goodluck.

I know he hasn't done anything to it as yet. Should be good fun (and legal) no mater what the outcome.

cheers

Hey Phil,

You got the cheat sheet on the turbo? Or your running a tricky boost control. A good launch at about 21/2 shoud blow thw pretender away.

But I will tell you my son's S13 went 300hp on the dyno last week, and that was raw, fine tuning is expected to get another 30. I think with the power/weight ratio the 13 would really s on a Stag.

I know I cant keep up with the 13 on 10 psi, I am just too heavy. But safe.

Yes Hugh, but your son's S13 has alot of work done, 300HP is an awesome figure. Should be enough to make it go sideways :)

My Celsior was quicker than a S14 with a cooler and exhaust and it weighs over 1.8t!!!!

Even though the Stagea has more weight a stock S15 vs. a stock Stagea(S1) may be fairly matched. But Phil's has some goodies.

Even if I don't run it'd be good to go the drags again.

Its only meant to go slideways. LOL Its a pig to drive like a normal.

He hasen't had it on the dino as yet. I have been in the passinger seat and it did feel quite quick.

Turbo 2lt auto at 1300kg aprox verses Turbo 2.5lt auto at 1700kg.(and 240hp atw but don't tell him )

I have to admit the power/weight has got me a littel woried. :)

cheers

not trying to psych you out or anything phil cause i know you got some goodies, but i can understand your a leetle bit jumpy :D i assume the s15 is a manual maybe he'll stall it :blink: , and by the way i hope your daughter is going to tape it cause if i cant see it live i want to see it posted :rolleyes:

If you can wind up the boost for a super fast launch, well 9 or 10 on launch should see him off.

Not sure of the S13 weight, but it has nothing superfluous. Air Con, fan, seats, sound deadening,spoiler.power steering,soon to be C/F bonnet, boot, guards.No dash, radio or heater. If it dont make it go, heaveho.

Not promising but we might get there.

It is an auto but it is a type R whatever that means. I think it has something to do with it having a slightly larger ballbering turbo than standard.

I am running 12lb of boost at the moment but would like to get it back to 999 to have a power run on the dino just to make shore all is well.

I will have the camera there on the day so I will post up a few shots (if I can remember how to do it).

I may be able to get some video of it to but I am not shure weather I will be able to post it up here.

I will do my best to keep the stagea flag flying high.

Cheers

I'd love to see the video footage as well if you get it recorded.

Post it up on YouTube, then link it here. You can even get it to show directly on this page if you put [ video ] and [ /video ] tags on each side of the web link.

Example:

[ video ] "link to video on YouTube" [ /video ] (Ignore the spaces, of course...) :banana:

The S13 was here yesterday and I have a copy of the dyno results.

273.1 RWHP at 20psi, but leaked off to 16psi. The plate over where the cold start used to be has a broken stud and this was where the leak is.

We wont be at the meet onext week. We need to fix the leak and get the body kit fitting better.

Personalized number plat should be ZIP TIE.

Hi

Well that was a waste of time we prayed our money at the gate got to the staging lanes at 4.00 had six drops of rain so they called it off. :) Of cores now at 4.45 it is fine and looks as though that is how it will stay for the rest of the night.

This was as close as we came to racing. At least I beat him off the track (that is his car behind mine) LOL

We have set a new date Sat Jan 10 2009 for our grudge match.

I will be out there next Saturday 20 to watch :)

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • 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.
