good stuff, thats what i ,meant by not throwing in a second hand engine in without checking it... its lucky you got a good engine to start wiv, my conversion cost so much coz ive got a fairly big engine setup, thats where it costs the most...

good result, mine is weeks away from completion and i cant wait to drive it...

same cant wait to take it down the strip and see wat i can get with street tyers hoping to get into the 12s and it left alice springs today so hopfully be at boost worx next week to get finished

1 more question will it be loud as i dont hav any cat mufflers or any thing its just stright pipe pretty much i no its illegal but in this town cops r pretty cool they dont mind it as long as u got good tyers and u dont act like a wanker in town they dont really care wat u got dun to ur car

i have to moove to your town... wonder if theyd pull u over for max boost gate open!!!

you should run 12s easy,maby 11's, i ran 13.0 in my old s14 with only 14 psi, exhaust and a clutch with bald tyres...

it probably would be loud but not massivly....

A mate did a similar conversion and I'm pretty sure he used these guys I've linked below; my mate basically sent the original RB25 loom across with the RB26 loom and the guys modified it and sent back the modified loom. They were super helpful and the car started first turn of the key. Didn't cost much either from memory.

    • 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.
