I suspect this topic has been beaten to death more than once but because we love our Stageas so much I thought I would do it again.

I am starting to explore that road of increased power for my Stagea and thinking larger (much larger than factory intercooler) front mounted intercooler is a good start.

Can anyone provide personal experiences or sound advice on brands, model numbers, fitting, etc?

I'm also in the same boat as you are G*4, getting ready to throw an intercooler into the S2.

Everyone will tell you the ones which use the stock intercooler piping are possibly the best option. Unfortunately these seem to be pretty damn expensive (1200-1500 with piping). These would be the Blitz LM and ARC models (with the ARC having a relatively thin core for the price).

Aside from that quite a few people here have just bought cheapies from justjap and are extremely happy with the results.

Currently I'm looking at a halfway approach, not too cheap, but not too expensive. The greddy/Trust M spec series look to fit the ticket; however these might need minor tweaking to fit properly (Cut a hole throw the bay in order to allow a pipe to flow through).

At the end of the day, if you don't mind a large pipe hanging over your radiator and giving you a little less room in the engine bay then you can go for any R33/R34 intercooler, but the installation may be tricky; which at the end of the day is always the issue.

I'm sure other people will be able to give you a lot more information. Intercoolers seem to be a pretty hot topic at the moment.

James, sorry to say mate, but this is the third Intercooler thread opened in this section in less than three days.

It's best to keep all the information down to a minimum number of threads - that way all the information is kept together for easy reference for everyone.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
