Scoobyghost Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Right basically I'm after a consensus as to what mod is a particular stage. I found this link http: //www.torquecars.com/tuning/tuning-stages.php and it seems to explain it but I spoke to a friend of mine and the shop he is having his vxr worked on claim an exhaust and remap as stage 2. Further to my confusion is my insurance company are allowing me stage 1 mods and confirmed to me that I'm covered for intake, exhaust and a remap. Can anyone shed some light on this debacle and clear up my confusion. [emoji53] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't think there is a fixed definition it varies from tuning company to company and across model ranges I have always approached stage 1 as bolt on so filters and exhaust end can stage 2 involves bolt on changes that need a remap to get optimum effect so full exhaust and or turbo replacement Stage 3 onwards is engine internals - but you can always rebuild an engine with cdb and fully forged / lightened components - still using all the OEM external stuff - so dont know if this is classed as a stage or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Stage one is normally bolt on stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey133 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No stage 1 for scoobies I think was a remap Stage 2 was sports cat to back box and a aftermarket air filter Stage 3 was full decat remap air filter and fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I thought stage 3 or 4 would be a bigger turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey133 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Stage 3 was rated at 330-350bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The "stage" hp would be dependent on the base car . ie A Newage wrx's turbo and injectors wouldn't break into 300 hp range Whereas a newage sti would see 350hp before the injectors and turbo need upgrading [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this it seems to vary from tuner to tuner. Scoobyclinic offer a lot of tuning packs and it seems to vary from car to car also.

Ash007ks Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Scooby clinic will also !Removed! your car up.... moving on before i start a rant , Stage modifications as far as i remember is an old Ford and Honda thing, I.e on my Rs turbo it has stage 3 alloy radiator and stage 4 turbo, on the scooby these dont follow the same heir achy that the other makes do and such it varies from turner to tuner, i.e some may class mine and savages scoobs as custom, where as others may say mine is stage 3 and his is 4 or the other way around. My advice is just take the mods with a pinch of salt and follow your own route, i just looked on different forums to see which parts where best and would give me the power and reliability i required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Im all set up and ready to go. Do most the work myself or borrow a ramp. This thread was just to try and make heads or tails of the different stages but it seems to be a non standard measurement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
