here's news

oil pump blew up on the dyno @ idunno what rpm but the highest we had was 7000rpm but the end result was bend rods, need new bearings..etc..

rebuild again...

sorry to bring up the sour memories but did u run a oil pump crank collar with your n1 oil pump?

do u know the reason why this oil pump let go? ive spoken to 3 mechanics who actually vouch for the n1 oil pump 'if' the crank collar is fitted

Do you have a web site or the company name of where you got the carbon kevlar overlay done? It looks insane

Don't know where you are located but if you look at them parts it is simply carbon wrap (original plastic is under). can do it yourself. carbon sheet is about $70 a square meter then you need some resin and patience.

Or you can buy the fibreglass sheeting that has the same weave as carbon and dye it black then use it :P (about $7 a square meter)

it looks cool but unless you are going to make a mould and make a part completely out of carbon there is no actual benefit to be had apart from the looks...

    • 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?
