Hey QLD ppl

Just wondering if there is anywhere in or around the Brisbane area that you can get a turbo highflowed?

I know you can in Sydney and VIC but i havent really read that you can in Brissie, i have searched but couldnt find anything

Cheers

If Mercury can't do it for you you could contact Dan at ERD, he is a Garrett dealer (and probably others too) and might be able to organise it for you. He's a sponsor of SAU QLD too so he can't be all bad :Dhttp://www.erd.com.au - he's at Yatala by the way.

In any case, regardless of where you take it, try to make sure that they know what you want out of the car and what that means they need to tell whoever it is that will highflow the turbo. And try to deal with someone who will talk directly to the person doing the work, it saves on Chinese whispers-style issues and you're not paying 11ty middle-men.

Compressor surge, bad service, poor information on their turbos, they have no time for the little guys put it that way. I dont mind rubbishing rubbish.

Saying that the garretts they supply would probably be alright since they are not touched by them. Im talking purely on there highflow service.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
