waiting on a reply from cj motors off ns.

they say they have bride type rx rails in stock and genuine for 279 each.

so once i get a price for freight and confirmation of stock on hand ill be ordering a pair from them i think.

was gonna get the grizzly imports power rails. but they wont send me a pic of the actual rail just the generic pic they have online.

and its not the right rail so i dont trust em. rather pay the extra money for somethin i know will be the right stuff

so got laurel back from boostworx. didnt make the power i was hoping for but apparently there is a restriction believed to be my supposedly high flow cat..

its makes awesome mid range power (it made an extra 45kw through the mid range) on 15.5psi but drops down to about 13psi up top because of the restriction leading to a total figure of 174.3.

next step is decat pipe and some new coil packs as they show signs of arching out.

overal very happy with it now. drives a shit load better off boost and comes onto boost quicker and harder. :)

heres a pic of the dyno graph.

gap is set to 0.7 currently.

havent given it a full bootful yet. but from 4000rpm it really moves quite quickly up to 6000rpm and speedo starts tickin over quite quick haha.

at 3000rpm its makin about 8psi on full throttle in 3rd gear. but had to back off for traffic.

yeah but you gotta do what you gotta do.

if it turns out to be my car causing the issue ill get a new proper high flow cat.

it is good fun, but i want 200 haha.

bride rails rocked up today, i missed the courier though. will be ringing them tomorrow to see if i can get them delivered to work.

so i tried to organise to get the courier to deliver the rails to my work..... apparently this isnt possible because they dont have authority to do this.

even though i gave them my name address and the tracking number.

anyways i went and picked the up. 35min drive. each way. ohwells.

and finally installed!!

they are low. not excessively and seem to be on a sloping rail. the closer to the wheel you sit the higher it gets haha.

handy if any short people drive it i spose.

sorry bout the shit pictures. camera phone plus literally just finished bolting them in haha.

LOL yeah I'm in the US and they are everywhere here, I'm actually just gonna make my own so they can sit lower since I'm 6'7, not that hard to make.

I have a set from a friend but just haven't gotten around to mocking them up yet.

The stock seat are pretty comfy so far so they are just on the back burner while I take care of the other things on my list.

Thanks for the look out anyway!

    • 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.
