PS i know this may sound silly, but are you running a BOV?

I know not running one usually means the turbo dies quicker (even though most people will deny this), its just that when running one, especially in drift, it doesnt feel like the BOV can keep up with being on and off the throttle as much as you are while drifting.

Just read all 22 pages, awesome build mate, reading this makes me want to get started on mine sooner. Good stuff!

So how did the gtx go compared to the non gtx?

Also whats the reason for the r33 TB instead of the r34 one?

Good work mate! :cheers:

used the 33 tb because the 34 one is much longer and has all the TCS crap in it.

i did a review in the forced section with a GTX vrs GT.. its defo better, spools earlier!

which is exactally why i dont run one. BOV's WILL make it laggier while on and off the throttle during drift.

hahaha thought i was the only one to feel that except for the japs.

Also how do you have the crankcase pressure valve set up? are you running a catch can or just like standard with the nipple on the intake pipe?

sorry about all the questions, just absolutely love this car, especially seeing as its proven.

catch can venting to atmo.. simple and effective!

G1 rd 2 run and done.. i can forget about back to back championships now... i blew 3rd early on in the day :(

    • 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.
