The turbos are stock, albeit they are N1 version, same with the block.

Running a set of Tomei cams and Tomei cam gears.

It does run quite well indeed. I'm still pinching myself its a wagon. Power is one thing, and I've been in plenty of powerful cars, including my R32GTR. But its really the handling that has me stoked about the Stagea.

Probably the biggest factor besides power, was wagons handle like boats, or so I thought before I drove the 260RS.

250 is plenty enough power for a daily ride. I dont want anymore more power in this wagon, as I'm finding the power/handling balance is just right.

nice figures. i notice the dyno was run in 3rd gear and not 4th. any reason for this?

what other supporting mods do you have?

exhaust? filter? computer?

I have a S1 260RS stock everything, running 1bar, and its making 230kw....

I don't think the N1 Block and /or turbos were stock on the RS260 so together with the body kit which I like much better than the stock front bar I would say you have picked up a very nice example.

I got the same from my 260. I had PFC and BC. It was great until it went pop. They really need a lot more than 250 to make them fun though as they are such a piggy.

Mine's a little quicker then standard and quicker then most cars on the road (but feels similar to my wifes 34) but not as quick as you would hope as there such a lard arse, mine was 1760kg's on a local weigh bridge. Just need to find another $1500 for mine (not likely) and go bigger inj's afms etc and shoot for 300+

Still nice figures, with the N1's etc you should be able to crack 300rwkw with a bigger fuel system with awesome response.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
