Modded my boost solenoid, So just a quick post with some 0-100 times on my stock S1 RS4. All recorded on a g-tech at night (canberra = cold)

Before mod (stock boost cut until 4500 rpm)

Run 1: 8.28

Run 2: 8.37

Run 3: 8.19

After mod (full boost throughout range)

Run 1: 7.31

Run 2: 7.38

Run 3: 7.29

worth your time!

Cheers!

has anyone gone to the effort to extend ( what I beleive ) is an easy mod one step further?

would be good if you could get a 2 way switch to allow you to go between the 2?

Ie .. stock setup - low boost till 4000rpm

then full boost from 0 - redline

could be a good thing to do

not worth the effort, leave it at full boost, and control it with your foot. :wub:

Just the standard ground the solenoid so it's open all the time (or just bypass it..) but as far as having a switch for it.. I don't see a lot of point, as it's much more responsive with it fixed, and uses a reasonable amount of less fuel. More midrange = less right foot.

But was good to see a difference in numbers, not just feel. It was mainly off the line where it made the difference. Up to 50 kph or so was HALF the time. I also tried one run with loading up the stall but the brakes couldn't hold it under full throttle.

fun stuff anyway :) I would have done some 0-400m but not a lot of ACT roads where doing 150kph recommended..

I don't suppose you could follow this up with some numbers on your fuel economy?

Anywhoo, thanks for sharing the lurve :)

When I did the mod I went from about 390k a tank to 450k a tank, but it's all really down to driving style I guess.. I'm pretty easy on the car, doesn't spend much time above 3500rpm, but doesn't have to now.. before you really had to wring the neck out of it for any sort of performance, so effortless now. Different car! Even feels better down low than my TT 300zx which is 3L and has 2 turbos (manual)

The mod is just in the sticky section under DIY.. I think it's called full boost modification or similar.. 5 mins work..

its called rb25 boost solenoid mod i think.

essentially you ground the solenoid, so its always open (the ecu opens it at 4,500rpm, so you have 5psi boost to 4500rpm, then 7 over that)

you can either ground the solenoid, or just rip the thing out and join the 2 hoses (make sure you dont use a joiner that will restrict the hose I.D. otherwise you might get too much boost, ideally use a single piece)

very good, cheap mod to perform on the rb25. :)

why not buy a manual b/c and try ten psi, even better :)

mate not a chance in the world anyone would ever notice even if it was illegal...you cut one wire and ground it to the chasis.

the beauty of this mod is it gives you power in the midrange, doesnt affect top end (and therefore should be super safe for the motor). And cost is about 10c...5cm of wire and a eye terminal

      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?”
