Well here it is :ermm:

Spent most of yesterday staring at my boot endlessly, then hours of cutting templates and planning.

Then today I went and bought some wood and put it together!

I'm waiting on a Bosch 044 fuel pump to hook up to the surge tank and put that all into place. I made the surge tank at work one quiet afternoon :D Came out very well.

Let me know what you think, it's not quite finished yet. I need to sort out carpetting, and possible get an aluminum edging made up to line the carpet where it meets the amp.

Cheers Martin. How are ya finding the extra 23 odd kw's??

If all goes well the next few months I should have my car back on the road by the start of March ready for when I get my licence :ermm:

Getting Nismo 555's, finishin the fuel setup, Z32 AFM, Some hybrid turbo made by Adelaide Turbo Works or something, Bill Keen?? A PowerFC if I can find one, and some splitfires.

The garage tuning it for me said they've just done one nearly identical setup and pulled a 284rwkw on a internally standard rb25 at 16psi. I'm excited. ahaha.

Thanks, jack

only concern id have is if one of those lines were to break or come loose

I was thinking that, but the chances aren't that high. When I do get it hooked up ill use braided lines and good clamps. It's not like there's extreme pressure in those lines anyway, probably 40-50psi maybe?

Well here it is ;)

    • 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.
