Roffles just remembered this... on the way down the mountain tonight heading into the coast, this porsche and volvo are being absolute wankers... nearly ran john off the road when he had to merge when his lane ended (gunned it up from behind john to try to get between us as the lanes merged into one, johno guned it back and beat him too it)

Anyway I decided to pull us over and let these two go past... Anyway they pull up at the lights and were behind them, me behind the porsche. The driver of the porsche gave it some good stick (and I must admit I flattened it too to keep up) as the lights went green and it started blowing smoke EVERYWHERE! Not just small amounts of smoke either, not blowby or overfuling, huge no-shit clouds of smoke that started to impare my and shanes vission... did a good job of waxing up the front of my car too.

So I get next to the thing and tell it to pull over, turn it off, somethings f**ked and its pissing huge billows of oil smoke everywhere. This is when I notice theres an old woman driving it with her son in the back. Considering the way it was being driven just prior to all this, I found this quite surprising.

Anyway me and johno park, me and shane leg it back (johno parked closer, I had to go further down the road) and the volvo has pulled over too. The volvo owner is a older dude, looks like the husband, and hes just saying its burning off excess oil. My ass, itd been with us for a good 10 mins by that stage and it hadnt blown so much as a whiff, then as soon as she launched it bang, smoke city, it even blew heaps while it was idleing. All he wanted to do was just get out of dodge however... it was really strange. Also, why the old woman driving the porsche with the toddeler son in the back and the husband in the shitty volvo? and Why was the old woman driving it so hard? They seemed almost desperate to get away. Id say stolen if it wasnt for the toddeler?

Anyway it was quite a laugh to watch this happen after they allmost ran johno off the road. The porche had death-rattles bad as it drove away.

      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.

      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?
