im yet to put mine in too just need to get my fuel rail. Which fuel rail did you use to fit it under the plenum.

Anychance you could also tell me if the R34Neo injectors you pulled out were 11mm or 14mm. Seems to be two answers on the threads im reading.

Just used the standard fuel rail and 4mm spacer man. It still clears the plenum easy as, no worries there. Ah to be honest i didn't even measure the size difference between the old ones and the new ones. I just sprayed lanolin on them and they went into the fuel rail fine and didn't move around at all when i put the retaining clips in. With my luck i wouldn't be surprised if i bought the wrong ones haha, anything i do seems to be one step forward and two steps back!

I've got my stock injectors sitting in a box at home, ill measure them for you tomorrow. Pretty sure they are 14mm though.

Sweet, cheers dude.

Also, new turbo finally arrived! It is much bigger than i thought it was going to be hahaha. It is going on tonight and is the last thing i have to get sorted before the car goes down to trent this weekend for tuning! Fingers crossed it bolts up all sweet and i don't have anything bite me in the ass >_<

Any idea what size studs I need? And how do I get the olds ones out?

Trying to make it fit by clocking the turbo but don't think it will work.

From memory the factory ones are 42mm, so it depends what size spacer you have. I think Stao uses a 15mm spacer, so you will need to get studs at least 15mm longer. I believe I went with 67mm studs.

Standard studs are 39mm, parts that protrude from the manifold is only 24mm, turbo housing is 10mm, spacer is 16mm.

So standard studs are 2mm Fromm even being flush with new turbo.

Will try and get it all sorted tomorrow, hopefully have enough time to get it sorted before this weekend >_<

This is what i would be after yeah? Hopefully can source some locally if not then i'm pretty much farked before this weekend haha.

Yep, they are what I used. Be warned, mine warped severely after about 2000kms. I had to cut two of them to get them off.

But MTQ were very surprised and said it shouldn't happen, and because I couldn't find any inconel studs I just used the same ones again. They seem to still be ok.

Got the turbo on finally after fighting with oil and water lines. Found it interesting that the turbo doesn't have a little nipple or similar to run to the wastegate? Just used a spare nipple on my plenum and run it to that.

Run the wastegate as close to the turbo outlet as you can. Stao really should put a nipple on the turbo. But you want the wastegate plumbed into a source as close to the turbo as possible, because of you get a leak somewhere and the boost pressure is lower at the plenum then you could be working the ass off the turbo, superheating the intake charge. If that means getting a nipple put onto the hot side cooler piping then do that.

Would probably be ok for the tune. You should really check for leaks before it goes on the dyno anyway, but hopefully it's ok. But if Trent can't do it, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just do it at some point.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
