nice to see you getting there simon, you must be happy to have starting to come together

Why you want to run so rich?

And i'm surprized that after upgrading to the 044 you are still having fuel troubles what is your next step to fix the fuel supply ?

The cams your running are 272hks Yes? what lift ,as i heard danny just snapped a high lift cam and it is not that uncommon that they do (bit of a worry)

And the million dollar question what is your target boost preesure once everything is running right?

Peter. I want to run it that rich just to have a bit of a buffer zone as i will give it a hard time and just want to make sure its safe. Id rather sacrifice some hp and just make sure it doesnt ping. As with fuel thats the most that pump is gonna give at those afr's. Fabs gtr went about the same hp with a single 044 so im going to use 2 with a surge tank . Cams it is using are HKS 272 272 step 2 10.2 mm lift which isnt huge lift as they go up to 11.8mm on some. . As for target boost pressure this turbo should be in its efficiency at 24-27psi so thats what im heading for. Also lift the limiter from 8k to 9k when it has a fuel system to support it.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
