Haha i sold sold our patrol and the wife had a couple of options for a weekend toy / second car, it was heavily insisted that a RB powered stagea be on the list, so i wont argue with her logic :1_grinning: she even left me with a little pocket money for a few tweaks, so got it detailed, new rims and new headlights so its been a win win

How much? If you don't mind me asking?

I paid 5 for the car, then got wheels after, car came on some 19n's that didn't do it for me

Just glad stagea's are a acquired taste, it keeps the cost down on them :P Sold my last stagea for nearly double what i paid for this one

    • 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!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
