Stagea 260RS - the modding begins

[fast eddys]

Although the Stagea has a decent cat back exhaust as standard and must have had around 300bhp, it seemed a bit laggy on the road. It will never be super quick due to the weight it carries, but i wanted to liven it up a bit without playing with boost for now.

It now has an uprated downpipe, freeflow cat, modified 'twin turbo' pipe, a lightweight flywheel and uprated clutch.

It feels much more responsive on the road now. I stuck it on Clives Dyno as he is just up the road and these are the figures.



Boosting at 10.7 psi and fueling is ok due to slight increase in rail pressure. May try a little more boost. Better order the pistons, rods, crank and gaskets ready for the rebuild lol.

I've been toying with the idea of a Stagea for soooooooo long. The 260 is the baby to get but rare. Post up a pic please.

...add some wings and ski's and you could turn it into a seaplane. Great!!

I knew it wouldn't be long before you started to tinker with it!! Christ, don't make it too quick otherwise i'll never keep up with you!!

N1 Engine good for 500HP reliably apparently so why is built?

Looks good fast eddy, i'm very interested to see how you get on and what you do with the Stag, I always toy with the idea of getting another Jap wagon after my old VR4 went up in smoke. Nice bit of advertising too ;P

Thanks,

Not going to go silly on this as it weighs 1720kg so putting more strain on drivetrain etc than a GTR. This replaces a forged engined R32 GTR and is intended to be a mult purpose vehicle which it is doing very well at so far.

The normal RS4 is a good value car that can be modified to 300hp easily, but auto of course.

lovely car!

(to previous poster: I said built as i wasnt sure people would know what an N1 engine was)

260 at the wheels = 340 at the fly? Really? Seems a bit over optimistic for the flywheel figure?
