I think maybe I need some proper extra fuse box or something for my GTST now, as a I have a few aftermarket things all wanting power sources, and I found out the shop which put my boost controller in just got a live by wedging the wire in one side of a blade fuse which vexed me greatly. :/

So I need something a bit more 'professional'?

Any ideas? Sorry but my auto-electrical knowledge is shit.

Also anyone know why my indicators flash faster now I went to LED's and what can I do?

my personal favorite: routing wires straight from the battery and a switch on the dash :) but you want something that looks semi professional. in which case relays are your friend! you probably already know what they are but ill say it anyways. a relay is basically an electronically triggered switch; it uses a little power to activate a switch that lets a lot of power through

i think your super fast indicators need resistors put in the works. LEDs have far less resistance than normal bulbs. so in theory, the ECU has noticed this and assumes a bulb is out, hence the fast flash. however i dont know what kind of resistor you will need. that will take some multimeter work and ohms law equations on your behalf

:google: "electronic flasher unit"

these bad boys make the indicators flash at the same speed regardless of load. but you need to find yours and see how many terminals it has first so you get the right one

you can buy led load resisters. you just join one end into the indicator wire and the other end to earth. you will need one for each indicator with an led. you should.be able to get them from super cheap or just about any automotive store

    • 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?
