I got the HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust fitted today at Hills Motorsports. Probably a good thing I paid to get it put in as some bolts were quite stuck, to be expected on a 16 year old factory exhaust.

Sounds great around about 3-4000 RPM, very quiet on idle compared to the factory system.

Finally reunited with mine last Tuesday after 2 months off the road.

Now sporting a rebuilt transmission from Kewish. Never realised how much I enjoyed my until I had to drive a 2" raised Prado for a couple of months (good car, but that handling :()

What happened to box?

What happened to box?

Hit a 'roo.

Impact caused leak in lines which I couldn't see, being just after 1am.

Got home, no fluid in box.

Much better now though.

Downside is that it also tore apart the harness leading to the EGR sensors.

Wiring was worked on but still get engine light so may need a replacement harness... too bad it is the same harness that runs along the top of the engine :(

Love the catch can mounting, interesting location thats for sure.

There is no chopping or modding required with the Hdi front mount.

Hi Guys!

I thought you might be interested to see what I've been doing to my Stagea in the UK. I know Stageas are big in Oz but we have quite a good scene here and I'm aiming to build one of the best:

Here she is, just back from the bodyshop:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
