1. use common sense

2. search

the information is readily available on the forum, you can use any RB series powerfc. obviously you cant easily get one from another car and get it to work.

because all RB's are fairly similar electronically and the powerfc has the ability to be tuned, you can get a powerfc from any RB powered skyline to run any other. BUT, only the R33 and R34 powerfc will do the job PROPERLY. the R34 has variable cam timing, only the R33 and R34 powerfc has the components inside to run that. using a RB26 powerfc is cheaper but you need to redo your wirring harness and you lose control of the VCT.

the VCT (variable cam timing) is makes the car alot more powerful down low, without VCT the car will feel alot laggier unless you get a really good tuner to tune it out with adjustable cam gears.

the forum is FULL of information, more than you will find by asking questions and usually you can ask your question in a topic that is already going.

If you have any questions about how to search, please ask, if not I have armed you already with more than I should have.

Goodluck

    • 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?
