If its ignition problem it's only a matter of time until it eventually becomes a problem again..

Pete you can either do LS coil packs or wire in a morristech igniter if it becomes a problem

Whats wrong with the tune? I thought it was all sorted

I do not think it is sorted, the way the boost is dropping off, something is wrong. I did not have a chance to do another rirve this morning

Doing some other work and then getting a new full 98/E85 Flextune but only after everything checks out .

It will all be checked out Joey, there has to be an answer to this :)

If were mine I'd be going to JEM for future work, seen enough guys on here get results, I might even take the drive from QLD, hahah, nah too far..

Haha, yeah, that's too far, they say that Jez is pretty good , lets see what he can do :)

Everyone talking about this response down low - I bet he has a stack of it.

But he doesn't have any RPM to play with after that.

I am sorry it is not good enough in my book.

It was Pete's choice to have it this way. Don't be sorry because you don't like it.

Hey pete, got a vid of some 600hp GTR's , give you some motivation to get on the track and enjoy... lol...

Yeah, liked this. I have watched it before and always good for a second or third squiz :)

It does make you want to give it a run :thumbsup:

Yes it was my choice and do not regret it, maybe I was pissed off a few times, but when it is sorted it will go hard to 7500rpm but starts 2000rpm earlier, 900Nm is not too bad . So it is like someone else's car going to 9500rpm, but starting at 5500rpm. I like the idea my motor is not revving its head off.

when I first got the car it would go to 10,000rpm +, but :no: :no: Thanks.

Even with the crap I went/going through , it was worth it and it is not over yet, different tuner with a different approach may get more of what I want, if not and it runs freely to 7500 maybe 8000rpm , I will be more than satisfied and it will be more than I need,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I still want it, haha.

Not compared to the T78 in the 2.6 once it kicked in @ 6000rpm and then your head would fall off, so NO. I think after you have had a bigger turbo on, it ruins you a little as far as the initial boost feeling goes :/

Now it is more linear and feels very strong and starts to get going @ 3000rpm but still keeps you in the seat until you take your foot off...

I want to take it past 7000rpm. (my kids on holidays and very time consuming :) I will try to do that this morning just to see what happens, I thought it missed a little around 6500rpm but have not had a chance to confirm it yet?

Just took it to 8000rpm, went freely to 7500 and fell off to 8000, limited at 8000rpm , I was told.

So from 3000rpm to 7500 it is pretty good, so 4500rpm to play with , still wasted on me , but love it:)

It will be interesting to see what the dyno reading would have been if it could have held 24psi instead of dropping to 18.5 psi ??

I haven't yet needed/been able to to rev mine past 7000, maybe I'm driving too soft Pete!

Would be interesting, but I doubt it can flow much more air than it currently does at that rpm on a big capacity, hence why dump mod didn't change much?

I would not often take it past 6000rpm, just a test run to see what happened . Straight line diving, haha

See how it goes with the next tune

    • 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
