hmmm i havent done this boost mod, i think i may have to do it

[webng]

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?

[Duncan]

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.

dont worry about cutting anything just get a manual boost controller($22 b/c or power up) 10psi & youve got a new car

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!

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.
