I just bought the stage 1 otomoto kit for my 2.8 'baby' stroker with -5's. I staying with 98 octane pump fuel so I'll need all the help I can get out of my 'street' setup.

I have a couple of neo vct units and a neo solenoid laying around from my 'poor mans' v cam idea, so they will be perfect for this kit.

I'll try to get some results/comparisons once I've fitted it. I'm running a PFC so I'll most likely go a jaycar style rpm switch controller to control the solenoid.

So this is the latest. Got sick of waiting for months for my replacement head to come back from a business I tasked with machining for bigger intake valves and port clean up, so I'll be leaving the old one on. It's already lightly ported and has aftermarket springs/retainers.

After 11 years of running GTR's and twin turbo's I'm going single heheh.

Also got a haltec plat ecu so that will control the vct solenoid.

I bit the bullet and went ahead with it:

Have to sort out my clutch before I can wind the boost up again

Man I want this.

I'm only going -9s so they'll be out of puff at 320-330rwkw anyway on 98, bu the extra response (on an already responsive turbo) and torque would be nice.

How did you go Sean?

So got it tuned with a t51R first= lag monster but was sorta driveable. Sounded awesome revving to 9k rpm...plus screamer heheh, 550WHP @20psi.

Then went back to -5's and got it tuned again. Wow midrange is great and pulls well from down low! (stroker helps there)

What I've found and Yavus at Unigroup already knew is that the 260deg intake cam supplied by otomoto is too big in duration.

I ended up switching off vct at 7000 rpm as that is where it starts to drop off. So (in theory) you could leave a 260 deg cam for example at 20 or so degress advanced on you adjustable cam gear and only nose over after 7000rpm lol!

Max I rev my setup to is 8-8500 rpm so you get 1000-1500 rpm of extra power for $3000...

They need to (otomoto) sell an intake cam that has a shorter duration of say 242-248 degrees to bring down the switch over point and move the whole graph to the left a bit more :)

More development necessary before I'm 100% happy with setup, but in the mean time, in short it's a beast heheh.

I'll post a graph up soon. Don't worry about HP as dyno is a tuning tool heheh. I'll have to take it down the strip to see what MPH it pulls :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
