A Mines ECU... is often not really the best.

It might run the boost fine and not get angry, however with a unknown tune, you really should not be taking the risk.

So... would the car benefit from a tune? Most certainly, Yes.

Bin the Mines ECU and get something decent :P

no need to go for the happy "bin the ecu" suggestion made, just get the car on a dyno to test afr's its like $80 or something to do one run.

If you do this just be careful and let the dyno operator know that the car has an unknown tune and that you just did the mods listed cuase you dont want him to lean on it and do a full power run with an unknown tune... could cause a nice bang... :P

IMO would be better to get hold of a std ecu and run 10psi until a new ecu comes along then sell the stocker for what you paid..

just my 2c

^^ any decent tuner should be keeping any eye on the afrs as they are doing the run, if it starts to lean out they'll stop the run.

imo stick it on the dyno and see what she says, you can still drive around if need be, just dont belt up on it until you get a proper dyno power run.

    • 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?
