Your car will lose signiicant power if the PFC is tuned for those modifications.

Also running the bigger turbo with stock management is a dangerous proposition unless you baby the car everywhere (dont go WOT or take the revves above about 3.5k) as you risk detonation and engine failure. If you put the stock turbo back on the car would run fine (if a little rich).

Why do you want to remove the PFC?

Thanks heaps guys for the quick repleys and help...

Not sure if im 100% gonna remove the Power fc but my brothers mate offered me $1200 for the computer and hand held controller but i'll probably just leave it the way it is cos i do love my car and dont have the money for any engine rebuild lol

Keep in mind if you can sell the PFC for 1200 and get a stock ecu thrown in you can get toshi (search the traders forum for 'toshi') to remap you standard ECU for around $400 which is a very good option. It will be fine for the mods you have (and as its very hard to detect you wont get defected for it) the only downside is the PFC will be better if you want to do many more power mods in the future (bigger turbo, AFM, injectors, etc).

likely the car will run like a bag of shit with the ATMO BOV.

260rwhp is only 190rwkw, which for a turbo like that is a pretty poor result.

I'd expect closer to 300rwhp at least, and 350rwhp with injectors/AFM

So you wouldnt loose much power right power, would be a bit rougher to drive however as tune could have cleaned it up a bit

I was told that was about the right amount off power for the car as the injectors and fuel setup a still stock...

Also the t4 turbo i have isnt much bigger then the stock turbo, I'm not sure myself im only going on what the previous owner told me.

Its not about right :)

You can take factory injectors to around 220-230rwkw. Every car is different. I made 220rwkw on stock 25 injectors years ago with a T04e, int gated rear.

If its not visibly much bigger than the factory one, then it probably isnt a T04.

Generally a T04 will come with the .7A/R Garrett Comp cover

      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 🍻
