Thought id share my first experience making my first DIY splitter.

Im pretty happy with how it turned out to be honest. Didnt want to pay $400 + for one to be supplied from china/japan/usa so i took on the task myself

Tools used -

Jigsaw - Sander - Drill - Sharpie

Material/Cost

Aligloss (bunnings supply) $75

ebay 200mm Splitter rods $20

Time

2-2.5 Hours.

Only thing left to do is go to clark rubber and pick up some U Channel rubber edging/Weathering Strip to make sure it doesnt cut anyone haha.

Very cool! How did you attach it underneath? I will be interested to hear an update the first time you scrape it on something and see if it hold up. With the amount of potholes and spoon drains here in SA it would last about a week on my car :(

its attached to the stock mounting holes underneath for the under tray plastic
I scrape on my driveway anyway. doesnt do much to it. It can flex with enough pressure (cant flex with hands, thats how much pressure)
without a doubt though like any aftermarket splitter it'll obtain damage. im not worried about it in the slightest because you cant see any of it.

    • 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?
