Nope, can't use 3rd because it will kick down to 2nd at low rpm and big throttle openings.

Aside from giving inconsistent readings, that's rather dangerous as well.

Auto's are nearly always done in 2nd gear for that reason.

It's an auto anyway, so there is no such thing as 1 to 1 in any gear.

The torque converter won't lock up under full power, so there is always "slip".

:O cheers :(

fair call. when I had an auto S14 years ago,I did my dyno runs with the shifter in D,with the OD off,and had a graph that went through both gears.

the S2 stags don't have this problem,as they can be put into the tiptronic mode,and do the whole run in 3rd,regardless of load,it won't kick down. that's how my 154kw atw graph above was done. in third,in tiptronic mode.

As i have stated previously in this thread i had my car dynoed today!

And well all i can say is i am very very happy with the outcome, i have got the print outs from the day which i will post up tommorow cause i dont have time right now and a pic from it.

Anyway it made 162 at all 4 wheels :) very very happy as i was only expecting around 115-120.

So im stoked

on stock boost? 7psi you made 162awkw?

with the same mods as you bar the sitc (which doesnt really do anything on its own anyway) and i had a fuel pump, i made 140awkw on 7psi and then 160awkw on 13psi.

BTW, the 040 is an easy fit into the stagea because of its craddle design, its a good pump to use in them.

Alex: i have the sitc but its not fitted, the only mods that were on the car yesterday when it was dynoed were: Full exhaust, FMIC and Hi-Flow.

The print outs said the car was on 13psi at peak power however i do not have a boost controller *confused*

As in, your sig says

1997 Stagea RS4

Mods: BOS SS Split Dump/Front Pipe, BOS SS High Flow Cat, Fujitsubo Cat Back, ARC Crossflow Cooler Kit, Z32 AFM, Apexi Panel Filter, Apexi SITC.

I dont see anywhere where it says TURBO UPGRADE...

Of all the mods I did, the turbo was the only one I really felt and you leaving it out made me doubt the 160awkw.

Putting a bigger exhaust on will raise the stock boost level due to a change in pressure or something like that...

On a stock S13 Silvia turbo I put a full turbo-back 3" exhaust on and the boost went from 6psi to 10.5psi.

On a stock S13 Silvia turbo I put a full turbo-back 3" exhaust on and the boost went from 6psi to 10.5psi.

My exhaust is 3" turbo back on both my cars, and both have the standard stock boost of 7/8psi.

Little surprised bout your results simon, l thought you may get more than that due to the turbo, as l've got a few less mods than u and got 150.4 on that dyno.

Only thing l can think is that the SAFC2 makes a big difference!!!

SAFC does make a big difference.

See, me and simon are compensating for tune by just flowing more air via the high flow (higher... flow...:P)

A stock turbo is good for ~180-190awkw in stageas so with a proper tune it really gets up there.

Put it this way. I could make 200awkw+ with only the following engine mods. R34 GTT cooler, GCG high flow, full exhaust, SAFC and SITC. Thats all.

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
