Stagea Finialy Tuned

[bernardshorty]

hey guys finialy got my stagea up and running .after my upgrades .

first of all i would like to thank advan performance i couldn t recomend anyone else to tune a car .they are the freindlyest people and keep you well informed of whats going on with the tune and what is holding it back.

on its highest power run it ran 255 awk.at 19psi.

they advised me that my turbo was holding anymore power back as it isnt a dedecated externial gate turbo and has a stupid reducer on it for the dump pipe.

as my car is still running standard bottom end they advised a down tune slightly .so it is now pulling 225.8 awk at 16psi to make it safe and have no chance of engine failure.

after it taking so long to finish the mods i am happy as well worth it and the tune was cheap for what they done .

they wired in my z32 set up my e boost and they wiring for my fuel pump shorted out they also repaired that and tuned for under $1000 which i think is cheap.

my mods are high mount gt34r turbo/550 injectors /power fc/sard externial fuel reg/teal 38mm ext gate/e boost 2/z32 air mass meter /front mount cooler /and 3 and a half inch zorst turbo back.

now going a gt35r/forged internials and custom intake which advan are going to make me .and 800cc injectors eventualy .

any way a big thanks to advan /pete and they guys for the tune very happy with it. cheers bernard .

cheers for the PM mate

any chance to scan and post up a dyno graph?

nice effort for sure

but if you are going to go for forged internals, then go on, go to 18psi

:)

awesome effort there.. and good to see you were not just " chasing a number "and chose the less horsepower but more reliability route.

the car must feel nice and rapid now.

shame you cant take me for a rap , but in hindsight its probably a good thing as it would just

depress me that I dont have the $$ to get ours up to scratch

[ssshonky]

and now .. the question on most of our minds is.. I wonder how many L/100km you will get!

[Stinky Rooster]

If you have to ask, you can't afford it

[bernardshorty]

hey stink belive it or not i have to drive it 450 k home and i gave it a flogging and it still got 10 litres to the hundred at a min speed of 100 max of 175 in parts had to try it out it hooks up big time and pushes you into the seat will post up the graphs tomorrow i have 3 boost settings graphs first quick run then 14,5 and 16psi they didnt save the 19psi 155kw one as they only done it to see where it maxed and then down tuned but didnt see the sense in spending more money to do it again to get a piece of paper .

thats right, you have a manual doncha?

*mutters darkly*

OK Now when are you going to give it back bernard............. <sobs uncontrollably>

I knew it was good for 250awkw, great to hear, i really did appreciate your call, and all the help you have given me so far in my quest to find an affordable peoplemover.......... I know I will miss my stagea for a VERY long time................

Time for a quarter mile time? I am guessing maybe low 13's high 12's?

Well done!

I was recently told by some guy in the skyline section that a stagea running 16psi would still be a big slow "whaling boat" and couldn't beat anything...

if only they knew hey...

Great effort mate! All the best with the next upgrade...making us all jealous!

haha my stagea is making 550rwhp+ on 16psi on pump fuel so i think that would shut the skyline lads up abit, the stageas arnt that heavy compared to r34 gtr's etc, they dont understand the flexability of the wagons

[bernardshorty]

yeh would love to see some of those skylines driving around just to see how quick they are

That is a nice power curve!

[Stinky Rooster]

a LOT of people would give their left nut/first born for a graph that looked like that. The torque curve is the stuff dreams are made of.

Well done!!

[Ska]

So when can I have it back Bernard? <drops to the gound crying> Nah in all honesty I am glad Bernard did buy it, he has taken it to the next level, where i would not have been able to afford to take it there, ever.......... Also I know it wont get wrapped around a power pole.

Thanks for treating my baby they way it should've been dude!

[ssshonky]

does the way it builds boost look odd to anyone else? I mean dont get me wrong.. its an awesome result just befuddled by the boost curve.. looks almost like its running the high/low boost settings still

unless that was to " tone down " the turbo spooling up ( ie if boost came on too savage)

and dale.. where did you see the torque reading?

[bernardshorty]

thanks guys it was alot of stress but it payed off but hopefuly mid next year it will crack the 300awk mark need some more killer wasps ha ha. thanks again cy for this beautiful car .and hope to do ya proud at 300awk will even drive to rocky to take you for a spin mate. and if anyone is going to mod there stagea apparently they have a neo head that what advan told me a had so much trouble cause i bought everything for a r33 as i thought it would fit .

[mitchy_]

but i've already got a curve like that dale...

is it auto or manual?

and with the turbo, what if you remove the actuator and weld up the internal gate, and then have an external gate on your manifold? it might just save you from forking out for a new turbo again, especially if you are staying with the GT35R.

edit: i'm not to sure about it having a NEO head... what did you buy that didnt fit?

[ssshonky]

Cy your right about sending the car to a good home.. alas I cant say that about my pulsar ( well I dont really know what its doing now ..)

its nice to know someone will continue to improve on your hard work

[Ska]

is it auto or manual?

Manual all the way BABY!

[Revhead]

Nice work

Cyrus quit yer whinging... you can get your speed fix on two wheels now that you're a bikie. Well, sort of
