What is the difference between standard t3 to stage 1 and stage 2.

Also if anyone has got a stage 2 for sale let me know.

Cheers joe

 

Stage 1 usually has a 360 thrust bearing, and Stage 2 adds a 2wd cossie spec 55trim compressor wheel.

 

why not get stage 3 ?

 

stage 3 moves the power band up the rev range which some people don't like

 

but the bang is better with the s3t3, for all round use a stage 2 is the best road spec one unless you have the money for ball bearing stuff

 

Whats the rest of the spec?

 

Mfi,filter,3 inch bore ss exhaust 3 inch from turbo back, vernier pully, cam, full samco hoses, full fmic,chip,bailey oil breather.

Stage 2 will be fine. Stage 3 will be proper laggy on that spec.

 

Ye like muz said, no need for a stage 3 with out efi IMO as you won't see enough power to make it worth while.

Rob,

 

Mfi has little bearing on the power output.

 

I disagree.

Whilst MFi can be tuned reasonably successfully, it is infinitely more difficult to optimise the timing on an MFi car, which can actually make shed-loads of difference to the power made. IMO every RST needs to be on EFi, the older they get, the worse the MFi components get and the less hard they should be pushed.

 

That is my take on it too Christian.

I don't personally think mfi is feasible above 200 brake with out a 5th injector kit (may as well spend a little extra on proper efi), partly because of fuelling limits but more due to the off boost fuelling.

Rob,

 

Ive got in the garage, what i recall as being a stage 3 T3, the thing is brand new i bought it as being on a car for 50 miles and then taken back off, but it is super minty mint to look at. uprated alloy actuator on it too!

Can get you pictures, let me know if you are interested im never going to fit it on a car now
