Looking for the owner of a red stagea, gets seen everyday between garden city and the Ipswich motorway. What mods have you got, my father in law keeps saying how quick it is compared to mine.

During the last week & a bit?

Lol. What mods have you got? Got a power figure?

Hi flowed stock turbo, free flowing exhaust, Pod & a dodgy bleed off type boost controller. Last week I was going up the hill near the stadium & the wastegate thought it was a good idea to stay open... the gauge read ~25psi when I knew what was going on, besides the sudden loss of traction from the rear :)

The next few months will see a total upgrade:

Link ECU

A secret modded Intercooler (will tell what it is after I prove a concept)

Garret GT3076R

Mandrel bent 3 1/2 inch system w/Varex muffler

Bosch 044 & fuel regulator

550CC JECS Injectors

This will be tuned for ~300KW

I'm using the Stag as a test bench for my '85 Bluebird. Once it's running sweet, the whole donk is to be swapped over (bluebird has RB20DET atm).

A long LONG time after that, I've got another RB25DET that will be a crank up rebuild (I have access to a 6 axis CNC machine for billet fun) & I'll be hunting for the 900-1000hp mark :)

Forgot to mention the Stag is my work car :P

Sounds like fun, mine was tuned upto 306hp before one of my rings let go, I'm half way through pulling the engine out.

That's gonna be a quick blue bird.

The Bluebird weighs ~900 KG. It's been a project for the best part of 3 years.

Looks a bit different from this photo today

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
