Nah nothing's up man

Put go kart together

Hillclimb

New axle and springs in boat trailer so it will make the trip north at Xmas

Fit radio and whatever else I need to boat to make it sea worthy

Xmas parties

Track day for go kart at Wakefield

Fix axle seal in Melisa's car

Fix skyline and service

And want to try and get house painted as well

Just a few things to do

pretty quick!

benji theres a socket you can get that makes that a 2 minute job. a socket with a cut up it so the wire doesnt get tangled

yes used that socket but ABS booster is in the road and the heat shield for the manifold. Had to use a hole heap of extensions and joints lolz.

ended up having to take off my strut brace to screw new one in (I hand screwed it in as didn't want to risk cross-threading).

I will keep an eye on any beers (if its an open invite :) )

My car is off to Nathan @ Newcastle Dyno tomorrow for a tune and boost controller! Not expecting numbers much different than standard but hoping to get a mid range improvement.

Have you got adjustable cam gears? they beef up the midrange quite alot, they did for mine anyways.

Only mods are -7's, xforce dumps (I was told this is helpful when changing turbos), upgraded fuel pump and splitfire coilpacks (prob don't count as a mod).

It doesn't feel as responsive since the turbo changes and I am concerned about running these with standard ECU and boost control. The only reason I have made any changes was due to the possible failure of the ceramic turbos and everything else has kind of flowed on.

It is getting a PFC and Greddy profec-b tomorrow.

After this I plan on keeping it as stock as possible, well for a while at least :)

Edited boost control reference

haha yeah, probably should have explained that.............I know the standard boost solenoid does its job, but keen on running a low boost and hi boost with appropriate tune.

I may have been misled but a few people have said running -7's can see boost spikes with standard ECU and solenoid.............and its a neat excuse for the wife anyways!

The only things i would have added to that list is injectors and cam gears, the cam gears should improve response (only if its tuned properly aswell etc)... with the above you should be able to get 300+ kw at all 4 i would think...

your injectors (if there stok) will probably limit you to around 260ish and stop you from making best use out of the nice turbos you now have :)

hope that helps, although sounds like it may be a little bit late if its going in tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice.

I did consider making more changes but budget and trying to figure out what my plan is means that a couple of small changes now and then probably wait for the inevitable bang before doing more.

On a side note I am looking to change the color of the BBS LM rims, do you guys have an experience with anyone locally? I may just do it myself but if there is someone good then lazyness will prevail.

Nathan does great work

Rims are something you can do yourself but would be better left to the pros

Paint is one thing you get what you pay for and if the finish isn't spot on it will detract from the rest of the car

I can pay t but it is a 1-2 metre finish

That is it looks great till you get that close then you can see the minor blemishes

Is okay for racecar but not my car

Find the best painter you can afford wether it be a panel shop or bike repair/custom shop and get some quotes

    • 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?
