Finish off these clear lenses and get the e85 fuel system and tuned, but i saw a larger hks exhaust housing so tossing up putting that on for the new tune, perhaps not...

Then get either half cage or harness bar so i can finally fit the takata harness i have and also a passenger rail so i can fit the other sparco fixed back i have

what makes you think the stock radiator will give in?

what like, not be enough to handle the heat or just get old and not work properly no more?

Yeah I think the heat gets too much, there really thin and old, mine gave up after a few dyno runs of 320kw.. just got it home, turnt it off and she opened up.

I had my radiator crack at SMSP last month. Really wasn't expecting it to go considering I'm making <200rwkw but it was a hot day..

Yep and mine blew the top tank off it a few months prior to Matts letting go, considering the cost of an engine rebuild i would be doing it ;)

Oh and its also more bling lol

Well ill wait till i can see the budget for a decent koyo rad...

Yep i need to post pics of the indicator lenses installed, they look cool and have wanted to do it for so long..

Do your research on Radiators... I had a choice of Koyo vs PWR vs Racepace and had to learn quite a bit while choosing... Bigger isn't always best ;)

So im thinking i will have to roll the front guards and maybe a pump if possible to fit 17x9 with 265 rubber, if anyone knows someone to do it on the central coast that would be helpful...

Another track day coming up too, so need to replace clutch and general stuff like oil & filter change, bleed brakes and bleed brakes.

Hope to have temp sensors installed in plenum, turbo exhaust housing to see changes in air temp before and after ceramic coating to all intercooler piping and plenum... If i can get the time to dismantle and and reassemble... Fingers crossed!

    • 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?
