I had tubo back exhaust, SAFC2, and 10psi of boost before I installed my hybrid cooler. After the install I had to regap my plugs and get the safc retuned as the car was braking down due to the higher and more efficient air flow. Please note thats without increasing the boost, once tuned it made a huge difference heaps more power and I could not notice the difference in thottle responce. Very worth while mod from my experience but do your exhaust, gap plugs to 0.8, and get a SAFC2 or Power FC first. I made 195rwkw on 10psi not holding boost. I suspect I would be making just over 200rwkw now, its holding 11.5psi to red line, I have installed also a sheilded Pod filter and a cold air feed.

I think what most are trying to get at is the intercooler it self won't actively give you a power increase but by fitting it you will enable the motor to produce the power it's capable of by removing the restrictive, heat soaked and poorly positioned factory unit! An aftermarket unit will

A, generally flow better due to the piping and larger core size/design . . . . and

B, cool better due to sheer size and positioning for max air flow through it

So the combination of a cooler charge and less restriction (less pressure drop) = a cooler slightlty higher pressure charge at the manifold which we all know means a better burn and more power!

And alot more consistant charge temps to boot!

So getting a SAFC or PowerFC is the first thing to get then an FMIC???

Cuz i have the same mods exactly..(HKS Pod, Turbo Back, Stock BOV) n running 10-11 Boost... according to the Stock Boost Gauge.. which is 3/4 way up to Full..

Can u Increase the Boost More once u get a FMIC??

Chirping gears doesn't prove a car is fast. It simply proves you have a very good clutch, hard tyres and slam the gear damn hard.

Chirping gears is stupid, it puts un-necessary strain on gearbox's and will stuff your diff early. :(

Every R33 I've seen run more than std boost picks up power when you drop an fmic on them. Its not much, hardly noticable.

R32's... Well mine didn't.

but it's hektik to chirp on gear change.

I can chirp all 5 wheels (including the spare in the boot) 6th gear on my rb20 powered gts4, down hill, on drag slicks..

i have exhaust, filter, 11 psi boost and a boost gauge that has 7 colours.

NO NO NO

Install the fmic FIRST then do a Safc or Pfc.... otherwise you're up for 2 tunes, like me! doh. I had a safc yadayadayada etc, put in an Apexi fmic, too much airflow stuffed up the safc tune, couldnt boot it anymore, needed a retune (although I had a Sitc waiting to be tuned too, so I needed to go on the dyno again anyway)

I should have been more specific like tangles said get your intercooler installed then install you safc or power fc or you will be up for 2 tunes like us. Many have found with the increase of airflow the stock ECU cant handle it and will result on overly rich AFR which causes flat spots hench the recomendation of SAFC or Power FC. Personly I would not run anymore than 11psi

cheers

      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 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
