Early tuning so far has cracked the 300kw barrier. Has a small misfire up top of revs, threw a new set of plugs in it to see if it helps ran out of time in day. Its still making power at 7400 revs so its promising so far

Gotta love modifying cars.

After taking car back in with new plugs and the thought missfire had been cured, ran it up seemed good to go did a few runs running spot on. Started to get some heat soak into Everything and it starts breaking down again......:(.

Looks like the set of splitfires have seen their day. ( they were on car when it was purchased do unsure of age).

Currently on 18psi its making 317kws which is getting there. Once coils are fixed ( very soon) it will be good to crank some boost into it

Just getting another set of splitfires. Owner thought about copying setup that's on my own car, 6 Bosch coils and aftermarket ignitor pack but plebt people making power no issue with splitfires.

Expecting power to jump up quickly from now. The turbo should be coming alive with a bit more boost

New splitfires arrived and are installed. Quickly threw it on dyno just do get a lot of heat soak in it and load it completely in 4th. No missfire.

Once workshop has a spare couple hours it will get put back on for attempt number 372865 at successful tune.

Sure do I'm over in Bargara, just about to start a little build soon but have bought fuel system components to suit 98. Might have to upgrade once it's up and running.... Good thread mate, very keen to hear how it goes once tuned!

Cool id say depending on project plan it out and spend once, otherwise just throwing money away. From what ive seen and heard the ethanol content is pretty consistent on a analyzer.

We are keen to get some results but it all just takes time unfortunetly

Yeah you're right, the Xspurt 1000's will handle it and I can just use my new intank pump as a lift for a surge tank so that will work out ok. If United remain a reliable source for good E85 then that will be excellent! Make sure you let us all know once you get a tune on ethanol as well :) be very interesting to see the same setup tuned on 98 then retuned on E85.

    • 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?
