well i did a oil seal on my turbo , after putting the new one on cleaning all the oil out of my intake pipes, i cleaned the amf sensor, and soon as i went around the corner and hit boost the the car started spittin black smoke and runnign rough, I cheacked all sensors and borrowed a few off a mate, every sensor was great, i didnt check the cooling temp sensor, so i did research asked about , if the cars cold and i drive it and let idle idles great until car warms up. ( only take 30 seconds if that ) any ways i took the punt and yes it was the cooling temp sensor, the cooling temp sensor reads the car engine temp, any ways when they are f**ked they read a nutral degree ( zero) and as ypu wopuld all know a car engine is a lot hotter lol, so they cts is telling the computer to pump fuel in to make it combust to make the engine warmer,

wheres the cooling temp sensor ??

the ecu only receives input from the o2 sensor once the system reaches operating temp. if the sensor is dodgy its gonna run rich, if you unplug it it will run rich so i dont see the point in that test.

get the car to operating temperature hook up a voltmeter to the sensor, a working sensor should fluctuate between 0-5v.

,but could be dodgy injecor, leaky injector seal, dodgy fpr, dodgy maf, temp sensor, vac leak boost leak, dodgy wiring.

would taking it to a tuning place help or would it be worth trying to find the fault myself ? so far ive spent 600 on splitfires after cartoys said thats what the problem was, i dont want to replace all the sensors in my car before finding the problem and thousands later. Im under the impression that they can hook their computers up n find the faults quickly but i dunno

hey ive just bought another stock o2 sensor, im confused because i have a stock dump pipe and the original o2 sensor is factory yet my replacement o2 sensor is the same as my old one in every way BUT the thread on the new one has a much smaller diameter than my old one so it just drops in the hole and cant be tightened, anyone heard of this before ??

the new one and the old one are identical in shape and size, the plug is also exactly the same but i'd say that there's bout 5mm difference in the thread diameter.

the replacement which is too small to screw into my dump pipe says NGK 205 JAPAN on it, below that on the nut, it says 2E21.

cant see what the old one says on it because it's in the car n i can only ever undo it with a rattle gun

R32s take a sensor with 12mm thread, R33s and beyond take 18mm threaded sensors. It's possible you either have a stock dumppipe from a R33/R34 or it's an aftermarket dump that looks stock?

    • 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?
