Get a new belt, could be just dry and old.

Depends on the load on the vehicles circuit, cant imagine why the non turbo is higher but you can burn out the voltage regulator... eventually (I really wouldnt worry it) maybe even your coilpacks?

Shouldnt be an issue until you turn everything on, i.e. stereo, air con, headlights etc. even then you can measure the load accross the battery terminals to make sure its ok.

if anything your lights may dim every time your sub is kicking etc. maybe even stall...

everything seems to be fine witht he new alternator, including when stereo is on lights etc. NOw my next project is installing the apexi full auto timer, does anyone have any tips or DIY tutorials on this, i would really love them!! please link or post up what you have!

Ahh excellent, well there hasn't been a problem with the alternator yet, car runs fine, no squeals so i happy with it.

I have heard that HKS turbo timer harnesses are compatible with Apexi, is this true i have ordered one for my apexi full auto timer and i hope it fits as i have already paid for it! dammit! anyhow..any thoughts/ideas on this would be great.

HEY there guys if any of you want to know how to install the apexi full auto timer here is my tutorial, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/In...89#entry3491589

    • 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?
    • 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.
