Hi All!!

I thought it was time I updated this Half Decade project thread.

So engine has been installed and all plumbing has been completed, Been spending some time on getting all the fuel and oil lines perfect and checked for leaks etc.

I must say getting all the water liens hooked up was a little mission in itself and at a few points they met with their maker!

Here's a couple of piccies of how it was at 3pm this afternoon, I hope to turn the key tomorrow once I update the Ecu with a few things that have changed.

P.S when the manafactuer of a product says you need a specific TPS for their Throttle Body always tripple check that they are sure which one you need or you waste alot of time making a stupid adapter to make it suite!

Anyway I hope to update this thread tomorrow with good news!

awesome mate, and i cant believe i can see the ground through the twin low mounts !! very un-cluttered for tt. and is that a blits bonnet ? are u planning to run a strut brace ?

There doesn't appear to be any inlets or filter on the turbos, prob why it appears uncluttered

You are correct not sure what I will do there yet... Monies a bit tight atm so havn't bothered renewing my GAS for my TIG so can't make up the piping.

On another note, I finally got around to starting the car but the last hing i the list was the hook up the oil pressure guage wires .... Friggin thread broke off...

Does anyone know where I can pickup one of these? If not i'll just Fab one up during the week.

    • 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?
