racing clutch

3" cat back

things in my mind are:

turbo back exhaust

safc or new comp

fmic

Bah... If it was me I would do:

3" Front/Dump + 3" Cat (10-15rwkw)

Cover your Pod in a box with a cold air feed (keeps things cooool)

Pineapples (rear cradle bushes for HEAPS better traction)

Ex Cam Gear

Lightened Flywheel

= i dunno about $1900

No point getting an aftermarket ECU yet because you still have heaps of bolt-on mods to do that will benefit from being tuned by a better ECU.

I think you need to spend an hour and read over these 2 threads:

You don't need big turbo's, aftermarket ecu's etc to make good power and speed. You just need the right combination and also need to know how to drive the thing.

Fane,

If you get a boost gauge I can help you put it in, just ask gary the top job i done on his (hehehe! my bad!)

But not this weekend :rolleyes:

Autometer from SupaCheap ought to do, but there may be a prob sourcing a t-piece adaptor thinggy (hard to explain)

I got a Marlows one, about $50 all up, works fine :)

Fane, I told you to come to the Skill Swapping day, I already promised Angel she could have it there, as she put in an offer first, sorry:( I think the Pineapples cost me $120, so there yours for the same price.

Kym, Your car is much better now:D and your flames are wicked

    • 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?
