What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Jetwreck]

Should I post it??? I don't want the RB guy's getting sad face ......only kidding guy's!

Good for the Stagea community......because we all love kicking the arse of HSV's, WRX's, Legnum's and all in a sedate and comfortable manner.

No sad faces here, it is great to see more M35's getting some good numbers.

yeah, i didn't realise renaults could go so well

touche'....lol!

Chris (Spoolin) and I did a dual intercooler install.

Fitted HDI coolers to both our M35's. A big thanks to Cam for organising the group buy price! They came very quickly which was great. Also thanks to Mum for letting us come round and make a mess in the carport!

I also have some 33 N1 inserts, but havent decided if I will fit them. I think that alot of the cooler is hidden and could do with the extra flow, but dunno if it will stand out too much. Might paint the cooler black.

Awesome mate. Great to see some strong numbers at an almost stock boost level!

(bit safer than 20+psi on a lean tune, eh?)

[PN-Mad]

Vote +1 for NO inserts. You don't have an ARX therefore don't need ugly bits. And you'd have to Oxy some holes in that Aluminum Bumper support thing to actually get a result.

Changed the oil (GW Sougi 6000) and filter on mine today, in prep for Putty Road (look at NSW events for details PLUG) tomoz! Strangely, not as much came out as I put in. Prob have one of those magic VQ35's that disappear oil doesn't leak, doesn't blow smoke. Who knows. Hasn't really lost that much in 5000km. Probably all sitting in the Plenum!

Oh, edit - Nice job Craig. Glad that all the trouble has finally paid off

The most impressive thing to me is the torque figure. MAAATE.... that is AWESOME. Nice work.

[bubba]

Be nice to see the start of the torque curve, what sort of revs do these things pull? torque seems almost up there with the twincam 30's over here.

[scotty nm35]

The start isn't conclusive as the torque converter isn't locked and the car will kick back if not at a certain speed. You can see the converter locking as the dip at the start.

Rev limit is set at 7200 but they usually shift by 6500 anyway.

Not bad for a GT3071 in the stock housings, Garret .82 wont do that much better, its down around 10kw less than their housings by the looks of it.

May have to upgrade. lol.

Nice....me likey....

Yeh that figure supprised me as well.....it's like a train all the way through third....just never backs down.

Me one happy chappy ATM....btw thanks Scott for your help..was worth the battle.....oh and I take back my comments now about the turbo being to big to work with this motor....maybe I did make the right choice afterall.

P.s fuel consumption is down 1.5lts per hundred on the freeway.

Ha, it just keeps getting BETTER! Goes to show you can have your cake and eat it to. Do the job right and reap the rewards. I am in total AWE.

I want that torque and the economy.

[bbenny]

Gotta be happy with those results craig! cannot wait for you to take me for a spin some time

Almost finished the N1 inserts - just gotta paint them blue and glue them in place properly.

It was a bit fiddly cutting through the front reo. Used an angle grinder and hacksaw to get through the center beam.

You can see that the cooler gets so much more flow now. and im pretty happy with how it looks - still need to paint the cooler black as it yells out "MODIFIED"
