Just giving you a heads up :P

I've just finished my application for the Legnum VR-4 (EC5W) and their Galant sedan counterparts to be approved for import under the SEVS regulations. Should have an answer in a month or so. They're coming to get ya'!

lol. only way that could keep up with a double unicorn would be if you had twin ramjets in the roof locker.

hahahahahahaha.

I woulnt compare the legnum with anything other than the 260rs, the whole twin turbo thing has to vs nissan twin turbo power.

A legnum is a twin turbo (3000GT engine), 4wd manual wagon thing :wub:

I wouldnt give up the availability of parts for the nissan over the legnum, as the legnum wouldnt have any SK group buys or anything :P

I have driven both the tt Legnum and the 260rs in stock trim. The 260 will own it every time. The Legnum is a nice looking car though, I'd hate to work on one though.

lol - look at them all jump in to defend!

I used to own an EC5A Galant VR-4, as far as I know the only on in Oz. Now resides in Sydney. Mine was manual with Active Yaw Control, which is a very rare combo, even in Japan. I brought mine back with me from Japan.

They're 2.5V6 twin turbo, 206kW. I think you could probably dust an RS-Four in one, but not a chance against a 260RS - with the factory exhaust, the small turbos on the Legnum mean it runs out of puff at the top end, although the engine is a really free revver.

Parts were a real pain, I got mine from Mitsubishi NZ with only a 2-3 day wait if it was urgent. Guys at Auckland Mistubishi were legends. Not many people mod them, which makes power up stuff hard to come by.

I love Stageas, but for similar money, I'd probably take a Legnum (although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??). Interior is really nicely done - all quality materials inside.

Ooh nice. From what I can tell though, Legnums are harder to find in manual though.

You guys are right on the parts front though - so much bolt on Skyline gear that you have.

I think simplicity is sometimes better.. The single turbo setup of the RB25 is much cheaper to modify than that of a Legnum..

Decisions decisions now... I prefer the look of Legnums, but parts are still an issue. There's a guy in Hong Kong with an Evo 8 4G63 in a Legnum - making big power too apparently!

oh dont get me wrong, beautiful cars. Ill definatly consider owning one some time down the track, but for the money, id just get a 260rs.

There has got to be another wagon out there to rival it?

Hmm, I know what ill get when i can, AMG E55 Estate version. That will be the king of the road :(

Looks nice, would i be right in saying the S2 stagea has around 206kw aswell?

Theres just no comparison between a Mitubishi and a Nissan :(

B*st*rd

LOL fair 'enough

Nice looking wagon..............

although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??

*runs out to clean the car*

You'll have to come back and drive it again in bout 3months ... then see which you'll prefer!! :(

Another hot wagon is the Toyota Caldina ... would be a good comparison between the three makes l reckon!!!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
