boost mod is to cut the black wire on the boost control solenoid and earth the part of that wire coming from the solenoid to the body. The connector part going back to the ecu remains cut.

Normally you have only 4psi of boost before 4500rpm, then it goes to 7psi. Using this mod gives you the full 7psi at all times.

Hmm, interesting... and if you find it's too heavy on petrol consumption i'm assuming it is reversible?

umm yeah I guess you could reverse it but there is no way you would want to....it gets rid of the "laggy" feeling and makes it responsive everywhere as it should be.

boosting it up to 10-12psi would be even better but this is a simple no cost 1/2hr mod.

re fuel economy its mostly attached to your foot. my fuel economy is already appalling so I can't see it getting much worse.

Hi all

There doesn't appear to be any New Zealand forums regarding these great wagons, so...

I just bought a 1996 Stagea RS FOUR V with 128kms on the odo, basically stock with a few small mods...

A very sweet car!! I love the performance, seems to have more "Real" power then the Subaru Legacies I was test driving.

one thing I have not figured out yet is how to re-hook up the boost control solenoid, as the previous owner was experimenting with boost controller but removed it and just dummied off the solenoid and hooked up the vacuum line straight to the wastegate actuater...

So if anyone has a picture or diagram of where the original vacuum lines went on the RB25DET boost control solenoid... that would be great, cheers!

Hi 97 series 2 motor looking for split dump found just japs 33gtst would not fit. any recomendations?
hmm that sucks I was going to buy one for my s1. where/how doesn't it fit?
yes it would fit, there have been a few stagea owners buy the just jap kits an fit them

I've just bought one from JustJap too, but haven't fitted it yet.

I was told that to install it you have to make sure you put the bottom two nuts/bolts on BEFORE the others, or you won't have enough free-play to get them on later. This is apparently where most people seem to have problems. Are your issues with fitting it different to that, and if so, how?

If your Stagea is a 97, that means it has the s2 R33 Skyline motor with the plastic compressor wheel, but the actual turbo is not different enough between s1 and s2 R33s to make a difference to how they attach.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
