yeah sorry, not trying to alarm just inform.

also the other issue for excessively rich tune on a new motor is fuel gets past the unbedded rings and into the oil...and petrol is terrible for bearings.

I know.

Every time I fill my tank I spin another set :)

just about back to the original thread topic, my fuel is too rich and then once it is leaned out a bit, will it give a better power result..

I know now that after a short time with new plugs you can feel the car getting more sluggish and it is not long before it wont rev much past 6000rpm without playing up.

needs more WOT.

Lower compression, thought it was the same, maybe a little different with the lager capacity ?

Maybe because I suggested they did not install the starter motor properly after the build. It was OK before then ?

I love it when people say it was OK when we tried it , but the problems are there the first time you drive it out of the shop , farking black magic :merli:

have had many "could not fault" issues.

One in particular.

Hyundai imax.

Stalls randomly.

4 service staff drove the car over 8 days(randomly and myself included).

Didn't happen once.

Customer comes in, drives, stalled.

Still trying to figure it out.

Just very hard as we can't replicate, so don't know if what we have done has worked.

Windsor exhaust did the mid muffler and i did the rear cannon which i made out of a HKS Super Drager

+1 for Windsor exhaust (west Sydney).

Built my 4 inch system, fairly quiet, just the way I wanted.

Fingers crossed this gets sorted soon.

Got everything X ,

All very frustrating , when you think they are putting the right bits in to make everything work and one keeps finding shit that is not up to the job, now the down pipe is too small :(

Paul was saying this exhaust system should never have been built this way in the first place for this build, should have been at least 4" through to the tail.

I think he said he is running twin 3" , that makes mine seem very inadequate for a 3.2 .

Any other suggestions , trouble is I feel like I have spent enough and I know I should bite the bullet and go 4" , any idea what this would cost, The old one cost about $3500 including the down pipe, they just used the old 3" Cat.

Hax near parra (can't remember his shop name) is the best guy for that job pete..

I got my exhaust done for a lot less then that and it's very very good quality steal, workman ship and I dare say there was more labour then yours by the time he did the turbo side and intake too.

Even welded new brackets for my cooler and bored out the compressor outlet of the turbo.

I can tell you I would have had a lot of change left over for 3500!

What size is that 4"

Here is the final Dyno tune , he said it had back pressure as the 3" exhaust is too small, I said he had a 3.5" fitted but it turns out only from the Cat to the tail and the down pipe was 3"

Yea 4inch to the cat.. 3.5 after.. Your turbo is bigger then mine pete

If I run a 4" to one of those Venom 5" and left the 3.5" exhaust system on , would that work OK ?

You know I am not chasing a zillion HP, just want the farking thing to work

That's exactly what I'd be doing.

Heaps of combinations, but you want to try keep it legal as possible (probably isn't anyway :yes: ) and flow well. So the 4" from the dump is the best as you want bigger there. Then stepping down to 3.5" after the cat is perfect and can muffle some of the noise generated from this beast.

If you didn't have to worry about emissions or noise, which would never happen in the real world, then the perfect idea would be to just route a dump pipe out the side of the car.

Yea that would work fine I reckon mate

If you do the Math, the area and flow of a 4inch pipe is soooo much greater then 3"

4" is equivalent area to twin 3".

My 4" in mild steel with cat, mufflers and welding the wastegate was 1700.

    • 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?
