Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Nah Marko. The 5's and all the pipe work will go on a shelf in the garage all wrapped up. The condition is that this precision must beat the -5's in all areas!

Jez matched the -7's with a 6262, you'd think I can match -5'a with the next size up.

Also, spoken to Yavuz about engineering it AND passing emissions. That was another 'condition'. Both he said would be no problem.

the turbo size doesnt matter much for emissions testing, bigger is better in that regard as it doesnt come on boost during the test.

cams are another matter, you dont want big cams when going for an emissions test. good cat and some E85 will make passing pretty easy.

mine passed with the 3L and 35R on a euro3 cat.

Oh i know, but when a little SR is beating your -5 graph both down low and up high with one of these things, not to mention Jez's result it's really saying something.

If it's a huge flop then nothing is stopping from bolting the little baby -5's back on.

The overlay graphs from the other day seem to suggest there is not as much in it as everyone is saying, at least @ 20psi - and given you will run more with both...

Big call you are making here.

Lucky you still live with ya mum.

I reckon the -5s will fall over at 25-26psi and the PBT will b good for 30+!!!

f*k -5s....

Just because you can't fix your 40rwkw hole :thumbsup:

Plus for a car that gets street/daily driven running that type of boost is just asking for problems IMO. So much stress and pressure on the entire system... Not to mention if you do track days as the heat would also be a factor to consider. Hence all these Time Attack cars you see running 30psi+ are generally one-lap wonders before the heat sets in. You won't see them doing 5-10 hot laps :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
