What Aftermarket Parts For 200awkw?

[SHETLANDER]

I have a 1997 series 1 Stagea RS4. i have been using the search buttons but cant see anything recent for tuning a series 1 but plenty for a series 2. i have the standard car with just a HKS panel filter (not installed yet) and am wanting to get the power up to around 200 awkw and was wondering what parts would do the job?

More than you might think! How much money do you want to spend?

Firstly an 80mm (three inch) exhaust from the turbo back - I prefer the split dump over the bellmouth.

Second an upgraded intercooler. A series 2 or GTT smic will do it but if you think you are going to want more power later you might as well get a return pipe front mount.

Thirdly to make a genuine 200awkw with an automatic awd Stagea you will need a better turbo -e.g. your stocker rebuilt by Hypergear or GCG

The most difficult part with an S1 is finding a way to tune it. I would suggest a Greddy E-manage.

A decent electronic boost controller would be nice .

This should get you 200 -220awkw

And finally you should probably invest in a new fuel pump (e.g. Walbro) as although the stocker may do it is quite old by now and you don't want to be caught out when it packs up.

Also change your brake fluid to say Motul RBF600 get some decent pads and a 24mm solid rear sway bar!

(I'm assuming you already have some decent tyres)

The above post is spot on

Once you start spending money the power goal of a SAFE 200awkw is the same for 250awkw

Set your goal higher, because 200awkw is not enough

hahaha niether is 250kw hey darrin i also agree with kiwi except i wouldn't bother with a S2/R34 side mount intercooler, i don't think they are as good as some people say they are. i noticed heaps of heat soak with mine after a bit of spirited driving. go for a front mount, you can get them in different sizes so you will easily find something that fits the nose of a stagea. you can also get them in turnflow style so all the pipes meet up with your stock ones. the only other thing i'd add to what has already been said is get the auto looked at, a shift kit is a must when running more than stock power.

+ time + money + bandaids + headfark = 250kw.

thanks guys, once ive paid for my trip back to the uk i am going to get a new exhaust and then slowly start building up parts from there.

Sorry Shetlander to steal a bit of your post,but it's a good chance to ask...

So,you can get 200 awkw on stock injectors and pump?(apart for the issue of the age of the last)What about Z32 AFM,is it necesary ?or the stock could be ok ,let's say up to 220?

Freddy, 220-230kw is the max (safety wise) that you will get out of the stock AFM and injectors. Of course, there will be slight variances as per usual with different dyno's. Pushing injector duty cycle % combined with tuning past the AFM is not what you really want.

It would also be a good idea to replace your fuel pump if you're thinking about mods. The stocker would be a bit tired after over a decade of use.
