Was just wondering if you could help me out..

ive done about an hours research and still fairly clouded

there is a what i will call "air reservoir" half way up the intake pipe

that runs from the airbox to the intake mani..

and there isnt much distant between this box and my extractors

it has melted the bottom of this air reservoir and stuffing out my

revs/time as its bringing air in after the oxygen sensor..

and what i wanted to ask is am i able to eliminate this box all together

i believe the on hose plumbed to this box is idle air maybe..

what to do with this so i never get this issue...

sorry if i sound derp haha.. this has just done my head in

its a pain in the backside

Its bringing in air after the afm but BEFORE your O2 sensor. . .to answer your question i believe the part you are describing is (you have pics?) is a resonance chamber , you should be able to replace it with a hardpipe no worries

there is a pic in my original post man..

i was thinking of just replumbing the idle air hose

from the resonance box straight to the intake pipe

with maybe a one way valve attached.

cause i think its just a throttle body bypass for idle air

is this resonance box shaped and made in a certain way for

any reason?

when i removed the hose from the box..

put a sock over it just to test free air sucking

because the intake pipe will allow a bigger air flow

and my car just either stalling or idles rough as guts

is that just a matter of playing with idle revs and/or timing?

i ended up cutting the box off with an angle grinder fibreglassing

the pipe.. then sikaflexing under the fibreglass.. and then coated

the whole lot in black sika just to ease paranoia.. then cut the nipple

for the hose.. did the same.. and left it all over night.. and she runs sweet

makes an awesome induction rumble haha

also did a fair service as in plugs, oil, filters flushed it all.. runs beautifullyy

and heres a pic of what i did lol

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
