VZ?.... to R145? ... What??   I googled this and found this http://www.vk2bv.org/museum/k-files/r145.jpg

A R145 Receiver? Sorry for my lack of knowledge but I don't know quite what R145 is can you please explain what you meant?

Would this RBG wiring work on Component RGB?

To make things a lot simpler, just connect a wire from the pin where VZ would be on the expansion port to the middle pin on a RCA jack for video. The capacitor is not necessary. You can either come off the pin on the connector on the back and make a cable or open up the console and follow where that pin connects to the pcb and solder a wire on there to your jack. Dont forget to run a ground to the other pin on the back of the rca jack.
The RGB could be tapped to make comonent but there is more wiring involved. You'd have to make a circuit to convert the RGB signal to component which is a lot more complicated. Start with the simple composite mod first.
Hope that helps 

oh i got that part of what goes where on the wiring part it just i the cap part i was confused about mainly. I wasnt sure where to connect that up to. So the Yellow cord, wire to middle pin of RCA to VZ, get the ground shielding connection of the RCA Yellow outside round cylinder and connect that to the ground pin;  But put on a cap in the RCA wiring between VZ - to GG (ground). because I would love the clear picture instead of the base picture?

I guess describing on what to do is a little more hard for me but im rather easier to understand the wiring set up if there was a wiring diagram xD.

I found this guy who did a RGB mod to Scart.

I thought it was interesting.

The turbo doesn't output component.  You can wire an HDMI cable up to the expansion post, but you have to completely strip one end and connect each wire individually. PM "Professor Professorson" about it.  He has the schematics.

Very interesting o:... So wait if it doesnt Do Component out.. Then on the other website here http://www.gamesx.com/misctech/pcebp.php

the pins on the right say Blu Gm Red, Thats not component? Thats why I asked the question I thought it was the RGB out so you can try and get the signal sent to a component. But it would work on a actual PC Monitor hmm.

Here is the info for the tg16 expansion out

Diagram from the back of the PC Engine/TurboGrafx, right side up:

AR GG 01 VM 32 30 27 GG 17 20 22 23 13 11 10 08 GG 05 03 GG VV VN VR
02 CD 35 34 VU 29 26 15 19 21 VJ 14 12 VG 09 07 06 04 24 VT 37 36 VP
AL VV VS 33 31 28 25 16 VL VK QQ VI VH QQ VF VE VD VC VB VA GG VZ VQ


VZ -- External composite video, connected to R145. Note -- this may need
to be externally bypassed to ground with a capacitor to use directly
as a video feed. Also used as a vertical sync signal for RGB
connections.

VZ and GG -- Similarly, connect GG to the "shield" and VZ to the "signal" of
an RCA cable. This connects to the Video In on your TV or VCR.
For a clearer picture, connect a 0.1 uF capacitor between the
two terminals on the side of the cable that connects to the
PCE/Turbo.

Connect a 0.1 UF cap between the two terminals on the side of the cable that connects?

You just stated Two terminals: Which Terminals are you referring to? Cap between GG and VZ in  the wiring of the RCA Cables? im kinda lost as to where your stating to install this.

I need a better explanation as I am a bit confused x.x.

VR/VP/VQ/VN -- If you have an older RGB monitor capable of horizontal sync at
NTSC frequencies (around 15 kHz), you can use it as a monitor
for your PCE/Turbo. Connect VR, VP, and VQ to the blue,
green, and red inputs of the monitor. Connect VN to the
horizontal sync input, and VZ to the vertical sync input. If
the monitor only has a single sync input, use VZ. You should
have an incredibly clear, crisp picture!

NOTE -- Most modern monitors will *NOT* sync this slowly.
Monitors of the "Sony Multisync" variety of old (e.g. the
"2A") are capable of syncing to these frequencies. Also,
monitors marked as "Amiga Compatible" should sync to the NTSC
frequency as well.

Would this RBG wiring work on Component RGB?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: turbo grafx 16 repair]

I have a Turbo Grafx 16 that was in storage for like three years.. bad thing was. my Grandmother moved it to the outside storage shed that forced the system to be subjected to extreme conditions of heat and cold damp atmospheres.. . The heat was soo intense that wires that where sitting on the top of the console literally melted onto the top of the black bezel as well melting the bezel enough to the point it left marks and groves into it.

I'm tempted to have this unit sent in for repairs. I don't think I can repair it my self; could try cleaning the HuCard slot a few times and resolder condition it. But if the Processor or the work ram chips fried from the heat then I guess im SOL and will have to send it in to have it fixed. I went to that Arcade Components website and emailed them a service request ticket.
