Just did this yesterday as Ive done on a few NA cars.

Bottle of Redex injector treatment, pull vacuum hose. Rev car to 3k rpm and place vacuum hose in bottle and regulate flow.

This burns the carbon off pistons, valves etc. Car blew out smoke for a while as it should. I only did a small dose on it and the little pinging that it had before is gone.

But I just thought with the turbo in the way of the exhaust is this not a really good thing to do. I guess all the carbon should have burnt and just turned into smoke before it hits the turbo. Any thoughts. Car is fine and feels good - just wondering if this method is no no for turbo car.

ive done it to my 33, no dramas.

we do it all the time at work... it wont hurt the engine, as it introducing more hydrocarbons, making it run richer... the white smoke is unburnt hydrocarbons...

its good stuff.

cheers

Thanks mate - thought it should be ok but the reassurance is good. Right, so the smoke is only from introducing more combustables for a given air supply causing more unburnt HC to exit the exhaust as there isn't enough obxygen there to complete combustion. Smoked for a while as I left the house to take it for a drive. People must have thought what a bomb!

I thought some of the white fumes etc was the carbon. Or is the carbon just going to flake off..not really sure but the car feels better.

      Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉

      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 🍻
