First, I want to say, thank you to everyone. Some of the information I have learned through these forums have been of huge help so far.

 

I have owned my 97 Nissan Stagea RS Four for about 4 years now. Only have a few small bolt-ons right now, but looking to restore her to a more glorious day. Currently have a stock RB25DET with a HKS filter, Blitz upper exhaust pipe, and a Fujitsubo exhaust on Volk wheels lowered with Tien shocks. Bought it as is, but i have some pretty basic dreams about getting her to around 300-350 WHP and just keeping her clean right now. future modifications are: coil overs, turbo outlet, high-flowed turbo, intercooler and associated piping, and maybe a few more bolt-ons. As much as i love this beauty, i don't want to dig to deep into the block or head unless absolutely needed. Currently living in Japan, and moving back to the US in a few months. Thanks again for all the help, and I can't wait to learn as much as I can.

Welcome Brad! 

I love a good Stagea!!

You'll have no probs hitting 350HP without going into the engine. Decent cooler, turbo upgrade (maybe even just high flowed? Others on here can confirm), more boost, full exhaust, maybe ECU and cam gears will get you close. 

Will you have any probs taking her home?

Love that you also have one of the Kei ABC's.  I'm a massive fan of them, and have an AZ-1 myself!  I have very similar short term goals on my Unicorn as well, but my long term goals are super sleeper wagon.

Nice to meet you!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Did a little bit this afternoon and pulled the dump and turbo off so I could take the mani off to clean it up and give it a few coats of paint. Wire wheeled what I could get to and then got the sand paper out to get the tight spots. Gave it one coat so far, will do another two tomorrow and see if I can fit it in the oven to bake it for an hour along with the adapter and dbw.  Hoping the exhaust wrap I ordered turns up soon so I can wrap the dump and screamer. Ordered 30M so I'll wrap back as far as I can to help a little with temp next to the box and also the floorpan.

      Rb26 expected power

      Yeah I think overall I’m running the expected power I should be running for now and I’ll just enjoy it for the time being until I get some other parts. Thanks for the advice mate I appreciate it!

      That's fair enough.  Might be time to just enjoy what you have until you sort the ecu/flex sensor situation. You can pretty much guarantee that you are knock limited and e85 is going to be the solution to more power.

      He didn’t provide that info to me but I think I’m on standard timing. And no we don’t have e85 on the petrol stations here but it’s widely available here from shops. I’m just planning on getting a better ecu before switching to e85

      Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.
