Hi all, having an issue with my HR31. Bought it a while ago and the previous owner had chucked a Silvertop rb20 in it. Wiring is pretty dodgy but it worked so I just left it. Motor ended up having low comp, so bought a rb20 from a ceffy. Dropped it in lost interest in it but now back working on it after a year or so. Connected everything up tried to start it and I have no spark, went over the whole car and found that my ECU isn't getting any power. Now the plug that sits near the power steering reservoir is plugged in and that connection is getting power, but LED isn't coming on, on the ECU. Here's the fun part, I have a lot of plugs down by the ECU that are getting power but they don't lead anywhere. Pictures below are of the plugs near the ECU, any help is much appreciated. Hopefully I've just missed something small or it's a fuse somewhere ect. Cheers

I don't know that anyone is going to have specific knowledge on this issue. (I might be wrog though).

As someone with a basic idea of electronics, it sounds to me like you're on the right track. Just keep following your 12V back to where you can. You might find its something super easy like a termination that needs repinning or a broken wire.

Silly question: Are you sure the ECU is good? What happens if you power it up with 12V from elsewhere?

    • 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?
