yeh 206 at the fly wheel which is about 130atw like scott said

im talking 230kw atw .

i can ship it over!

so whats the best way of unlocking the restricted power and still keeping full reliabilty out of these babies?

what can the driveline and engine components handle?

like i said earlier im just gonna do some basic stuff but maybe in a year or so i will look into playing with the ecu, fuel cut defender, raise the boost, upgrade the intercooler etc etc.

have you got a build thread on your car ? couldnt find one tho.........

its a big question lol.

theres things like exhaust

suction pipe

turbo(which the stocky will give way soon)

injectors

pump

n then most importantly a tune.

if al of its done right you should see over 300kw without having to open the motor and change rods etc. strong lil buggers

about 220-230AWKW's is safe for the whole driveline.....although I would still suggest going with a shift kit!

You cant play with the ecu, Emanage or Fcon V pro p1ggybacks are the only options as far as I know.

There is no fuel cut, ours has an airflow cut which the Emanage can work around.

If you raise the boost you will most probably have bits of ceramic turbo exhaust wheel in your cat, it doesnt like stock boost let alone more.

I would start with intercooler (HDI) and a good 3 inch turbo back. If you then do the 3 inch intake you will hit airflow cut requiring the Emanage. Its all down hill from there. The driveline is strong once the gearbox is built...

welcome aboard mate.. you only need to idle down your call if your own a fair bit of boost right before stopping the car..

No or very little boost your fine to turn it straight off.. wont affect the start up of the car..

id be looking at other factors for that one.

oh yeah imo best single mod to do is dump pipe.

+1....get in contact with Scott....it will prolong the life of the turbo as well.

very interesting :)

what is the stock boost anyways and whats the model of the turbo???

considering the cars just hit 65,000km and the turbo gets it main service at 100-110,000km when do they start to fail considering its been looked after correctly???

being everything is in japanese its very hard to find information but i've already sussed out all the easy stuff searching through the threads here :)

its a Garret M24N specifically made for the Stagea.

stock boost varies with the model rs rx im pretty sure are 12ish where as ARX is around 14.6. im guessing yours being axis would be the same as ARX

and they can fail anytime. mine let go at 80k some people are well into 100k and still going stock turbo. its how well its maintained

Don't forget your odometer isn't always telling the truth...

Which is why it's just best to start from scratch with ALL fluids & lubricants. Change EVERYTHING; that way you know it's going to done right from now on.

You can only do your best to buy a good one, once it's home it's like any other 2nd hand car; things may go wrong, they may not.

well the service just got done but i'll check myself for some piece of mind.

i'll be lucky to even be putting 10,000km on it a year so hopefully i wont have any major drama's straight away. let me build up some savings again LOL.

just for now im looking for reliability mods and if i can afford it a more throaty exhaust.

guess ill start saving for a replacement turbo straight away so im not caught out for when it fails and off the road for a great period of time.

maybe the throttle body is dirty :ph34r:

it could've gotten a little dusty whilst i was on holiday we went down some dirt roads to access the beach :unsure:

but there is a brand new air filter in there so a couple of runs down there shouldnt have affected it that bad.

i'll have to see how it goes and check it out.

cheers guys :)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
