got my stagea running today and it runs awesome, nice and lumpy idle, starts making boost at just over 2k rpm and 130rwhp at just under 4000rpm (revlimit at the moment). cant wait for the real tune and some real boost :happy:

happier than a pig in shit thats the motor runs sweet and no problems :) few gearbox and other issues but thats not a big deal over all

cheers

Brad

cheers guys and the screamer pipe doesnt even have a use at the moment being under 4psi of boost (max rpm i can do is 4k)

yes i built the motor, theres a thread in the forced induction section from my old nickname "stagezilla" and its called "building the jun 2.7L stroker" or something like that, hundreds of pics of the build and the dramas of it all, but welllll worth it in the end :D

thanks

130rwhp... are you sure its a 2.7 JUN kit? JOKE!

My 918.5cc has over 150rwhp hahahaha LOL

again, a JOKE. Please dont flame me, just some good natured ribbing.

Anyways - I give you the FULL FIST :D

Best of luck with the running-in mate, god Damn thats SO hard to do. You want to gas it some, but yet you know you cant. I ended up going on some real long rides just to get the first 1000kms up.

Once I could take it above 6000rpm after that 1000km mark, god damn was I impressed, one of the best days of my life was when the beast was finally let loose in anger..... bejesus that day still gives me the sweats...... and it just keeps getting better!

Awesome work, well done.

Mine was after a full-on (expensive) rebuild with all the trimmings etc, just like Cruiseliner. Problem was Id been riding it for ages before hand ringing its neck, then all of a sudden you need to pussyfoot around for a while, when all you want to do is find out what it can do....! Was hard as!

Good luck with the riding mate.

thanx for the support, i cant rev it past 4k anyway cause the revlimiter is set to 4k and it just bounces off it if i try and rev it. goes really really good even upto 4k it pulls pretty good. its back off the road as of this afternoon, the bloody diff is clunking as the shim thicknesses were not setup properly when i installed it 12 months ago and its annoying the shit out of me. diff is out and ready to be checked tommorow after work and then reinstall it.

next is the transfer case which is whinning like a bitch and is even more annoying, so that will come out this weekend possibly or maybe after i do the 1000km.

done 160km or so, so far. i drive another work vehicle so i dont drive until later in the arvo after work so i dont do many km's. i wanna sort these problems b4 i go racking up too many km's and causing long term damage to the diff/gearbox/etc.

cheers again

Brad

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
