I thought you could make 40 or 50 extra kw with the proS? Nice choice, what did it cost you?

I bought the kit with a damaged turbine so all up it cost me $2300 after fitting a new CHRA but this is also including the dump, intake etc. There were a few niggling things missing like M10 14mm hex nuts with the correct height and correct material and a bit of buggerising around.

Obviously is the same size comp wheel in a different trim so there is some hp in that plus the larger turbine (56mm vs 53mm) should allow it to breath better so I would expect around 30kw extra on the same dyno but hopefully a whisker more everywhere. We will see how it feels on the fat car. Ms Wolv will be annoyed if she doesn't like it as much, so I have plenty riding on how it drives after.

Roof rail replacement kit finally arrived today: WUHOO!!! It's only taken 2 years to get this sorted! Also, Bilstein re-valve kit arrived a couple of days ago: Just need to collect my new daily driver (Hopefully next week), so I can get the Stag sorted...

Where did you get the roof rail replacement kit from, looking to get one for my stag ?

Edited by tougeR33GTST

pulled off my split dump pipe and turned it into a bellmouth, i was starting to get a lot of spikes since turning up the boost. also fitted a Gizzmo MS-IBC last weekend to replace the Jaycar unit.

resprayed my roof rails on the weekend.

used a product called 'bumper black' which i have had a lot of success with before. it is a black paint that has an inbuilt primer in it, and goes on with a textured finish very similar to powder coating. it is fantastic because it dries fast, and because of the textured finish,it hides imperfections very easily. it is also extremely durable. i'd highly reccommend it for anyone who's rails are looking a bit faded or mottly. i'll be doing my wiper arms with it this weekend.

EDIT: quick tip, if you do this, make sure you mask off EVERY part of the car that you don't want this stuff on. it gets airborn and travels for metres and metres. my garage floor was covered in a powdery residue afterwards. i went to mitre10 and bought a few plastic drop sheets from the paint section, cost about 2 bucks each. tape those down with masking tape and dont leave any room for error because this stuff will find it's way in! it was esp important for me as i have a white car.

Pick or ban. Did you do it with the rails on the car?

yep with rails on the car. probably should have made it clear, but the drop sheets were to cover the car, not the garage floor!

can try get pics but proably not going to show all that clearly.

I guess this is the place to put it..

But i got some wheels the other day for my Gtr, but since its engineless at the moment i thought they would go on the stagea for a bit.. however i was expecting them to hang out of the guards alot since my 17x9's do by about 2 inches..

however.... 18x10+20 i am led to believe..

    • 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?
