:D First off I live in America...California to be exact, and when graduated in '05 I set off on my mission to get my old VG30 taken out of my Z for the infamous RB26. Well, a year and a few months later my dream had become true but unsuccessful. True because I got the swap done but about an hr. and a half after picking up my car from (Garage Works Ltd.) the business in Palmdale Ca. that did the swap for me I blew a head gasket due to overboosting (detonation). Well, worst part about it is that the money I used to do it was my college money and I figured I would have a running car so I could just work 2 pay for my classes...Yup, I am working, and going to school ...but no car. Basically I am asking for N E 1's help, whoever is willing. This swap was a dream come true 2 me that ended up turning into a nightmare...my parents don't even want me putting anymore money into the car but I think about it EVERYDAY!! (since '06)...it's '08. If there is N E thing N E one could do to help me it would be greatly appreciated, more than ever will be known. Even an idea of how to get it worked on, I just really hate having to look at my car sitting on the side of my dad's house. If someone does decide to try and help me my e-mail is ([email protected]) and I do have pics of my car how it is now if someone wanted to see proof before helping, and I do know what is wrong and needed.

Thanx Very Much

Mike

Hoping your not asking for cash, everyone works just as hard for their money as you do, and nothing in life is free.

But anyway as was already said why dont you take the head off and check whats wrong? Your not using the car anyway so it's not going to hurt if you start taking parts off.

Or even easier, sell the car and buy a sh!tter.

    • 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?
