power fc will work but not safely and happily. the ecu wont deal with the autbox and assumes its manual. sydneykid has covered this heaps of times and the gearchanges are jerky and not safe/good for the auto box. that being said it wouldn't be impossible for 500hp. youd need all the usual bolt on stuff turbo, exhaust, intercooler, injetors, clutch, airflowmeter, fuel pump, ecu, tyres, brakes, suspension work, boost controller, clutch then youd also need to up the highstall for some fun, strength the auto box, transmission cooler and a very strong auto box. speak to your local auto mechanics place and ask them how much for an auto skyline box to handle 500hp see what they're reaction is, stacks of vl turbos probably get this power all the time and they probably use simiilar auto boxes, maybe powerglide or transbrake ?

having said all that and if you were to look at powerglide/transbrake why not change to manual, then you can get easy ecu options

curly_fry_44 i am looking around 400-450hp at the flywheel, cost me around $15,000 and i got labour for next to nothing through a mate. To get that figure from your car and do it through a performance shop you will be looking around $25,000

got 280 horsepower with a boost controller i am about to high flow the trubo which will let me run alot more boost im upgrading my gear box and getting nos plus i injectors upgrade suspeinsion and i should get around 430 with nos cost around the 5000 mark so yeah

You can get manual valve bodyed and trans braked Jatcos based on VL turbo autos that handle huge power and at 500hp you need one.

The firm shifts PFC and Wolf give autos has not hurt the autos even after many years and hard driving,Quicker changes can even help the auto as its like a shift kit and the bands -clutches lock faster making for less slip and heat.

    • 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?
