T04r top mount turbo

blitz 660cc injectors

straight throught 3" exhaust

apexi afc neo piggy back ecu

bosch 040

malpassi fuel pressure reg

piping kit

everything else pretty much stan dard

Mods i am in the process of doing/building

upgrading to bosch 044 with surge tank

mahle pistons and rings

forged h beam conrods

The best gain IMO - swapping to a better turbo. Its without a doubt the sore point of your setup.

You can increase displacement and all the rest, but the best gains are simply in one single item.

A GT35 will be more responsive and make more power than what you have on there now IMO.

yea i was thinking that or getting one of those kits that put t04z internals into my turbo but that will be later on i reckon

i also forgot to mention atm it hit full boost about 5k rpm so hoping that will improve a bit

and im running oil drain from the back of the head to the sump as well as oil ristrictors

See a GT35 on your current motor would drop a good 500rpm just from the turbo

Add in a 3ltr and you'll be looking at 1000rpm perhaps more.

IMO it's the best turbo choice for your setup as you are limited by other parts like injectors, ECU etc.

And really - you need a proper ECU to control your setup.

T04Z is too big for your current part list, a GT35 is only JUST going to squeeze in.

If you want 400-440rwkw+ (T04Z), then you need bigger injectors, 4" exhaust etc. Basically another 3-4k is required.

And then budget for a gearbox with that kinda power, as realistically they don't hold that power forever - so 5-7k.

I still think the GT35 is the best choice mate, and it's more-so affordable in terms of not stressing "too" much more than needs to be. 360-380rwkw through a stock box should be OK. But going much more and you really are starting to strech the relationship a bit.

yea i will just wait and see how this turbo i have atm goes with the setup i was only going to go a t04z because u can get those CHIRA things for $1000 and they fit into the to4r housing

what are 660cc injectors good for does anyone know?

yea im buying a new exhaust atm gonna get a 3.5" i reckon

and yea my gearbox is already in need of a rebuild whines its head off and grindes from 3-4 at high rpm

3.5 isn't enough for a 04x, needs 4' due to 400rwkw+

a core is cheap, but you could sell the 04r, and it'll workout the same ;)

i may aswell look into 4" then haha where the best place to buy them from dont see 4" very often

yea i guess so ill sort that all out after i finish the build and have saved some more money :)

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
