Hey Folks,

Over the past few days the Stag hasn't been its usual self...

The main 'obvious' thing is when the turbo is hitting full boost (spikes to 12 then sits flat at 10psi) but you havnt got your foot flat, just enough for it to hit full boost, the turbo is cutting in and out... Sought of a bumping basically. When the foot is flat to the floor it will just hit 10 psi and sit flat, doesnt cut in and out...

Now, what the hell is it? Kinda annoying me...Anything serious? Or just a minor issue? Has only been doing it since we installed the bleed valve.

Cheers Guys,

Chris

PS - Would this be solved if I were to install the Jaycar Gear? :P

Got the same idiosyncrasy (sic) on mine after I installed a Powerup MBC. It spikes to 11psi when you stab the fun flipper then it settles back to 10.

An R33 mate reckons it is b/c of the length of tube running to the MBC is too long and turbo is overboosting ( as per my setting ) before the MBC registers and actuates the wastegate.

Dont know if this is true or not, but it doesnt seem to worry it at all and I havent popped any hoses yet.

But it is all the more reason for me to get that Jaycar IEBC sooner then later.

OK Guys! More Help needed.

Right, my old man was driving my car, about 3000rpm just starting to spool hard and "Psssssttttt" kinda like a blow off valve. Didnt sound right though, so we pulled over to see whats the problem. popped the hood and gave it a rev. Turbo isnt spooling anymore! Not at all! I think I may have blown a hose somewhere given the noise. Please please help me. Cannot drive it in its current state

Cheers,

Chris

My first guess would be an intercooler hose has blown off, check them all.

:D cheers :D

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
