Well mate, if you like, we can do a dodgy, I pretty much have 2 complete piping kits for a gtir, we can always look at cutting them to fit with a shit load of silicon hose and clamps and make "custom made" pipe for it, plus I believe we could mock up some brackets of our own

Thats just asking for trouble, "custom Piping usually ends in leaks and pressure drop due to less than optimal pipe length and bends.

so is it carseldine this week?

Not sure what does everyone want to do? Me I want to play Gears 3 but I have to wait till thursday so I can co-op that shit.

i'm easy, as i pretty much in between both morayfield and carsaldine.

as for the customer pipe, this was basically saying that, if bodo really absolutely wanted to have a FMIC installed with little to no money, i have a FMIC plus pipe that we could cut and patch with hoses, this is by far not the best thing, as like you said would end up in leaks, but would be possible, as bodo would only need to get the hoses and clamps, i can supply the FMIC and pipe work, but in the end it is up to bodo as what he wants, these ideas are purely ideas and quite possibly bad ones, but ideas none the less.

Custom pipping may not be all it's worked up to be, specially if you are joining several pieces (silicone joitns cost). Might as well buy monsta pipping, or search ebay for the right length etc.

FMIC Ordered, hopefully here end of next week!

Anyone keen to make the meet weds/thursday? either of those days is fine this week, but coming weeks i will have to push thursdays (the mises)

im up for capers castledine tonight. a bit of a drive instead of just hanging around moronfield here. hopefullly chris can join us

im aware that doing a bodgy intercooler with far to many joins would be a dodgy. im just intrigued as too how well it can be made to fit. all those piping kits are aluminium arent they?? if so i have a welder that can fix that. :) i dont do bodgy, but if i can make something instead of buying it, i'll always take that option.....either because ima cheap skate or.....i dunno :whistling:. im sure the best possible intercooler piping length is, the shortest possible way. without going to many sharp bends. i'll see what Joe has there, and if its possible it will be a whole weekend project to piece together i think.

Well mate, I'll be going down to the folks not this weekend but the following, so I'll pick up everything I have, that's pipe hoses and cooler, I believe the pipes are not aluminum, I think there some sort or light steel with crome coating, basically the same as what I have on the line.

However, I might go down this weekend and pick them up as the boy is with the grandparents and I have a feeling I'll need to get him, I'll let you know mate, but I think I have enough pipe to do the kit for you

    • 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?
