What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[pipster11]

Roofracks and bike carriers back on

Almost had to use them the other day!

Also, turbo hunt has gone cold

No matter, I'm off to QLD today (flying) so maybe i'll have a hunt up there for one

[poohkies]

but everything you have written in your above post scares me that your a tuner builder.

Hmmmm everything that scotty has written is fact ,if your scared it should be from the realisation of the fact scotty is correct !!!! I'm not bagging the potential of a well set up 26 at all , I love them! But they are def not the be all and end all of rb's .

Go for gold scotty on 3.0 will be watching with interest , a " similar" set up to what heading for on the c34 ATM.

He is correct is he, I find it funny what he wrote, so out of all the rb's the rb26 has oil issues, interesting, maybe i should get ride of the 26 out of the autech and put a 25 in it, maybe it's a bit of a fanboi love of scotty and rb25's lol want a 25 over a 26 please

Ha ha your as funny on this site as you are on Calais turbo !!! Just keep your auto abuse up and your misguided opinions to ya self !. Let us know what massive power you make out of your godzilla 26 , lol no fan boy here mate !

[4bidn1]

Oh and yes I'm happy having a unopened 25 making more than your 26 stag

[poohkies]

Ha ha your as funny on this site as you are on Calais turbo !!! Just keep your auto abuse up and your misguided opinions to ya self ! Afford lol have a close look at your builds champ . Let us know what massive power you make out of your godzilla 26 , lol no fan boy here mate !

how am i miss guided, and funny on this site as i am on calais turbo? my builds I like to spend money where it's needed, yeah we built a slapped together 26/30 with a spare head and a bottom end and parts that where lying around, everyone made out it was extremely hard to do, took a weekend! Have you? previous to that i've had a mild reon rb30 head on na rb30 bottom ends, considering my car was in burnout comps etc, I didn't really see much reason to put a massive built engine in something that has the potential of getting cooked, that perform very well pissed in 11's with 220kw, So i have better results at the drags on less power than most people but i'm miss informed, Abuse who did I abuse, I was told that the 26 was over rated and I should have stuck with the rb30 lol or better yet put a 25 in it. I'll let you know more probably of what 1/4 it does over what hp it makes, currently my stock 26 powered stagea seems to perform very well to most people modified rb25 stagea's lol and m35's, once again i'm miss informed.

[Jetwreck]

Track rb26 as they have a little more development due to the group a era.

....400m and burnouts rb30! Either way you will always do better with hp development with the rb30!

In saying that if I had a car with an rb30 in it I certainly would not be going back to a rb26! But what do I know....

[Jetwreck]

For the money you could have done a turbo ls1!

[4bidn1]

Hang on so the vl is a 2630 then , not a 26

[poohkies]

For the money you could have done a turbo ls1!

yes i know and that was on the cards, even had an ls1 there, but time is the issue and moving interstate is the next 4 days is the next one

as i've got a forged balanced rb26 in the shed, i would choose that over a standard na bottom end 30, and now i've got a goal to beat 4bidin down the 1/4 with an unopened 26! what have u run down the drags 4bidin?

I'd run a 26/30 all day given the option. Might have been able to power the old wagon into the mid 11's and below, either that or put that nos kit on that I had on the shelf.

oh and, this section has gone to shit

[poohkies]

You would have run a mid 11 or lower if u didn't run it at the hottest time of the year! Imagine how much faster it would have gone if you'd put a 25 in it

[4bidn1]

No 1/4 mile time yet snapped axle at last meet. will run again soon just doing next round of mods

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Are you able to put Autech/GTR shafts in?

[poohkies]

so 4bidin1 your car is actually unproven , as of yet and i'm faster than you down the 1/4 in a stock 26 lol

[scotty nm35]

Unproven on the 1/4? Drags are for kiddies, as it all comes down to the launch, not any skilz... Airport runs would show a different result you would have to agree.

Come back to us when you have suspension that doesn't bottom out when you dump the clutch, and can make it around a track in a decent time.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

It would be easy if it was an auto.

[scotty nm35]

But who wants a 4k stally when driving the kids to school? That's my point, why set up a car for drags when they are primarily used for driving on the road.

[poohkies]

Drags for kiddies, least it proves power not a happy tuner! Car didn't bottom out either so as it's a heavy car and doing 1.80 60 foots I was extremely happy with what my standard 26 did! I'll have to get it on the dyno see what power it makes! What do u do Scotty to fudge the figure? Air temp near the exhaust?
