I have trawled Youtube for Stagea vids many many times (the upshot of a quiet day at work) so I have many picks.

Of course, the infamous

I like this one, and I would be tempted to get these installed on mine

Thanks Dale, it wont be too insane for much longer, motors coming out this weekend (after the HPI photoshoot is done on friday arvo), got a new engine setup going in, should be a fun daily driver :P

heres another one from motorvation motorkana event :banana:

second one looks nice... but cant tell if its fast or not, guess it would be

not that fast really, 11.33 at 124mph at drags fullweight (1740kg + driver) on first outing and only 18psi of boost and over 560hp at wheels in vids (has gone 605hp at wheels on 22psi on low reading dyno too) :P

'Bout bloody time they got your car into a magazine!

Seriously that stag is off it's nut, I love it. Earlier tonight at beacon 19 I planted it a little too hard and it dropped back into 1st unexpectedly and 4wdrifted up the carpark, slightly odd sensation but seriously fun none the less.

'Bout bloody time they got your car into a magazine!

rick the local HPI/Zoom photographer asked me 2 years ago at car show and i said i wanted drag time and good dyno run before i do, hes asked me on previous occasions since if im ready and i havent been happy with the car. Unfortunately i never got to meet my goals due to a defect notice (got it back at start of June) that i have 3 weeks left to sort the car or its unregoed, not happy but thats life. New motor is gonna be abit less powerful but a shitload of fun and i got plans for more mods to the external appearance of the car now, instead of focusing on the motor all the time like this setup. I got a r32 gtr now for this current engine, will weigh in at 1280kg or so once running, should go alright considering its over 400kg lighter than the stagea :P

He's here on SAU as well, but he's "moved on" to a Mitsu Evo. He's a Melbourne resident.

Yeah, I only just realised that. He started the 'We'd talk about Stageas...' thread, right?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
