If are looking for some extra power, I would make the engine breathe a little easier by adding a 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a high flowing cat, I would personally keep the standard air box and just get a high flowing panel filter, but if you like the pod you can go pod. And for the intercooler, depending on how much power you're looking for, a JustJap kit should be enough. Cheap and good enough quality from what I've heard.

Raise the boost to about 12psi and also get a new fuel pump to support. I think that should be enough for now.

I'm not too sure about what exhaust you should get, but if you plan on keeping the stock air box, the k&n filter should do and the cooling pro intercooler kits should do also. Just make sure you get 2.5" piping. You don't want the extra lag from 3" piping.

Have fun modding :laugh:

I just got 3" custom piping for my FMIC, no noticable lag.

I also just fitted a Turbosmart dual port BOV, sounds good and can have the option of plumbed back, atmosphere or both. :D

Exhaust - Fujitsubo, FTW. :P

Yeah? I always thought that the extra 0.5" of piping would cause more lag and throttle response. I guess it does in a way, but if you don't notice it.....

It probably does effect some setups. Sorry for going off topic

      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 🍻
