so this cars actually engineered/mod permitted?

coz a yellow sticker would turn out absolutely expensive for you?

is top racing doing the tuning inhouse?

ps. do you know how much the clutch set you back?

seems to be recommended by alot of workshops here in WA

they did one in a vl before but using a r33 head. Its more of a drag car and pretty serious stuff. I think after doing my car them boys could do another with their eyes closed and upside down. And any doubts they had they made sure to take the extra precautions to ensure max reliability.

theres problems gettin the engine stared. Its only running on 2 cylinders. They pin pointed it dwn to a possible faulty hks ignition amplifer?? Even thou its brand new! And apparently its not the 1st unit they encountered with the same prob. So they goin 2 plug up the orignial harness n see. Has any1 heard of the same thing happing and could there also be another factor?

That's a very weird problem to have... my 2630 started first turn, was a little rattly for the first 5 seconds, then came to life like normal.

I HIGHLY doubt your HKS Twin Power is faulty unless you guys did a splice/dice wiring job - you just got the plug-in loom right?

My mates HKS ignitor failed pretty quickly on his SR, not when it was brand new though.

So you never know, could be a faulty ignitor.

Keep us updated, very interested to see how she goes.

brand new spitfires/plugs. Im sure they would of checked them 1st. I think it would b a process of elimination with the obvious first. U would think paying top dollar for brand name parts known the dam stuff bloody works to start of with

I'd have thought that they'd at least have made sure it fired up properly before calling you down for an inspection... but I know your pain after such a long time, I wasn't there when the car was first started up - but I had it streamed realtime onto the internet so I could watch at work :D

Thanking my lucky stars it all went as planned...

yep she's all fired up and running. Still very curious as to why its not starting with the hks amplifer thou. Something to look into down the track as its not needed now. Engine is very loud and cams are lumpy indeed which surprised everyone. Idle is just pure sex. Too paranoid to drive much as absolute cop magnent. Run in tune makes .8 bar at rev limit of 4k rpm. Not as laggy as expected. It is so drivable with the extra torque and clutch is so smooth. Would never know its rated 1000hp.

theres at least another 6wk waiting peroid for the haltech plug and plug to be released. Dont know weather i should just piggy back the standard ecu or go for another ecu all together. The tuner recommened the ems?

63k build and you were comtemplating an EMS... crazy. Nice build though, big fan of the NEO heads.

    • 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.
