hi all

in my previous post I had a question about the nm35 stage engine vq25det.

the quality and style of these cars is a big bonus as is the power from the engine.

however due to really liking manuals and the ease of modifying the rb25det neo 6 engine.

I have decided to buy a 25t RS Four.

modifications planned once I have vehicle are as follows.

Link G4 plug in ecu ---- everything I have read suggests they plug straight into s2 stagea

Upgraded turbo ---- unsure on what specific one yet.

Electronic boost controller

Inlet air temp sensor

upgraded turbo back exhaust

Return Flow FMIC

AFM delete pipe

the Link G4 ecu comes built in with a MAP sensor so I want to go down that track of getting rid of the AFM

at this stage I wont be after too much power future modifications if I get the itch for more power ill add a front facing plenum change intercooler and upgrade injectors and exhaust/turbo manifold

hope it all goes to plan with no hickups and I will be posting pics I tend to go snap happy

There are hi-flow rebuild options for the standard turbo which should give you enough headroom for a while.

If youre going to start from a stock car, then theres probably a lot of groundwork maintenance to be done in the suspension for example.

work at pedders so shouldn't be too hard or costly to sort suspension out

Hi Jarrod & welcome. Why not buy a clean 260RS straight up & be done with it? For a while at least. :yes:

Cheers GW

I agree, little disappointed I didn't go down this route and settled for a rsfour, when really I should have waited and bought the right car the first time. Now don't get me wrong I love my car but sometimes which I had the manual option.

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
