Morning yall. Not a good 1 though.

So im lying in bed last nite and i hear a car alarm go off. I figure since the4 parents have friends around its gonna be one of them drunkenly stuffing up and making theirs go off.

I get up in the morning and hit the immobiliser when the key is in theon position as u usually do. The engine cranks over but it wont fire :confused: i look at the little batt, parkbrake lights etc and they are all off. The imobiliser is clicking on and off indicators flashing but no dice. I keep cranking it like the moron i am then get out, the fuse in the immobiliser is fine. I disconnect the batt and push the brake for a bit which only reset my clock and didnt do much else.

Any ideas cause i hate paying sparkys

i want pillar mount .... you know the one that fits on the pillar in nice casing ...... i dont want this huge dial sticking out in the middle of god knows where ...... one like yours paul.

But also saying that i dont want to spend a ridiculous amount on a phucking gauge!

Damn Boosty!! ;)

Paul no rush - might as well leave it til i get the veilside on and the car is once again fulltime mine!! and no i havent seriously started job hunting yet.

Aidiwn ..... you need intercooler etc to safely crank up the Boost .... which i dont have .......yet ;)

    • 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?
