Yeah and it ended up in the creek :devil: .... saw it down at Mantas last week.

I hope this vehicle description is not right - if it is an original (and worth mega $$$) why would you rally it? :P

Negative on the Power FC, Andrew.

I don't understand.

Im fairly sure my #6 coilpacks is stuffed, hence why im changing coilpacks. Once the engine gets warm..after 10 minutes, it breaks into 5 cylinders, and make's WRX owners envious of my engine.

However, tonight, i did not have an issue at all..drove for about 40 minutes, except for this problem of it limiting itself to 4500rpm.

I'm going to have to assume it has something to do with the coilpacks, as the problem has just 'magically' disappeared, but this new problem has come about.

AFM wouldnt be knackered, it would be obvious there was earlier im the rev range i would think?

i dunno what coilpacks u need but i got around 6 here that are 2nd hand for the rb26 - i know a couple are buggered but u should be able to use one of them if theyre compatible with ur engine/ecu setup

If the redtop RB20 uses the same coilpacks as the silvertop RB20 it should be fine.

Was originally going to go with Yellow Jacket coilpacks, from their website $350 for all 6, a pretty nice price, whilst Splitfire were after $700.

Ended up talking to Decs at Garage 7 on Monday night about the problem im having, so he's going to whip up an "AU Folcon Coilpack Conversion' setup, so basically the 'hub' for my coilpack leads will instead of being on the Valley Cover, will be on the firewall.

He's done it for a few of his customers, and all have reported no problems.

Plus, even though i don't want to cheapen out on stuff with this car..i can get it cheaper then $350, plus i like supporting small business.

Thanks for your offers guys, hopefully i get it running properly by mid next week, then on to the tune, hoping like crazy for at least 180kw. Cmon redtop!

To me that's over-complicating a simple solution to a simple problem. I know others will disagree but if it were me I'd just get the Yellow Jackets, straight bolt in, no fuss, no extra looms going anywhere and doesn't look sus. Neat and simple

+1 neat and simple is what you want

I know what you are saying there Heslo and Jenkies, why complicate one small thing.

Kinda having that debate with myself at the moment.

Still undecided, and i havn't actually said "yep, lets do it". So im just mulling it over.

Car won't make any power levels needed to max out the coilpacks from Yellow Jacket anyway... hmm.

lol was mucking around.... but we do live in adelaide :ermm:

on a completely other random note.. after unloading a 40 foot container of water features and unpacking, all day, 9 hours.. i can safely say if i dont get my baby back by friday im gonna convert to the crazy side..

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
