good stuff. post up the graph?

Thought about cam gears, but I like the fat low-mid range and am not really chasing peak power. Not sure if they'd make much difference for what I'm after.

Yeah, it was Stu (and friend) who installed all the parts, and did the tune.

He did an awesome job, and is a top bloke as well. I couldn't thank him enough.

Hey Guys,

i got my 260 tuned the other day after running it in after the rebuild.

Basics of the work, full forged internals, sump and rocker baffles, oil restrictor, Sard Injectors, malpassi fuel reg, in tank walbro feeding 2 litre swirl tank then to 044 bosch external, Garrett 2860rs-5 turbos, ems 8860 computer running 20psi it made 420rwhp (313rwkw)

Need to get a set of splitfires to increase the spark then we'll wind it up to 22psi and hopefully reach mid 320's at the wheels, that way completely ensuring it has 300awkw.

congrats on your newly acquired power. How much did you spent on total?

I was planning on the same mod myself but i have to scrap it cos im being restationed overseas. Will have to wait till i get back in oz.

How does the Jim berry's clutch feel? Any hard slamming like a sledge hammer?

Yudy

Very nice work Grim. How did you manage the rwkw figure? (front driveshaft out?)

Jim Berry clutch is a rebuilt factory item. Slightly shorter travel than standard but really smooth (wife can easily drive it).

Nice work guys. It inspires me to begin the mods to mine :)

How do you find the GT-SSs? Not too laggy?

From my knowledge, the GTSS is just right for it. Probably you are refering to the GTRS. That will be too laggy.

Yeah I know the GTRS is laggy as all hell, but the GT-SSs are still going to be slightly laggy. I was wondering how they compare with stock turbos. I really wouldn't want much more lag than stock. The stockers can support another power for what I would want, it's just a shame the turbine wheels are ceramic, otherwise I'd keep them.

Hey Andy,

Yeah dropped the front shaft and pulled the fuses then ran it in rwd as my tuner only has a rwd dyno, waiting to sort a few things then will drop it back into 4wd, i must say, 313kw in rear wheel drive is ALOT of fun though, the "wow did you see that volvo go sideways" looks i get are pure GOLD! :D

Mine with the 2860rs's isnt too laggy, real boost starts to come on by 3500rpm, then acheives full boost by around 4200rpm, so it comes on fairly hard. Its even more fun when it hits peak torque around 6000rpm and breaks traction in all but 5th gear! lol!

GT-SS's feel like they spool up just as fast as the stockers. Don't have exact rpm numbers, but by seat of the pants they are very impressive. Almost feels like a big cube NA motor.

My old RB20 with 450hp bb turbo, had lag. These are light years ahead.

Do miss the sudden boost hit and manic wheel spin though, (damn ATESSA, sometimes i wish i had a switch to turn that off)

Hmm been reading this with interest as i went for the 2860-7's as i wanted the response (there the same as GT-SS??). I wanted 300rwkw with them, might get it. Mine's a built motor with cams, so hopefully be responsive. Will know shortly.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
