a $30 filter could cause over $2000 of damage. it happened to macka 6 months ago

Don't know what it is with you guys and pods.

Have had 2 xR's with em on , took em off , put std box back in with K+N .

NO difference at all, well none you would notice on the road.

Ken,

True, but I can shear off a sump plug:p

See'ya:burnout:

Sad part was , it wasn't the sump plug , just the aftermarket insert.

* hmmm , can't even recognise a sump plug *:P

Cheers

Adam,

Your still getting a workshop to replace the valve right?

See'ya:burnout:

Hope it is the valve and not just a lump of carbon stuck under the seat.

Adam will be pissed off .

Cheers

i got a headshop lined up for next week

unless its something rediculously simple like a bolt stuck in there in which case tristan should know what hes doing. well have to wait and see, should be a bit of a learning experience nontheless

If it's a bolt stuck in there , you are gonna NEED a headshop cos the valve will be bent , seat scored and hope it hasn't peppered the piston.

Cheers

Ken

    • 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.
