Ahk cool, hopefully that does something!

Do you know what made the original engine blow besides a bit of hard work?

Oil starvation to the bottom end, spun 2 bottom end bearings.i thought it was running a little ritch before the rebuild also.

If I'm bore on the laptop tonight I'll have a search for ya.

Did cleaning the Afm help then??

dont have the tools to do it properly atm since im at work not going to bother tho will just take it down to team K they are going to diagnose whats going on for me so we can fix it, they are not charging me to diagnose it either, but ill probable need an oil catch can to keep the oil out of the intake pipes and work out if its the turbos or not.

By gut to you mean remove?

No, gut. Remove wire mesh and sensor. For your car, you won't see a difference. Its only really the big HP set-ups that will see an improvements.

We I was talking with Paul the other day about it, and he showed me some flow results he had.

Ok guys work ur magic, need a cheap oil catch can for the GTR that comes with all fitting and hoses.

Red R racing catch can water bottle combo. I know he has one ready to go too.....

Yea i thought that'd be the case.... i think i will just be leaving them as is.. i can then return to stock easily if required for when it comes time to sell etc..

FYP

haha, pretty much my thoughts.. dont plan on selling it.. but, hope for the best, plan for the worst!

Not a bad idea Joel... but to be honest, my stock airbox would probably restrict more airflow then AFMs anyways, for my power goal i think efforts could be better spent elsewhere...

whats Paul charge for them? from the pic of ur car it looks good, also its similar to this one on just jap from what i can make out.

I just pulled the intake hose out and airbox hose off the top AFM was clean but the bottom one that i could not get to looks like it has shit all over it on the outside, light was shining off like like it does a greasy bit of chicken..... gona have to take a intercooler pipe off so i can get to it to give it a wipe down and pull it out, that may have to wait till tonight or tomorrow. I wiped the top one down and the inside of the pipe and it was alot cleaner then the other day no where near as much oil was almost none in the top, i think i will also reset the ECU incase the tune it has learnt while doing the run in is causing issues as i didnt take it above 5k and now im giving it to it like i would a 18yr old pro.

Pretty sure they flow well up to 400kw or something silly!

yea thats what ive heard, my tuners swear that the airbox's cant make more than 300awkw or something? didnt like me putting them back in over the pods i had in there.. but i had heard many stories of them going near the 400awkw mark so i dont know..

I think you can modify the stock box to suck air from the fender, there is a hole and abit that sticks into the guard, you just need to cut the hole in the box from memory.. will look into this at the next stage though. not sure if you did this joel?

My box has this in it stock, has a vent on the side with an induction pipe into the fender also

Yeah as long as the holes are cut on the other side of the filter so that it still does its job you could do mods, basically the intake side like that should not be restricting your power, if i had the room i would have run a stock airbox too! Because you know, my car is stock and stuff!

    • 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?
