OOOOOeeee....

Cut a hole in the boot floor and mount the intake/filter in the boot. Then cut a vent behind the licence plate so it can breathe...

if you put a vent behind the number plate you will get exhaust fumes in the cabin area.

Yeah i've decided not to because i may have to drive on gravel roads and it'll suck dust into my boot. And that will destroy all my amps and sub. Haha.

I'm sure marty has thought of the best way to do it.

no updates yet other then i have found new bumpers for my car. Not that exciting for all you fulla's. Should hopefully, might possibly have the car back early this week. However i'm not holding my breath cause i've been told that at least 3 times now.

Any one who says it wont work obviously has no abillity to think outside the box, the huge lag myth has been been eliminated and the water and dirt on/in the turbo and filter is easily fixed.

Yeah, but that is a 5.7L V8, Not a 3L six pot,

GT45's arent laggy on LS1's.

I'm still dubious on the results but I hope it does work.

I'm personally looking at doing it on my 5ltr fairlane but even then I would probably only go a 3540 with a .8 or maybe a 1.0 exhaust housing.

It's not the optimal set up but if you pick the right size turbo it can be a nice little power booster, and with the way the vic cops are if you can mount it high enough and put a cover over it it will keep it stealth.

If you want to do that I would get the smallest turbo you can get away with, the NC fairlane makes 165kws at the flywheel if you only want a bit more than that (say 165kw at the treads then you would only need something like a 28RS, not a 650hp gt35R, bit over kill imo.

yeah. At the end of the day with the stuff i'm doing to the car it will be making more power even if i wasn't putting a turbo in. Seeing as the engine i had was on its way out. I'm hanging out to get it back though. Hopefully the final result is a good one. It'll give me something to build on and hopefully help people who decide to do something simular!

Exactly :ermm:

Also the housing on that turbo is rather small, doesn't look any bigger than a .82 at best.

Very small for such a large capacity motor, and certainly aid alleviate the massive piping addition

did you have a look at the car you mean? Got two brand new bumpers for it so she won't look so bunged up. What coilovers would you recommend? And yeah i'm gonna find some fat, light, inconspicuous looking rims. Any suggestions there either?

S13 coilovers fitt fairly easily I believe... Marty willl be the one to ask. I have HSD's under my pig.

As for rims... I'd get a set of 15" steelies widened as much as possible each end, then put plastic hub caps back on!!!

haha yeah. Plastic hub caps would make it look grandpa spec! I've got standard silvia rims on it i believe. And there only 15's and look fairly low key. I'll shop around and fins some thing that blends in.

    • 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.
