Big HELLO to you all,

I have been directed this way by Green_Ghost on boostcruising (Myles). First of all just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all who have contributed to the stagea D.I.Y and F.A.Q section, it has been a massive resource tool for me, so once again, THANKS !!!! I have been reading alot lately :ermm:

I recently purchased a 99 Stagea RS4-S with a few mods. It has 3" Stainless catback with Jasma muffler, k/n pod, earthwire kit, HKS SS BOV, HKS hipermax performance suspension, asea rear strut bar, 18" HP Wheels on 235 gemstones and an apexi turbo timer. What a fantastic car to drive, the rear LSD seems so tight, in the wet it's incredible fun.

One question i have though, When i am doing say 100kph on the highway, and i back off the throttle, my A/F ratio heads to 20 and you hear a pop in the exhaust. IF i push the clutch in, my A/F stays at 14-14.5. I first thought it was because the BOV was not plumback, but today i fixed that, and still no joy :thumbsup: Any ideas or is this normal ? I am sure it is contributing to the black soot that ends up powderising the rear end after a week.

Anyways, heres a few pics to show what i got, and would love to meet up with other owners out there

Cheers

Jez

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
