I have just been having a bit of a think about upgraded turbo selection for a RS4 Stagea and if the specs should be different to a turbo for a Skyline if the same results are desired. I had planed to get a 250kw GCG high flow job for My R33 and may one day want to do an upgrade on the Stagea.

Would the ideal turbo specs for a Stagea be the same as for the Skyline or would a turbo with different characteristics be more suitable when considering the Stageas extra weight and auto trans? I am guessing you would want it to develop peek boost at or just before the torque converter stall / lock up

Hi Burns, I will be using a GCG ball bearing hi flow on our Stagea. With a split dump/engine pipe combo, hi flow cat, 3.25" exhaust and an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley, I reckon I can tune it for ~0.5 bar at torque converter stall. That's using the Jaycar DFA for fuel tuning and the IEBC to keep the wastegate firmly closed. The power target is 200 4wkw at 1.1-1.2 bar.:(

PS; on the 4wd dyno the Stagea seems to loose around 15 rwkw more than a manual R33GTST does on the same dyno in 2wd. The Stagea was in second with the Snow and 4wd buttons on, as without them the ATTESSA kept moving the power from front to rear on the rollers.

Sounds like the GCG is still probably the best option.

Im getting 172kw at the rear wheels with a front mount, unshielded pod filter, SAFC turbo back Blitz Nur spec exhaust with a non split dump pipe on 12psi. I think I will get the brakes and handling sorted out to my liking before going for any more. Apart from fitting an air box or shield for the pod filter.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
