    Better battery has cured most problems on this. Just need to sort the gas change-over problem now along with a new mirror and she's apples

    As everyone has said, at least she had the decency to reply. Now it's just a matter of disregarding all that crap. Strip it out. Work ou what you can salvage and re-build with a firm plan.
     
    Wagoon has offered his time and I'm happy to come and have a look as well. I'll be down in Brissy shortly to do the start up and tune on wagoon's roller cam donk and I am more than happy to lend a hand (no cost) if you need/ want it.

    Wow. How does a stock computer have 2 tune settings? Bunch of shit IMO, wouldn't trust that info. Check it out yourself piece by piece and approach everything as a stock component.
    Good luck with it all, theres bones of a decent unit there

    I'm using an e-series 109?amp. Cant remember how many wires it uses but it charges my boot battery perfectly. All I did was changed the serpentine pully for a stock XE pully. It's practically a direct bolt on, you may have to space it backwards or forwards depending on positioning. You can see in this picture the ungraded alt in stock location.[/url]

    So I did that alt about 6 years ago so I can't remember much about the install. FWIR it was rattle off serp. pully, rattle on v-pully then check for free spin.
    These EA ones sound good though, there was no way known I was getting 12v across the terminals in the boot with my standard 35amp alt. I was constantly getting bat flatterys and it was especially annoying considering it was my daily. Then I woke up to myself and made it a fun car only.

    FYI you could run E85 and water injection in leiu of an air to air if you were clued up enough. I know of a guy that has done 3 LS1 single turbo setups that have used that system to make 600hp. But he always had packaging issues and thats why he did it.
    Anyway, back on topic. I'd be starting that wiring from scratch, talk about a fire hazard
