A lot of people mentioned the lack of power in the M35 stagea, yet it has more power (stock) than series 1 & 2 stageas. I would say that ALL stageas lack power in stock form.

Obviously a lot less available go-fast bits for the VQ turbo engine however...

I bet a lot of us stagea owners wouldn't have bought a stagea if it wasn't for the RB engine + turbo....true??

RB + turbo + wagon + comfort = all the best bits in one car :laugh:

Not quite true, the series 2 stagea has the NEO rb25det (and intercooler/turbo), and that has the same power as the VQ25DET in the M35.

I never feel like I lack power in my stock standard rs4s - but as it is a series 2 manual it's got 20% more engine power than a series 1 (at least) and no torque converter...

So I suppose the only reason the M35 would feel underpowered is the auto box - and I don't know which one they used in it.. But my R34 with the same power (and the MAT box) goes very well - though it is 200kg lighter than a stagea...

      RB26 Block Filler rigidity/deflection test

      By Triple OG · Posted

      I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Yeah i think that DIS-008 should be ok too but i rather asked. The R8 coils are "sadly" no go for me cuz every solution is for forward plenum. The coils are too tall and one of the(4/5 DK) would not fit under stock J-pipe. And being this NA RB20 i dont even know where to get some forward plenum.(and of course i would need other stuff like custom AFM/ECU etc) and that is kinda non sense for NA without boost. I just looking for solutions for my case 🙂  I try look into those Yaris/Corolla ones.

      Did you hit the one 5 minutes down the road from my place before heading back south? 😛

      Costco uses Mobile as a supplier, I always get Costco 98 when I'm near one, they are typically about 30 cents or more cheaper than the local Mobile
