I was just wondering if anyone else thinks we should start up a thread for people to put in their current power figures and 1/4 mile times for their stageas and the mods done to their car to achieve these figures?

I know there is a section on the forum for something like this for skylines, but I think it would be beneficial for this stagea section to have something like this so other owners can get an idea of what figures everyone else is getting and the mods required to do so without having to ween through hundreds of skyline figures?

I don't think too many people have taken their madwagons to the track. I read somewhere a bout someone having an 11sec stagea, and also RB26VL is putting his RB26DETT into his wagon, so i'm betting it'll be a force to be wreckened with

Yeah - no figures (or mods!) for me yet... but for any1 who doesnt already have it - I've got the video clip of the 11sec pass if anyone wants it emailed (its also somewhere on here I think but cant find the link)... just PM me so we dont clog this thread with requests for it to be emailed.

:rofl:

I'm one of them lone. As soon as I install my SAFCII (which is on the way) get it tuned and find someone who can cure the mysterious high rev miss shes developed I'll be running it down the qaurter. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes. 2nd of april I think is the meet I want to run at. Still got a little while yet.

Not sure. The mechanic said they are iridium somethings. He said they suck because you cant tell if they are buggerered or noy by looking at them. He said it might be a shitty plug but he doesn't really think that is the problem. It's weird. It just started doing it one day.

Three days after buying mine in Brissy I took it down Willow Bank. Had no idea how i should drive it (as too buttons pushed in, and still had the pram and suit cases in it). Beat most cars on the launch but lost time in the first hundred feet until around the 100 - 120 km mark then it started to pull. But best i could do was 16.1s. Stock standard no mods done. Car is now in Darwin and will see how it goes when the next season starts here.

Cheers ICE

Sounds exactly like my car ICE12, by the time you start getting some good go just after 100 you already have gone over the finish.. The launch sounds like mine as well, a big bog down :cheers:

burkey22: Try some of the NGK 0.8mm gapped ones, I put them in and they seem to have fixed the problem, Ill try and find the aprt number with you.. Not worth the extra $$ for the iriduim, I can get them dirt cheap (my work is a NGK distrubutor) but with how rich the motor can run at times and if you have plans for more boost etc. you'll end up fouling up the iridiums, best to replace every 20,000kms and have a nice clean set that you know for certain :( The realy key is, what gap where the plugs that were used? 0.8mm seems to be ideal against the recommened factory 1.1mm

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
