Didn't you get a chance to drive, typerlc?

No ... and I'm pretty dissappointed about that! Too busy collecting money, flagging and all that sort of sh*t.

And while I know you're joking Duncan, for the record, my stock ITR (DC2R or old one for the uninitiated) does low 12s with semis (I was hoping to say 11s ... I'm close, but not quite there yet). Of course track conditions play a big part in good times. And they weren't the best on the day (not bad in the arvo, but still cold).

How did your race go Duncan?

Low 12s is pretty bloody quick too, that's all I can do in the skyline. Those type rs are sweet handling cars, they just need a turbo :D

I should have gone to this instead, I ended up with 5th, 6th and a broken driveshaft :)

Good to see the numbers were better than expected.

Who needs a turbo with performance like this: http://www.vtec.net/articles/view-article?...ticle_id=101836

For those that can't be bothered following the link, it's a new ITR engine (4cyl, 2.0L, NA) making 260 WHP with more to come :)

I'm having second thoughts about posting this in the lion's den. Ahhhh ... you only live once :)

Well, that's a huge output there. approx 260kw at flywheel?

I do like to 170nm torque peak at 5,500rpm :D - wouldn't want to drive up a hill!

Seriously though, that is a huge power output, but you'd have to admit it would be pretty unfriendly anywhere except a race track.

Hmmm ... your math has gone awry somewhere. Torque peak was 173 lb ft ... ~ 234 Nm. Still not turbo-like, but nothing to sneeze at.

:uhh:

You mean they don't talk metric over there? 234nm is much better, but its where it comes in that worries me! I guess it revs to 9k tho.

You guys will see the light one day :)

Hehehe.

Yep ... that's them. Why do skylines seem to always be on the brakes. It's a bit distracting when you're passing slower cars to have their brake lights always flashing you. At least they're courteous enough to pull over when they see a real car approaching.

In case that's not clear ... maybe it's time to refresh yourself with the results:

:):P;) :bahaha: :D :D :D

(oh god, what have I got myself into?:))

Hey, how can hondas be so fast when you guys leave your engines in your basements?

Hmmmm ... Duncan, I'm sure that thread says more about Skyline owners than Honda ones. :D

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
