I'm in no way a novice DIYer. Most of my job is custom fabrication.

The high pressure actuator gives in stable boost as the wastegate is held open.

There is no vacuum out put on the turbo outlet so I have used the nipple on the next piece of pipe to the intercooler.

Next point. It's got 6mm of preload because that's all the thread that's on there, at 3mm preload it barely had any boost.

I can make them run what ever psi its required for the application. I was under the impression that you are using it for 250rwkws application so the original high pressure actuator was made and adjusted to suit.

If you can make no boost with actuator adjusted to certain degree means the waste gate setup is perfectly working. At 6mm pre-load means you've already pulled out half of the actuation length then the 14psi creep then drops to 7psi is predictable.

Ultimately it defeat the purpose of building this turbo, I'm looking forward to see you running high pressure actuator with supporting mods making that 250rwkws that you originally ask for. I’ll be happy to supply you with tunning maps if required.

noticed a s1 260 (dunno if it's real)on boostcruising for sale in brissie for $11,000 recently, needed a little bit of work apparently?

ps who knows it might be a real steal.

Guys, let's please keep it on topic.

Thankyou!!

I would of loved to buy a GTR R34. But why would I when:

1) I cant comfortably put the wife and two young kids in it comfortably.

2) Have limited storage in the boot

3) have a much higher purchase price.

4) and also a high cost on insurance.

I love my 260RS. Very practical, not many people know what it is (sleeper), basically its the best of everything!!

as much as i love the stagea, i have to disagree, my favorite of all time is still the Audi RS2, will win just about anything hands down (and also cause im building one but in a coupe shell :P)

I come from the north of scotland and there are quite a few RS2s up there, one guy has a 700+bhp one and its crazy. I used to have a 2.8 quattro coupe, 94 model.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
