hey everyone.

I just bought an r32 and took it to the dyno because it felt sluggish. I don't no much about the car yet other than it has:

front mount intercooler

3" turbo back exhaust

walbro fuel pump

rb25 radiator

a pod filter with an AFM of some sort. u can vaguely see jecs on the green sticker (could be stock i dont no)

the air flow looked pretty shakey and there is exhaust leak caused by broken studs on the manifold.

the dyno only showed 105 kw. i was told it should run around 140 with the mods and boost its running. (and ofcorse the issues fixed)

my question is can you lose 40kw just from having an exhaust leak and faulty/dirty AFM?

has anyone had similar issues and solved the problem?

thanks

in the pic AFM and filter are out as i am going to clean them tomorro.

what boost is it running? if it is running stock boost (10psi) then i would expect that sort of power output with the issues you have. you wouldn't be losing 40kw from it though unless you are missing half the studs and are running about 14psi. you certainly will gain power from getting the studs replaced

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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!
