thanks fellas, the 22psi run didnt get much more power than the 18psi (another 40hp or so) so it looks like its running out of puff on the old t04z, it is a conservative dyno compared to some other ones in perth so it should crack 600 on other dynos if im lucky. looks like its turbo upgrade time to something huge that will make full use of the stroker kit in the near future and keep the Z for road use :huh:

the sound of it at 8500rpm is pure car porn :angry:

  • 4 weeks later...

I said it before, and I'll say it again...

Holy Snapping Ducksh!t Batman!!!!

Gonna hit the strip anytime soon? Let us all know when so we can come down and watch!

new dyno tune, results are 585rwhp on 19psi and 605rwhp on 22psi (didnt rev to rpm limit due to problems so still abit more in it)

ill post graph tommorow

Brad?

Is this for a Stagea or R33 GTST, because your user details list a R33?

Paul im running the 0.81, maybe there is a difference in hks vs garrett versions for power ;)

the dyno i used is very convservative too

lets just say the car is currently engineless and im planning on building a different setup and this engine go into a rwd track car. Not by choice that the motors out soo quick but some problems happened on the dyno and now the motor is stripped with pistons and rods etc all out.

oh i just love cars :(

Brad, That's a real shame ;) I'd love to do back to back comparison's of HKS versus Garrett, but I'm guessing your on a T3 hourins, not T4 ?

hey thanks guys for the support, that engine will possibly be back in the stagea but not for a while, ill be running another engine combo for the time being.

Paul my turbo is a t4 flange (my manifold is from Trust and suited for a t78/88).

well, $800 later. was going to be a grand but they did me a good deal. can recommend Boostworx for sure.

exhaust manifold was snapped clean in half, replaced with same, busted radiator when I stopped the car in front of the workshop, replaced with slightly thicker GTst unit, new exhaust studs, redid all the intercooler pipes (lol they asked who fitted it hahaha - me ! dodgy home job) for me, all's running well, bar the RESTRICTIVE rear muffler.

Knew I should have changed it back over xmas. Will get an oval 3inch straight thru muffler, have the adjustable exhaust cam wheel fitted, and retune to 16psi.

exhaust manifold was snapped clean in half

You are kidding! Mine did the same, it started to make exhaust leak noises a couple of weeks ago, which gradually got worse. So yesterday I thought I would tighten up the manifold nuts, they are the usual culprit. Been puting it off as the heat shielding is always a bitch to get off. With the heat shielding (finally) off I was amazed to see a cracked exhaust manifold, all the way around the log between #3 primary pipe and the turbine flange. I have never seen that happen before, and now I read the above.

I will post up some pictures tonight.

>_< cheers :)

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
