Ok first of all the performance mod's I have gotten done for my car, this was the cheapest and most powerfull of them all. The stage 2 install only takes about 2-3 hours and didn't look very hard to do (if you know anything about cars it should be easy). This is good so you out of town people can probably do it yourself if you cant make the trip down to RRM. But if you live close i'd just have them do it so you dont blow your **** up Anyways, I was thinking since it only puts boost at 9 psi up from 5 psi that it wasn't going to be that big of a difference...wow I was on crack. The way the car runs now is undescribable. The boost in stage 2 is a total different feeling then stage 1. It puts you in your seat in every gear and puts a grin on youre face.

1) Turbo louder and sounds crazy boosting 9 PSI, esp. the wastegate return it seems louder also. So you will scare your competetion away!!

2) Once boost hits...wow .. hold on . Since they added more fuel now too it seems to me there is virtualy no lag at all. Just driving the car normally feels more torquey and a smoother acceleration.

3) in 4th gear on the freeway watch out because 130 comes in seconds. I swear it scared me the first time I didn't realize I was going that fast because I was used to my car so much before. But when the speedometer can't go no further u know ur goin fast

4) Also the blowoff valve is ALOT louder now. Alot of people will like to hear this because they say they cant really hear it in the stage 1. Well mine wasnt that loud either but now... its just sick all i can say.

Downsides... watch out for cops and be carefull cause this **** is stupid fast.

I think im goin down to road race next weekend and were gonna do some sound clips and maybe a video. also gonna get it dyno'd at a shop by my house and ill post that up as soon as I do it.

Thanks to ROB GABE BOE ANDREW all good guys and do great work. If your'e gonna get turbo stage 2 is a must. I can't even think about not having it now, it just opens up all the power and potential of this great kit that RRM makes. By far the best purchase I have made and glad I saved up for it

By the way: First victim was a dodge SRT-4 last night on the freeway. I even waited for him to pass me up in full throttle before I took his soul and threw it in the dirt. You guys just really dont know how fast it is, I had no idea either

 

lets have some dyno #'s so we actually have an idea of how fast it really is

 

so did they port your manifold for you?? how's gas mileage?? how much it run you to upgrade to stage 2.. i have a long way since i dont even have a cat-back hahahahhaha! just the turbo.. but i still spank RSX-S' on the streets and WRX's on the highway

 

I have no ported intake manifold, it is not needed BUT would add alot more power and I plan to get it soon. Hell im even running a STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLD and its making this crazy power. Call Road/Race for the pricing, for what you pay it's worth it I will tell you that much.

 

what did your stage 2 upgrade consist of? stiffer spring in the wastegate? piggyback? upgraded fmu?

 

Basically it consist of adding more fuel, boost, and fully tuning it with alot of tweaks and hacks in between. Gotta call Road/Race if you want specific details

 

and im still waiting for stage 1... this is gonna be pretty expensive so ill need a new job

 

Way to go Boni. That's my deam too. Getting little things now but slowly saving for my front mount. Going sleeper too.

 

can we see dyno numbers...

 

i know it's a bit early but is any talk on stage 3 at all just wondering

 

congrats boni on the rrm stage II sounds like tons
of fun...will you be running 1/4 mile anytime soon?

 

thats awesome man! im happy for you! cant wait till u get the time to dyno it , no rush i know its hetic to find time with work and since now you'll just wanna be out cruisin haha

 

wow man... i can just imagine myself in my lancer with turbo . anyways good job man! thats some crazy stuff . post some 1/4 times if you ever hit the track.

 

Thanks I think im gonna get the turbo cam shaft from RPW and possibly do some porting on my motor but maybe not (depends on how much it will all cost) then im gonna dyno it at this race shop by my house. I duno about running it in the 1/4 mile, maybe if they got something going on at pomona or california speedway on a weekend then ill do it. I did a hard pull in my car today, tires broke loose in 1st gear and once i caught traction they just kept chirping once boost hit, the same **** in 2nd gear, guess the piggyback and ecu are getting along good now after a day of driving it around

 

is it true that there is a break in period for the piggyback? i heard it was like 50 miles till you can go hard on it. not really sure though...
