I will be going to stage 3 this weekend, after fitting new head gasket etc. Initially will set it to run at 17/18 psi, until I can get it on the rolling road to check the fuelling.

What should I expect, I run stage 1 at the mo and have driven standard cossies but never anything with stage 3. Will it be like a different car or just a bit faster.

 

once it has been set up it can only be described as a 4 wheeled R1 m/cycle

keep your eye on the rev counter as you will not believe how quick it hits the red-line!!!!

have fun!!!!

Depends what Turbo you are using

 

FPMSL

 

Now that is a fucking classic line

 

would my line be classic in a good way or a bad way?????





Pugo

 

have you ever been on an R1

 

In a "What a load of bolloxs" way

 

I must admit guys while it would be fast or I hope so, but I also ride bikes and I have ridden an R1 and couldnt get the front wheel down until nearly 100mph. I have only just got the car but I believe it is a standard turbo, the only clue I have is the A/R ratio stamped on it is 42? I have just fitted a 4x4 cooler as I was told this would help

 

yes i owned an r1 and to be honest, the cossie is a lot more fun at stge 3 than the r1 ever was at std , everytime i went out on the bike it cost me a bloody fortune , this missus hated it, my boy couldn't come out with me and my cossie feels like itaccelerates harder from 100mph upwards
I ragged the arse out of the r1 and managed 168mph on a section of road near me! i ragged the cossie and got 160 on the same section(yes a whole 8mph faster), i went up against my mates R6 the other night through the twisties and when we had finished he was shocked at how quick the car was!!

so it may not be knee down and looking like a twat in (i wish i was max biaggi) luminous leathers

but it is in my opinion equivalent fun

I have owned numerous bikes i.e x7's ,(i raced 250's proddy),350lc's, zx9r, a wanker of a blade which i chucked up the road, the r1, i even owned a kh500triple (if any one remembers what they were)

so yeah i pretty much know what an r1 goes like, and my cossie is stge 3ish

what would you lot compare it too then?????????????

Pugo

 

Then you ride like a poof

My stg 3 cossie is great fun but no where near as fast or as much fun as my R1 was

 

the stage3 cossie is barely comparable to an R6 , the R1 would kill a cossie at stage3 spec

 

or could it be you drive like one

ok so the r1 is quicker in a straight line but the law of physics say you cannot corner as hard and any twat can go fast in a straight line!!!

the fast time i went out in a cossie it was a ggr 300 hp car and i got home and went out and bought a cossie as quick as i could and i still have it as its a blast!!

When i bought the r1 ithought it was better than the blade but not as nice as my mates ducati !!!

each to there own i suppose

Pugo

 

See you are obviously confused

Ducati's are fookin' shite

 

then you obviously do not know how to set a bike up
if you think dukes are shite


i am not going on any more, i am too tired


too the guy who started this thread......don't bother with your stge 3 as everybody else on this thread thinks it ain't going to be fun for you nor is there going to be hardly any difference.....save your money dude !!!



good night!!!

 

Nah, not a clue mate

Only worked as a bike mechanic for the last 4 years

Great corner speed, very stable but a bit slow steering for me and I just don't like twins

 

Back to the Q.

I have just upgrade from stage 1 to stage 3
from around 260bhp to 319bhp running 22psi

You will love it loads more power pulls me back into the seat now

It`s feels a big diffrence from stage 1

Plus loads more fun in the wet mines 4x4 though sideways could not do it that good before on stage 1 but now it`s great fun

But now i got the taste of power i want more now
You will feel a big diffrence but now i got the taste of more power

 

yea, this got a bit

Personally I'd say the biggest difference between stage 1 and 3 is the nice big wedge of torque you get

On the motorway I can fend of my mates stage 1 cars using 4th while they are caining it in 3rd

Just noticed you are from Bristol as well.

You been to the Bristol RSOC yet?

3rd thursday of every month @ North Bristol Rugby club

 

still training then???????

pugo

sorry!!! couldn't resist that one

 

No have been working on bikes and cars since I was 13 although technically my qualfications are all in the car trade.

 

GurnE No i havent been to the Bristol RSOC, unfortunatly I dont know any RS owners up here, but would be interested in coming along. I will look for it on the web.

Cant wait for my stage 3 bits!!! Will it go sideways in the dry?

 

Is yer car 2wd? If so you bet it will!

Makes hanging the ass out so much easier as well with the extra toqure, much more steerable on the throttle

Here's the Bristol RSOC web address www.rsocbristol.co.uk

 

Yeah it is 2wd, I think i will be driving something else when its wet.

Thanks for that address I will have a look

 

i too have a 2wd that will be stage three next week when i get it back. t34 with 55 housing, and 4x4 cooler. did the cooler go straight on, or did it take a bit of messing?
cheers

 

I replaced the rad at the same time so I just dropped it all out the bottom then put the cooler in and the rad after, then had to measure up the pipes and cut them down a bit because the 4x4 cooler is deeper, and found out after fitting that I had nowhere to fit the dump valve coz the 4x4 doesnt have the outlet on the intercooler for the dump valve so I am running without one until I get some new boost pipes with the fitting on

 

cheers! do you know where the dump valve goes on a 4x4 then?

 

not standard, but the aftermarket boost pipes I have seen have a fitting in the pipe between the cooler and the throttle body
