I will post here cos u can't attach pics to a PM.

You can have it for $40 if you want it - I think it cost me about $60 to get made up.

Pics attached - the flange bolt holes are at a 45 degree angle to each other .... not sure if this is normal, but you would want to check. I hope the pics show what I mean.

I am in Northgate fyi

Sorry, it looks like the sale is goin to Nightcrawler. But, yeah the flanges are meant to be set at 45degrees of each other on the cat. It should be a direct fit to your standard or aftermarket exhaust, provided its not a custom one. In the unlikely event it doesn't fit it only cost around $15 for Profix to knock out & re-weld flanges to align with exhaust.

well, had the new pipe fitted, and exhaust put on. All sounded sweet.

Then had the car put on the dyno where shaun started to give the car a tune to see what she could get.....

Made absolutley SFA difference....the car makes about 133 odd rwkw last time i had it tuned before it started to struggle to make power.Now the top end is better, and it makes a little more power but she struggles like hell.

It topped out at roughly 145odd rkwk then didnt make any more. :) Needs to go back to Shauns in a week or two for some problem solving. Might be cam timing is off, or something stupid like a boost leak.....who knows :(

Im soooo pissed....but the car does sound very nice with its "free flowing cat" now :cheers:

is this power figures for your RB31DET? i'm presuming your engine is fully standard aswell as your turbo? how different is yours to joel's?

Yes its my rb31det.

My engine is built to the exact same specs as Joels. (they were built side by side :) )

Turbo is a rb20det highflow jobbie (not done by me, but previous owner of the car).

My engine only has a few bits like rb20det oil pump (joel used rb25det) bigger fuel system (550cc, 044) and q45 afm/pod. Other than that they are identical.

I had some STR cam gears fitted when i had the motor installed, and Shaun reckons they may be a tooth out. :( I dunno myself, but it has to go back to get it all sorted in a week or two.

Dont worry about it Maxx, we were justy finishing as Joel went to leave....it wasnt gunna make any more power yesterday unfortunatly :(

      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.

      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?
