how old is your pod? size?

when i bought a new one, i didnt realise the surface size was so important,

it literally suffocated the engine as the turbo spooled up.

i suggest buying another pod first, could be something as minor/stupid as that.

shut up damo :(

yeah, make sure you ckeck the bottom of the elbow pipes in particular, the tend to rub on the body of the car

and split over time, best way is to actually take them off and inspect. you may not see the split otherwise

I had a similar problem with my 33, turned out the computer got shorted and was running -40deg timing. Chuck a timing light on it. Also if you're not sure of their condition or type, change your plugs to Iridiums and gap them to 0.8mm

R32's when stock do feel fairly crap, mine used to feel like an N/A until I got some boost in to it.

They need exhaust and a little boost ~12psi then they start to come alive.

Taping coils won't do anything unless its popping/missing. If you must throw in a set of cheap copper BCPR6E plugs and gap them to 0.8mm. ~$24 for a set and they last a good 30,000km's on a near stocker with a little boost.

Lazy fuel pump can make a car feel really tired.

Best bet is to grab a base dyno run.

Throw it on the dyno at one of the up and coming dyno days. You'll soon know if something is off with it. :)

If you do the timing light check that will only be noticeable if you bring the car off idle. When on idle the car runs off its statically set timing via the CAS.

+1 for putting in at PGSA dyno day

Put it in the coming dyno day at Graham West Workshops

and ask Brett to give you advice on how the car is running etc

He will give you a lot of feedback and also will tell you what other simple things you can do to get the most out of your 32 mate

-1 for putting it on at PGASA, the last thing they wanna do down there is diagnose your problem when they are whipping through 50 cars on the day..

Take it down to Aussie Dyno on corner of port rd and south rd, or boostworx (youll have to book in) boothby st panorama.

Damo if you look at the entry form

they have the option of either entering in as competing

or entering in to get tuning details

    • 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?
