After 2 years of not owning a rb powered car, ive purchased a 1997 Rsfour Stagea in a red colour, it is completely standard but has a dayz sticker on the back, done 132000kms. It needs a little bit of a clean up and a few bits replaced (needs a new front bumper) but other than that its good.I pick the car up next weekend

I picked it up yesterday and did the 200km drive from Hobart to Launceston without any dramas and it was pretty good on fuel though, 1/4 tank used on the way up. Today i gave it a wash, the previous owner had owned it for 6 years and dont think it ever saw water or a sponge, its going to need some parts resprayed as the paint is faded badly and some parts on the sideskirts and rear plastics are worn. It also has a non turbo front bumper on it without any air dams or openings on it as the previous owner broke the old one. The Dayz sticker on the back is just a sticker, dont think there are any Dayz options on it. It has the standard 15 inch wheels, 132000kms, all the electrics work. massive quantity of documents about service history and parts been bought. No rust under wing mirrors or strut towers. Im going to get some photos of it up soon and then slowly get it modified a little.

Well pretty sure it has dayz sideskirts; and perhaps it had a lower lip spoiler before the previous owner broke it? Well done on your new RB - I think a Stagea is a fine vehicle to put one in too :D

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
