Thanks Ash

Had a read of it and will have a better look when the sun comes up but i don't have a boost gauge to check boost levels, And thats one of the things i need to borrow as i only want to set it and forget it and not have a permanent gauge in the car.Well not yet anyway

Thanks Mick

I don't recommend setting and forgetting. Turbotechs are very reliable manual boost controllers, probably the best out there bar none but I'd never rule out boost spiking or overboosting on any boost controller...always good to have a glance at the gauge when you're giving her stick. Buy a boost gauge mate :D

You can't really stuff it up...it'll either boost or it won't. The only thing you'll need to be careful of is that you start with a conservative boost and slowly move up rather than just opening the valve all the way.

IF you're looking for a nice cheap boost gauge... I just happen to have some for sale :)

See my sig below...

Thanks for the reply's

The turbotech boost controller is now fitted and working well with the help from a mate from work ( WRX STI DRIVER) and i also got a sass mechanical boost gauge with different coloured lights whoooo ( no we didn't wire them up)

Be carefull of Autobarn Doncaster prices as they wanted to charge me $59.99 for a boost gauge that had an advertised a price of $49.99 on the box when it was scanned

Hope every one has fun at the SAU VIC dyno day hope to see you there because i now have to work most of the day but will show up if i get out at a reasonable time

P.S we got 9psi straight away without having to do any more fine tuning(luck or good managment i don't know) would love 15+ psi now.Next is nistune and a bigger or better turbo time to start saving ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

never had a problem with mine either....but if your unsure how it goes in...ahhh maybe you shouldnt be playing with it? And yes I'm referring to the boost controller...hahaha

well i put it on the dyno today it only got 113 all wheel kws.i would have thought at least 130kws oh well guess i need to start playing with it.thanks for the advice danielle can you give me some tips how i should do it (maybe a tune and bigger turbo)???

It was good to see other Stageas there yesterday Mick, and you weren't the only person with a lower than expected result. Most people were complaining of a 20wkw difference, mine was down 25awkw since the last tune there 2 months ago.

Just a tune will net good gains and allow further mods in the future. While im no RB expert, from what I have read the Nistune is the way to go. Research well, there are many options and a wealth of information, get in the forced induction forum and read up on them.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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!
