Oh my god, AMD really are the dogs, my .:R feels like a new car!!

Anyone who has an .:R and some pennies in the bank should def get this done!

Lovin it!

Whats in on a "Stage 2" setup then?

 

[MikeP]

Chip and zorst I think?

Did they do a before and after run on the dyno?

 

[Carlos]

Is that whats Royster has then? If so it was the same power as Tabs R32 wasn't it? []

 

[klauster]

they did my before and after plots, now running 269bhp, and the exhaust sounds alot nicer to boot!

Yep, that's what Roysters got, and so have I and quite a few other people on here for that matter[^]

Agreed very much worth every penny, completes the car[]

My R is being collected on Friday, will miss it though[].

Time to pick up another R but different[8D][^]

 

[DAVE30]

what exactly do you get for your pennies then ?

and how much pennies we talking about ?

29bhp more dont sound like much to me ?!?!?

thanks for any advice

Basically it's a remap and Miltek exhaust for a shade under a grand. Quite popular, with varying results between 260-270bhp.

 

[markR32]

hmmm... that made me thinking about getting amd stage 2

 

[Royster]

You lot know more about me than I do! lol[:I]

I have the same setup as Claire. My best results were: 272.5BHP / 360Nm

I've driven an R in stock form with 6463 recently and it doesn't quite have that "one inch punch" mine has.. Difficult to explain exactly but I'm glad I have the Stage 2.

 

[DAVE30]

what is stage 1 then ?

what gains ?

and what about a turbo charger

dave

 

[klauster]

stage 1 is the remap without the milltek exhaust, costs ?500ish, performance gain is approx 20bhp...

Turbo charger would be something entirely different, with a price tag to match!

 

[DAVE30]

prite tag is no problem

just wondering on a rough estimate on turbo's for these cars

would get the hpa jobbie done but too far to travel

dave

 

[DAVE30]

and 20bhp gain isnt much for ?500ish dont ya think ?

dave

 

[klauster]

thought it was a better deal to get Stage 2, they do a stage 3 aswell...

IT wasn't just about hp gains it was about removing the asthmatic nature of the engine and hesitation experienced on some cars.

You would really need to try it to appreciate the tranformation and don't forget when most of us had our stage 2's, 6463 was just a dream! So with a half decent groupbuy at the time we came away with change from a grand. I think the results spoke for themselves everyone was happy[]

And a Stage 4!

Click here for my review shortly after having the Stage 2. I would also like to add that the car feels quicker now with more miles on it than it did initially[8D]

 

[DAVE30]

my car has 41k on her

so im looking now to get the mods done as i thik she is broken in a little

and yes as you say mate, she is very hesitant

so i would like the get that out the window

i may try the stage 2 straight away, see how that feels

thanks for the advice guys n gals
