Hi All,

Finally decided to join after many months of lurking on the forums here.

brought this stagea early this year from a local dealer after a couple of months searching. Its a bit rough around the edges, but thats part of what I liked about it. Its a car thats been driven, not tucked away. It would have to be one of the best all over cars I have owned, other cars being a Mini, a 1992 Q's Silvia, a 1994 supercharged levin with 11lb underdrive pulley and a toyota windom. The Stagea has exceeded all of them in one way or another.

I have not done any modifications as yet apart from the pictured airfilter mod. Thats oiled unifilter foam stretched over the original paper filter housing (with the paper cut out) and the top half of the standard airbox cut off to allow it to seal. I was concened about heat sink but I have not noticed any problems as yet.

After xmas I hope for a new exhust system, cat removed before proposed new emmision laws are introduced in january.

Performance wise I will leave it like that until the engine dies and at that stage I will look at the RB25DET conversion. I entertained ideas recently about a hardish tuned SR20DET conversion but decided it may not be the best idea after I found myself laughing at the locally listed 2 litre stageas.

Other things will most likely be a new aftermarket head unit, some decent component speakers and a 10" sub for the boot. This is first and foremost a family car so I have to be resonably picky about what i do with it in respects to usability.

Thats my essay over, the pics are not that great, the other halfs pulsar pushed into the pics.

Hope to get to know everyone better,

Kenny

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
