Engine Detox

Hydrogen Carbon Cleaning has arrived at Terapa Auto Electrical.

Hydrogen Carbon Cleaning, a non invasive way to breakdown the carbon build up in your engine. This will compliment our other engine ‘Detox’ tools like our walnut blasting process and LiquiMoly intake cleaning systems. A great add-on to any tune up, or preventative routine maintenance with the added bonus of potential added fuel economy and performance.

Wellington European – We have had one of these machines in our Wellington Store for a few years, runs on water, no harsh chemicals running through your engine. We trialed a few versions that were messy and time consuming to run. This is an easy to use clean green machine. Runs on Water, Converts to Hydrogen, takes 35 minutes from start to finish.

One of our cars having a Hydrogen Carbon Clean, as well as a stage one remap tune including a cat delete. This was done in our Wellington Workshop before bringing up to Terapa Auto Electrical. Of course all of these services can be provided at Terapa now……

Specialized Testing of Starter Motors and Alternators

Here’s a very specific tool that any/all Auto Electrical shops should have access too and the knowledge on how to use. Cody here is testing the outputs on an alternator, not only checking amperage output, but really putting the unit through its paces, low load, high load, low rpm, high rpm etc etc. Modern times often means rebuilding is not financially viable, however often replacement assemblies aren’t available, and a thorough bench test will give us a good guide prior to strip down. Very Very Cool old machine, a necessity for any Auto Electrical shop.

LINK ECU

We are an authorized dealer for Link ECU engine management systems.. Check out the link website here or take a look at an earlier Blog here of ours which takes a look at custom loom we did earlier in 2022.

RB25DET Conversion and Wiring

Nice project offered up to us to rewire the engine bay in this Silvia to suit the engine upgrade and the new LINK ECU. We’re starting with the LINK “A” and “B” engine Looms, customising them to suit the engine Install and sensor locations. All New Bosch Sensors have been used for Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, Intake Air Temp, which will now be looked after by the LINK G4+fitted in the OEM Location. We’re fabricating our own custom coil loom to suit the Bosch Audi Coils and incorporating the brand new NZEFI Injector Harness. A Franklin Engineering Cam Angle Sensor kit replaces the stock Nissan CAS for more accurate Ignition Timing Control. Stock Style plugs are being used where possible with Deutsch Connectors taking up duties everywhere else. The Whole loom will be protected by Loom Braid.

Boost is provided by a Garret GT35/82R and a 50mm TurboSmart External Wastegate keeps Boost levels in check. Intake Temps are kept in check with an Aeroflow Performance Front Mounted Intercooler.

Below: A big job ahead, initial work. Coil Loom coming together, Earth and Power Cables Waiting for Terminals. Main Harness gets its final Loom Wrapping before Braid goes on and Final Fitment in place. Battery relocation to boot is on the cards too for this Street and Track Weapon. The LINK ecu has been mounted neatly in the factory location, adding to the OEM nature of the install.

Some work on the underside of the car also required, speed sensors, earth cable etc, as well as the beginnings of the battery relocation. We’ve supplied a lightweight, very compact battery for running the vehicle. Looks are deceiving, this wee beast offers a pulse crank of 600A, more than enough to wake the big six cylinder up, even on the coldest mornings! Large diameter Ground and Power cables ensure minimal voltage drop for rapid cranking and less strain on the alternator.

Tyres

Some changes in the building with regards to some extra space has led us to the decision of doing tyres on site. The equipment is in and the suppliers are on stand-by. A huge ranges of brands available from Hamilton warehouses for same day delivery or overnight as required.

And we have just the team to do your professional install. (Pricing is for unit only as at August 2021, Subject to change).
