Stagea 260RS - the modding begins

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 also know someone who has a nice gearbox in stock

Nice power on a largely stock engine but you know you're going to want more.

And the power to weight ratio is .. lol .. good going buddy.

About the same as the metro mate (at the moment)

Are we going to see this on the track anytime soon... even for a little 20 mins session?!

I can only recall ever seeing one here and it shifted!!

They have the same engine, gearbox and I believe largely the same running gear as an R33 GTR so there is no reason (beyond the weight) that it wouldn't go well

For humour, look at the car that the Stagea destroys. (It made me chuckle)
