Stagea Turbos

[michaeljquinn]

All some advice here please :wassup:

Getting a Stagea 25tRS-FOUR V (yes I know the auto, but

not all of us can afford the 260RS)

The engines the 25DET, does anybody have

details of the turbo (ceramic or not ??) and what

sort of maximum boost levels I can run without

screwing the turbo or ping

(used to have a VR4 and that ran 18lb no probs)

Once I get it complianced and registered, I would like

to do the std turbo things

1 - 3" mandrel exhaust, high flowed cat

2 - dump pipe from turbo

3 - decent intercooler

4 - decent boost controller - any suggestions guys/gals ??

Well the engine is standard issue RB25DET, so should be the same as any R33 out there, unless somebody can correct me(? )

nice to see something different.. post some pix when you get it!

yeah that's my understanding too, except that post 98 cars are based on the 34 RB25DET NEO. All the standard tricks should work

Hope so...my stagea's gunna get a bit of work too...time for some unstockness

[benm]

Do you plan on changing the airfilter Duncan ?

Duncan - that would be anti-stockness :P

michaeljquinn - RB25DET std turbos have a ceramic exhaust wheel - not good for anything over 12PSI.

Boost Controller - I can't fault the Turbosmart e-Boost (except that it looks ordinary) it does a great job !! Go for an EBC - not a bleedvalve.

Post pics of your Stagea when you get some.

I can't wait until we see some of these on the road !

I reckon the GTSt brakes swap is mandatory.

AFAIK they all come with the lame NA single piston brakes.

In a car 150+kg heavier than a 33 and just as fast.

You know this is the most important mod you can do.

if/when the race car is up to scratch, my Stagea will be getting a very serious destocknising.

Tony, I also thought they were only twin piston front calipers....so some nice AP racing 6 pots are a the *long* list.

Watch out b-man, my block of flats is going to hand your whale a spanking at WSID

(one day)
