I dont think we are the best at everything... swimming is one thing you Aussies have on us. Im just saying is that your comments where somewhat unfounded. Pushrods can make power and be very reliable w/ power. Im not saying they are better. Hell do I drive a Camaro, no... cause I dont want some big ass 350cid motor. I like turbochargers and the systems and I will one day have my motor up and running. I also think we thuroughly NINJA-ed this poor guys thread :mad: Also note that not a pushrod nor a (D/S/4)OHC motor dominated the road racing back in the day, it was good ol 1940s Wankel Rotaries that dominated road racing. 787B was a infamous car in its day... back when they used to win something like 80% of all entered events, even AFTER they where moved up to another higher powered class!

Who gives a damn pushrod, rotory, single cam, twin-cam, single turbo, twin turbo. A fast car is a fast car. Respect it. Look at the Porsche excluding the current generation. Up until a few years ago they were still running SOHC and 2 Valves per cylinder. You cannot ignore that.

How bout we stick to the topic!

The autometer Lunar series is back which is basically the same as the apexi EL guages. There is alos the Cobalt series which has a black face and cobalt blue EL back lighting.

The best thing is that u can get a 5 inch EL monster tacho!!!! FULLY SICK!

I plan to use a Blitz BL Series Boost Gauge cause I think they are badass looking. Other than that I like the look of the silver autometer gauges netted into a carbon fibre dash panel. I also think for something like boost I could see getting the more expensive gauges for a bit more accuracy, although my experience with autometers has been good so far. I can only justify the Blitz BL cause it looks insanely badass. We didnt mean to Ninja his thread, sorry. Plus also note that we contributed as well :mad:

I am moving my boost gauge to the left side of the instrument binocle. A mate has his there and it looks pretty cool. And some police have been defecting chrome gauge cups because of glare. Where I went to put this will be down lower than it would be on A pillar, and below the dash line.

This is a permanent solution though. As holes need to be made to secure the cup. And a hole drilled to feed vacuum and electrical lines through.

As for other gauges, putting air/fuel meter and another where the ash tray is. Any suggestions for the other, whats useful to have?

Last question. I have Blitz gauge. Where can I find metric sized gauges cups?

IMO i wouldnt spend big on the gauges cos unless u never take ur car out, some **** will see them, smash ur window and rip them outta ur car like mine wer.

Just my 2c. And FYI i have an expensive alarm, but this was a smash and grab job in my gf's driveway, so there was nothin i could do about it once i was outside.

    • 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?
