only a bees dick of room for the turbo didnt think it would fit for a mo!

Exactly why I figure supercharged is the better option, despite the fact that the oil filter needs relocating and the power steering needs a little rerouting too.

my mate put the vortech kit on his 350z and got an extra 60kw at the wheels.

mine is on the dyno right now so i will be interested to see what gains i get.

pick it up in the morning so will post results tomorrow night

That's 81 hp at the wheels which is ok however the kit has a crap pulley as standard.you can get a different one to up the boost which is his next move.that means more money and retuning but if you change the pulley you can kiss any warranty you get goodbye

hp at wheels untuned tried a few different ecus with limited success haltech want me to ship car to nsw because they've never done an auto before but thats not gonna happen wired a new ecu up last night and its doing everything it should but not counting my chickens. if no go then off to to-mo for the uprev osiris but thats not cheap

You can do Uprev for 1/2 the price of a Haltech.

Auto can be done with a Haltech - but its not easy, and I suspect that no-one in the west has done one before. It was described as "hell to wire in" to me, thus I went uprev.

Please tell me your not running the car up to full power with no tuning? If you continue, you will break the motor.

no mate just one careful run to get an idea as soon as it was lean we shut it down. The new ecu works well on auto xr6ts so should be good. All hooked up with no issues, dyno shortly. The 123456 firing order was a surprise though.

    • 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!
