mine is costing over $7,000. the bottom end should be capable of 700-800hp i would guess specially with the inturnals they have put in it. with the proper bold on mods etc. but thats just a guess at the moment. running around 18psi i have been told that i possibly make 300-320rwkw

hey tangles, im getting the motor in the 260 rebuilt at the moment, to make a short story its costing me about $5500. Oh and cos i dont get it back for about a month i got bored and bought a 97 RS4 from nsw, should get it friday!

You're a madman Ben - I like your style.

Rebuild due to "issues" or purely precautionary?

hey fella

i didnt get a chance to have a look as i was running late..

out of curiosity what does $7+ k buy you these days?

and where are BDT getting the machining done?

whats included in the total build up from BDT?

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

hmmmmm....focken air con has died in my bedroom...grrrr

stupid airwell shieeet

chops the engine rebuild was due to the car dropping the bottom.

danderman4 not too sure where they got the engine machining work done but ill find out, i have asked 1 guy(1 of the apprentices) and he wasnt exactly sure.

the build from bottom up is that i can remember:

sump baffle kit

new oil and water pumps

gates timing belt

acl race series bearings, pistons(20 thou over), rings and gasket kit

eagle h beam rods

aero speed cam gears

new complete engine hose kit

new head bolts

work which was done on the head and block(not sure what was done off the top of my head what they did)

thats about it that i can remember for now. i know there is still 2 engine mounts getting done and the abs unit is getting replaced

Ha ha! Thanks chops!

Rebuild is due to issues, basic issue being i blew a turbo seal and it syphoned all the oil out of the motor and did in the bottom end! Not happy, but what can ya do, atleast it will be built stronger and i will know what condition the motor is in!

Got my RS4 on the weekend, not in bad nick, needs a few things cleaned up but isnt bad for the price i got it for. Now i realise the difference between an RS4 and a 260RS though...lol, funny how they dont go aswell with only one turbo! lmao!

Ha ha, no drifty's yet, its still cleanish so i stick to the bitumen, once its ready for a wash ill go for a spin on the dirt!

Not going to bad otherwise, considering its an auto 25 that is! lmao! Will feel funny when i get the 260 back!

yes, got the abs unit from the good guys down at nisswreck, thanks guys!! get that up 2 blackwood asap and hopefully i got me car next week!! woohoo can wait!!!! cant wait to come on another cruse with you guys!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
