Question...

After putting on my new front mount kit I have realised that the old piping had a nipple on the cold side of the piping just before it turns 90deg toward the throttle body, to which a vacuum hose from the power steering pump is connected... The new piping does not have this.... :blink: do i need to re route this? or have a nipple put on the new piping?

Ah, that's not gonna be going ot the power steering... it'll be for your boost controller I'm guessing.

If you don't connect it, chances are you'll get infinite boost.

I'd be putting a nipple on the new piping ASAP.

i know the one you mean, and it does go to the power steering pump as you said. i'm not sure what the pump does with it though, but it wouldn't be a vent if its going back into i/c pipes. maybe some kind of vacuum/pressure assist for the pump? i'd hook it back up with the wastegate/boost controller line.

hi there mate...

what ive done is for my controller taken a reading off the waste gate and then the plenum... this is goingto give you a more accurate reading as its litteraly just as it passes into the engine...

and its on the same pipe just after the throttle body

EVERY thhing eles needs to be blocked off...

what boost controller u running??

on my last s2 i had a nipple put in but the way ive said above is the same in theory.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.

      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
