What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[4bidn1]

309kw @ 19psi dropping to 17 (i think )for my 2nd run in tune on the heartbreaker dyno. Running it rich until full boost tune at 3000kms... 800 to go Full boost will hopefully be around 25psi with the 3076r and Tomei built motor, I guess we'll see where she starts to choke.

Redline is now 8000rpm with the new harmonic balancer, which is entertaining lol. The Old Girl actually feels quick, now to get her fast...

E85 then

That is exactly the same as mine 19 dropping to 17psi made 338 on morpower dyno so if you took off the drop for the heartbrake dyno would be about the same ! Well done what rear did you end up running same as mine ?? Got a dyno sheet wold love to over lay it be interesting , yet again well done:)

Was going to keep playing with stag but the new drag car is taken over.

Ill just retune more boost 21-22psi and turn the water on should do for now .

So coming out on the cruise soon

Cheers jase

Heh, I don't have access to the dyno sheet at the moment, I'm away on work. I have this crappy screen capture from a video of the run taken on my phone.

I'd love to post the video but it'd be way large, suggestions on how to post it may help me though, I have become less computer literate as time goes on.

Still running auto rear, I have been babying it on launches until a couple of further upgrades are made, just bought an apartment so spending on the stag is halting for a few months until I get money back in the bank

It will be interesting to see how ours compare on higher boost, I am really looking forward to turning the wick up and putting all that Japanese forged to the test

This

Oh, 309kw run in tune done on 35 degree day too, 40 in the workshop by 8am lol

[4bidn1]

Yeah you got a fair few $$$ worth of name brand parts in that engine should be able to handle a gut load of boost but I reckon your turbs as mine will will nose over soon after 22ish! Launches will be fine just not on preped track ,have you got an lsd in? What clutch you end up running,

Any way crappy pic and excuse filthy car but fitted my s1 miester R full carbon bonnett yesterday (über rare) very happy

[stageaharts]

Bonnet looks great!

Yeah, will just have to wait and see where the turbo finishes up, but I built the engine with the future in mind, so I can upgrade the turbo if I ever want more power. At this stage I'd be pretty happy with 330wkw on the heartbreaker tbh. Anthony @ Jaustech seems to think that its easily acheivable, he said the engine has so much left in it, which is reassuring .

No LSD, I'll get a manual rear cradle in time, as finances allow. The next upgrade will be DBA4000 33 GTR front discs and matching 33 GTS-T rear discs and ProjectMu Club Racers Pads. I only have a few thousands kms left on my current brakes, so it will be a necessity more than a want.

I have a near new 2nd hand twin plate Nismo GMAX II (that I will sell one day when I get around to it lol) but i decided i wanted a new coppermix instead, so in the meantime I am running an extreme single plate something or rather... heavy as f**k, but holds the power

you two have insane stags!

i installed my cusco coilovers and adjustable arms in the front

sitting pretty now, might roll the backs and drop it a tad more, but dont want to go stupid low.

[stageaharts]

Looks good let me know what you think of the cuscos... where they zero 1's or zero 2's?

[Tangles]

Nice one harts

Engine build specs?

Damn I'd love to go nistune board 6 and bigger injectors

After tune I'm putting it up on gumtree for sale I think.... All in my head, but if I got defected I'm rooted & would have to part it out. Never had an issue, moreso 'whatif' factor.

Will post back after tune with the result. I'd be happy with any result higher than previous tune pre engine rebuild (was 255rwkw at 1bar).

4b, looks awesome mate !!

Bloody hell stagharts that thing is gold dipped you could have bought two units:) should last for a 100 years ! Mines lasted a year of fun with full stock internals making what I do . You should chuck a bigger turbo on it and while your at it build a gearbox and push the mofo.....!

The box seems to be the next weakest link in my set up just waiting for it !!!

You have full tune done for the drags in end of march? Should run it

[stageaharts]

Haha, I have learnt that nothing is bulletproof in the world of modifying But yes, I built it with the future in mind. In the longterm I'm sure I will put a bigger turbo on, bit I'm in no rush

I know what you mean about the box, mine seems to handle it fine at the moment, but I know that 300+ wkw is right on the edge of its working range.

I think that the tune should be done in March, bit the limiting factor will be whether or not I am in the state at the time.

Your car looks very similar to mine now BTW, black/carbon bonnet and black/carbon ganadors lucky I have black wheels hehe

[4bidn1]

Didn't realise you had a carbon bonett ?

[4bidn1]

Wrapped ?

[stageaharts]

Mine isn't, just professionally painted satin black (2008, didn't even know about wrap back then)... was worried about the chances of getting pulled over being increased if it was carbon... but I do love the final motion carbon bonnet for the s1
