Oil pump destroyed itself and broke into about 12 pieces. Exhaust cam welded itself to a few cam caps, all EX valves bent. Intake cam is as good as useless. SOMEHOW the bottom end survived. A quick polish of the crank and it's good to go. Some of the big end bearings looked like they just came out of the box. Stupid Oil pump's. Good for nothing!

Bugger , that sucks ! just when it was getting some great results and moving forward ! which oil pump did you have on it ? I worry about mine as well but mine is "only" making 350rwkw , have not done a track day with this one yet , fingers crossed . Glad the bottom end is good though that is a small relief :thumbsup:

It was so strong. It was running an N1 pump. I was always worried about that stupid thing. It only had to last maybe another 3-4 months and it was going to be ripped out and replaced with a Tomei.

2.8 is getting sold. It's high comp 3.0 time :D

Sorry to hear about this mate. Glad the RRR block is okay though

varrstoen 2.2.1 18x10.5+15 but i also put a 3mm spacer behind each rim, all rims sit flush with the guards now.

also have federal 595 rsr tyres 265/35/18

They look really nice and flush mate. Good job!! :happy:

    • 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?
