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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
