Hi all,

Just wondering what the differnce is between a JJR fmic and say a greddy with prices around $350 and $700 respectively?? Are the performances similar? and why should i buy a greddy over the jjr??

Cheers

ease of fitment. quality of workmanship.

That's true... and as with and car mod/upgrade/whatever, you get what you pay for. The jjr one might be good for a VERY mild street car but when you start doing upgrades to your car and start putting more boost through it, you'll start noticing problems with leakages through crappy welds, etc. Do things right the first time with mods and you'll save yourself a fortune :)

And if you live in New Zealand then the JJR one almost equates to the cost of a Blitz LM with the rediculous shipping costs you Aussies throw at us :P Plus exchange rate pwnage.

And again of course ++ Respect

Gotta take into account the application.

For a 250rwkw car or something similar, a JJR is the way to go cost vs gain.

Although if your chasing serious power on a serious setup, the you might be better off using something better suits (ie, more costly)

The new spec LS Greddy cores are 30% lighter over the old ones, are tube and fin over bar and plate, are fairly cheap at around $650 off the shelf for the kit and fit perfectly, not to mention look great. Probably one of the best buy intercoolers on the market IMO.

    • 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?
