luck, boy did we need some. a mad scramble to get car ready, and i know well that its the worst way to prepare for an event.

Saturday we had the car wheel aligned and made all the tin-work. Monday night we fitted the tin-work, made gear shifter and mounted handbrake lever, also made and fitted rear lexcen window.

tuesday organised fuel and some minor stuff and then took it too dyno. All looking good at this point.

When atempting to tune found that ECU was locked accidently and can only be unlocked by the persons software who locked it. After a few hours of trying to get around this problem we were left with no option but too leave it, get the ECU unlocked in the morning and then bring the car back up to tune.

After getting home at 1 and back up at 630 for the past 3 days i was shot. So up to sydney we drive again and have the car on the dyno by 9. after 8 hours of tuning and software downloads etc etc we got the car to run at about 80%. We called it a day at 6pm. 7 hours late for my track day lol. But more than happy as Yavus from Unigroup after hours of stuffing around with the HP tuner software broke its back and made real progress with the tune.

The car was making 302Kw @ 7000rpm at the tyres when we finished. He thinks its got a little bit left in it and some fine tuning to finish.

The car sounded strong in the end and was crazy to drive as i got to give it a skid in the car-park.

Huge thanks to The boys at Unigroup for a massive effort, as well as my brother and brother in-law who

travelled up and down with me. Also Ian for sticking around and helping out on tuesday night.

hope to have the tune finished in the next 2 weeks in order for the SAU track day.

Good luck today Stu!

Hope all goes well.

nice one mate. nothing ever goes perfectly but those problems are only minor. and one missed trackday is no biggie.

mmm 300 @ 7 will be some serious fun. what are the ratios like in the box that's behind it?

Hey Stuart is the rumour correct that you are chasing more killer wasps so that Bumble Bee will behave like a real "sprint car" and lift the front wheels off the ground under acceleration?

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
