Hey guys, I'm wondering if someone can hook me up with a cheap ebc for a 95 r33 gtst. I don't want to do the boost earth mod, just after a controller to run 9psi on stock turbo. Thanks Chris.

Nah, you pull out the boost solenoid, replace the old actuator with the RB20 actuator, block the hose going to the BOV return pipe and drive away with 10psi.

Yes. Leave the RB25 Actuator and boost Solenoid in and Earth the solenoid for 7psi or do my Trick and run 2 solenoids in parallel and get 9-10psi.

It's in the Boost Mod Thread... But why don't you want to do the Boost Mod? It's good, safe and it works all for Free.

Great u know yr stuff, if I choose to earth out the solenoid is this reversible and if I choose to eventually get a ebc will I encounter problems because I have cut the wire?

Wires can be reconnected. That particular wire will not affect anything else in any way, shape or form. ;)

Just do it.

I have done the solenoid Earth, 2 solenoids Earthed and the Actuator. Each was better than the previous.

Also RB20 actuators on mates cars. It's easy as. But the Earthing is Free. Have a crack at it.

You will not regret it.

other than, it will give you a hunger for more of that "untapped power potential"...

Please let us know how it turns out.

Don't forget, you don't have to "Cut" the wire, just strip back some of the plastic insulation and tap a wire into it there, then Earth it.

Do it to the Solenoid not the loom.

Simples. :D

Hi mate, completed the mod, went for a drive and wow, 1st has wheel spin now and 2nd feels more punch down low. Great little mod. I think I need some new coil packs as I have more hesitation in the higher revs now but works a treat. Or I need to regap the plugs as they are 1.1, boost is fun :]

Excellent, Gap them to 0.8mm and see how it goes. (Yes Boost IS Fun. :woot:)

Hey rob, i'm still curious as to what difference there is with earthing the solenoid compared to bypassing it completely.?

Earthing it is 7psi all the time, Bypassing it you will get Actuator pressure only.

(5psi stock) or as you (and I) have done, 10psi.

If for some silly reason you had the R32 actuator and the solenoid earthed and connected, you would get 12psi and it would be crap because of the ECU freaking out due to Too Much Boost / Air.

If either of you bought an SAFC and had that tuned, you would be amazed how much more power you get. :whistling:

(even though in the scheme of things it's not very much compared to the big boys 20psi+ etc.)

      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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
