced the hub with one without ABS, unfortunaly the seller says he dont know much about the car at all.

Glad to help, Fredrik.

What you should expect is that...given the FMIC modification...it may have been run on high boost without high octane fuel - this damages the ring lands and chips away at the metal in the cylinder head, which in turn negatively affects compression (and blow-by). If it fails the compression/leakdown tests, you're definitely looking at a new shortblock (to me, don't try to rebuild it - the 2jz-gte tolerances are far too precise to measure with plastigage). Also, don't think about aftermarket (forged) internals to solve any problems - the oem internals are good to 1000hp as long as you run enough octane in the fuel. Insufficient octane however will detonate and destroy any forged internals just as easily as it will destroy the oem internals.

The ABS issue likely does not have to do with an accident. More likely it has to do with poor maintenance. Just check the codes and troubleshoot accordingly.
