Most workshops will charge you per labour hour which is normally around the $80 mark.....i had my fuel pump and boost controller fitted for i think $80 and a dyno run to see if it all worked fine and to tune the EBC.....all and all it came up to $80 as it took them roughly 1 hour to do lol...

Call and find what workshops will charge you mate.....

workshops up north: pitlane performance, smooth garage, boostworx, morepowa, fours n more, boosting oz

search them up and call em mate

wow thats cheap! i'll have to call thanks for the list.

but heres the update my car is bak on the road. total time was 4hours to take out a fuel pump out of an old 33 then taking out mine and fitting it! and boy im to ashamed to say but my original fuel pump was so small i was shattered i thought i had a big one. a fish tank pump is bigger then what i had! but i have a new pump and its MUCH bigger and i think my car is even more responsive now :D so i wound the boost up 2 notches :)

thanks guys for the help!!!

i bought a standard 2nd hand pump off my mate from his spare 33 for 50$ which im happy. but i will now save and buy a aftermarket :))

if you bought a standard 33 pump theres no way it should have been larger than your original. Was your car ever an N/A? You wont get more response from a fuel pump, it was probably struggling to pump the amount of fuel required, your lucky you changed it when you did.

thats a valid point damo. and not sure if it was N/A unfortunately.

but theres now bad news.. my car is dead again! fuel pump is working fine, fuses are fine. the car cranks but just doesnt wana start >.< one problem after another! anyone know what may be wrong? could a coil pack have died and it refuses to start the car? what happened was i was at my mates and hopped out the car cos mate wanted to look under the hood then the car started to idle up and down then the car turned off... anyone know of this happening and would know what could be wrong with it?

give your afm a quick clean to see if that is the issue....also try another afm if you can get hold of it just to rule out the afm is the issue.....i remember the same symptoms when my mates afm died

    • 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.
