I'd say its all about drive line. When you look at (I know you already would have...) Craigs vid of his stall launch, you can see the punishment that it cops. However-

I think the more and more you guys find out about the VQ25det, the more I see that nissan have choked it from factory- Intake pipe, THAT dump pipe, the throttle, the untuneable computer etc etc.

I think that they would have had a situation on their hands if these stageas started cutting in on their sports market. I mean, it doesn't take much for a Stagea to rip a CPV35 or a Z33. Wouldn't be a good look for Nissan to see the Wagon passing the "sportscar" down the highway!

YES ! I agree & continually thank Nissan for designing an engine that was too good for it's intended purpose and/or market. It means one only need spend a few thousand to remove the breathing restrictions & some electronic ones & it turns into a completely different animal. Maybe the engine guys misread the memo & thought the car was going to weigh 3 tonnes, not 2, & designed it accordingly, lol.

Or, more likely, one of them wanted a Stagea and was making it easy on himself for later. In any case, way to go boys :worship: .

Anyone interested in this again? I would like a re-map as I'm not getting any of the tards in this state to touch my car with an emanage. Do you still have the Japanese translating contact Ryan?

Get on it & report back with your solution.

Good luck.

Sorry Rich, the translating contact was through someone at work who is on maternity leave, so not easy to get them to pick it up.

The guy at G-Zone speaks little to no English. If you're really dead keen, I'd get Jesse Streeter to do the gophering for you and just pay his commission The Japanese lady who was doing the translation for me didn't understand cars, and that made things much harder.

I've gone F-con myself, there are a few other benefits to going with something like that. But is there really NO ONE in Tassie you can trust to tune it?

What Nismo ecu is this? It's difficult down here as no oe that I know of has tuned E Manage and there are only 3 or 4 dyno's I know of.Getting on the boat makes it a very expensive exercise in the end.

My mate has a 2012 wrx sti.

He got a tune for his car online for $100 includes data logging sent back to the guy to adjust it.

Life isnt fair.

Mail order tunes are shit no matter how much data logging you do.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • 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!
