best thing for you to do mona if all you want is 250 KW is just buy a bare motor and put your bolt ons on it.

Otherwise if you do want more power

$$$$$

depends what you wanna use the car for in the end

Im selling my car cause ive got a new project comming

aiming for the 800Kw mark and in the mid 8 second passes.no point in wasting my car just sell it and start fresh

Interesting. Buster's right. They all have their place and not just from a performance perspective. There are other things to consider. I looked at the rebuild NEO or go RB30 thing recently when mine blew and decided that the rebuild suited me best. I'm happy with my choice and enjoying it.

from what it seems its overly sensitive. this can happen from having the sensor to tight.

the pistons are perfect. not a whisper of detonation

I got this problem with my 3 litre.. it allways knocks on the PFC but we can never hear it at all!!!

I took it to many dyno's and they tuned it with knock levels of around 100 yet there was no detonation because we could not hear it at all.

They told me to ignore the knock level because its not knocking.

My knock sensors used to work ok till the 3 litre went in to maybe we tightend them up too hard ??? how do you know when its in too hard ??? how to you get it right ?

from memory its 15nm. with a lubricated thread. so yeah. just nipped up

basicly the same tension as the ignition coil holders.(the 12mm bolts)

I did not even know about the coil holders not needing to be in tight lol

Got any other usefull information for us ? =)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
