First, I want to say, thank you to everyone. Some of the information I have learned through these forums have been of huge help so far.

 

I have owned my 97 Nissan Stagea RS Four for about 4 years now. Only have a few small bolt-ons right now, but looking to restore her to a more glorious day. Currently have a stock RB25DET with a HKS filter, Blitz upper exhaust pipe, and a Fujitsubo exhaust on Volk wheels lowered with Tien shocks. Bought it as is, but i have some pretty basic dreams about getting her to around 300-350 WHP and just keeping her clean right now. future modifications are: coil overs, turbo outlet, high-flowed turbo, intercooler and associated piping, and maybe a few more bolt-ons. As much as i love this beauty, i don't want to dig to deep into the block or head unless absolutely needed. Currently living in Japan, and moving back to the US in a few months. Thanks again for all the help, and I can't wait to learn as much as I can.

Welcome Brad! 

I love a good Stagea!!

You'll have no probs hitting 350HP without going into the engine. Decent cooler, turbo upgrade (maybe even just high flowed? Others on here can confirm), more boost, full exhaust, maybe ECU and cam gears will get you close. 

Will you have any probs taking her home?

Love that you also have one of the Kei ABC's.  I'm a massive fan of them, and have an AZ-1 myself!  I have very similar short term goals on my Unicorn as well, but my long term goals are super sleeper wagon.

Nice to meet you!

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      1. Factory knock sensors for now, honestly the RB26 OEM knock sensors seem ok as they're flat response instead of resonant type but they appear to be internally grounded to the block. If I do replace the sensor it would just be to get ones that are not internally grounded so a differential input can be used to reject common mode noise. Definitely plan on fixing this as a part of the tuning process. 2. Never deliberately induced knock, though I guess I could try that experiment if I really wanted to. 3. All of this is basically on a stock engine + ECU, only modification is HKS GTIII-SS turbos and a Nismo plenum. Currently I run it with the wastegate solenoid unplugged so it won't try to raise boost past wastegate pressure.

      After being peer-pressured into paying $100 for the MW remakes, got BO6 on XBox Game Pass. I think that's worth it.

      That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁

      No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.
