Atuech Stagea Engine ?

[Moff]

Hi Guys,

I'm from over in the Uk and have recently purchased an Autech Stagea, in quite standard form. It has a Nismo ECU and lots of other Nismo parts. Question is, what engine does the car have, is it a Nismo Block and turbos ?

How would I find out ?

Post up your vin no and someone may be kind enough to look it up on the FAST system

The Stagea 260Rs was built by Autech from standard RS4T off the assembly line. There was a smaller number of these made as Nismo versions with more power or you may just have the RS260 intowhich someone has added the Nismo goodies.

I've had a quick look on fast, but doesn't seem to give much info on the engine and turbo itself

wgnc34-105842

I had it dyno'd at 1 bar, managed 315 BHP hubs and 305 lb/ft (de-cat, exhaust and Panel filter) on a RWD dyno.

Is there anyway I can tell what variant ?

Stock 260RS's has R33 engine's, just normal 05U blocks, not N1's which is commonly beleived, they also only have stock 33 GTR turbo's.

Depending on the dyno 315 at the hubs is close on 1bar for stock turbo's etc.

Can you post up some pics? Never seen a Nismo Stag other than advertisements. Porn.

I do not know if it is a Nismo version, that is what I am trying find out... Can anyone with an Autech confirm if their ECU is the same as mine ?

The number plate came with the car

Haven't got an AWD dyno?

Couldn't be stuffed ripping out the front shaft and fuse to make it run in RWD?

Don't stress!

Just jack up the front of the car with two standard jacks to get the front wheels off the ground and start your power run!

Can't possibly see anything going wrong here...

OMFG.....ROFL....just realised....nah there not doing that are they...

BTW....love the RS260.....there an awesome wagon once you get em going.....still wish I had gone that way instead of the M35!

it's okay chassis dyno... Rear wheels have been removed and the hubs are actually bolted to the dyno...

Given that they advertise as Skyline specialists, I would imagine that this is farely normal for them...

To answer the original question, you've got an Autech 260RS that was sent to the Nismo Omori factory for Sports Resetting, which included and intake, computer and plugs. Think of it as a remap (a very expensive one, I might add) that gives you probably 30bhp over standard, but it's mainly designed to boost torque across the midrange to compensate for the thing being so heavy

Thanks for the pics anyway moff, Nice wagon! Looks just like mine used to..........only much cleaner. The reason I wanted to see a pic btw is the Nismo jobs have a different grill, same shape as de pulsar gtir. Or at least the pic I have seen did. Would be able to tell straight up if she was the Nismo version in that case I reckon. No doubt others will disagree but my 2c.

Thanks for the updates chaps...

The intake does say Nismo on it....

More I can find out the better

Just changed the cat to a de-cat, and it was a racing cat that was in there.

You guys are right

So far it seems, ECU, racing cat, induction kit are different.

Does anyone know of any other differences I should look for ?
