N/A,

Shaun from Boost Worx tuned my car.

Steve,

What did you write to start with mate? EDIT: Forget that, just saw the bit you deleted. Yeah dude I ended up getting a Turbosmart Type 2 V port. I'm not interested in big trumpets and lots of noise, just high CFM capability, and the ability to hold big boost. Ben's Supra runs the same valve and it's never even looked like leaking, even at 28psi. Quite a few big boost/power drag cars use the same valve without dramas. That's good enough for me :) Annnnnd maybe it might have something to do with the fact it's blue/silver :)

I told a GFB rep about how much power/boost I was running with the GFB "Basic", he gave me a wide eyed look and said, "no wonder it was struggling, it's not made to handle those levels! It's actually a stout little BOV considering it didn't leak until ~18psi.

Lach,

Really well actually mate. He had a best ET of 12.1 and a best MPH of 120+.

Near on 210rwkw and bugger all weight certainly makes for a quick little car! Shaun can drive too! 1.7 60ft on one pass.

Matt, you ricer:p I had one of those, they are nice and shiney, match your engine bay beautifully. Thank god you didnt get the type 3, they leak like a sieve.

I seriously think you should just borrow shaun's slicks, just for one run - just to see what you can do - my money would be on mid/low 11s:) Go on, as Danny would say, dont be weak....

Hahaha, yeah Steve deep down it's all about the Rice baby, itz fully sik mate :P I had a type 3 a while back, yep it wasn't the best.

I've been thinking about the whole drag tyre thing, I'm not that keen on full slicks (doesn't go with the street car theme - HPI drag challenge) but a smaller rim and larger profile might be on the cards... 15's or 16's with a bit more side wall. Shaun ran Yoko A032R's on a 14 or 15" rim and they were brilliant! Those ET Streets down at the workshop actually belong to Ben.

Lach,

Yep good call, low mass is another very big help, so much easier to get it moving off the line.

      r34's love to squeal

      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.

      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.
