Hi guys, Matty here.

Been reading for a few months but only joined recently.

Unfortunately had my stagea s2 rs4 manual written off and am looking to buy another stag asap.

Love the car to bits and I will be parting it in the next month or so.

ATM I can only find series 1 stageas for sale, and the one I am looking at is pretty clean. Wondering whether it's worth doing a manual/engine changeover to the neo/manual from my series 2?

Please let me know what you think and hope to be cruising again soon.

Hey Ben.

Only reason I had considered a manual conversion was the one I'm looking at has the r34 front conversion done and it's a pretty decent price. Automatics just hurt my heart haha.

I know there is probably a lot of work with the conversion but I have the bits available, can you elaborate a bit more?

like most models of cars, it's not just the engine loom that will be different. If you're willing to strip both cars; carpet, dash, everything, yes it can be done quite quickly. You will still need to do some cutting of the loom, whether that may be engine engine bay dash body etc. The other way is to start cutting, but most people do this who have done it before or have wiring diagrams.

I can tell you first hand, once you have found one problem another will pop up.

Could always sell the neo for 1-2g and put your manual into the 34 fronted s1. Then later on wire in a stand alone to tune.

Yeah I'd assume as much.

Did he post anything about it on here?

I have a power fc ready to go and a few other bits and a perfectly good neo hence why the question about the change.

Is the series 2 manual gearbox compatible with non neo rb25det?

There just doesn't seem to be any series 2 manuals that haven't hit 200xxx clicks.

Cheers for the heads up though mate.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
