e46 HPF M3's are in the top 5 of my dream cars. That HPF kit costs more than the car

dayum!

just because i'm tired of wondering...what does all this "stage" sh!t mean??? I'm tired of seeing all these SRT4's, civic's, beamers, etc etc etc that say "stage 3" and thats it. I always considered it a ricer term, but they obviously have some sort of meaning. Anyone care to explain???







oh yeah, fast M3. Never was a beamer guy though.

I too am curious.

My brother-in-law has a mazdaspeed 3 and says its a stage 2. I think stage 1 is all the bolt-ons, stage 2 is ???, and stage 3 is everything plus a bigger turbo?

check out the HPF website, it explains the way they do the stages...

Not exactly positive but Im sure it changes with each car. For example on the 00-02 Audi S4's a stage one is adding a ecu upgrade, stage two is ecu and full exhaust, stage 3 is bigger turbo swap on top of that, stage 3+ is bigger turbos and fuel upgrades. Each car type is different I am sure.

 

[Buddy17]

so the "stages are different for every car then? I can't see stage 2 being meth injection on a srt4 or a civic.

From HPF for the M3, stage 1 is turbo/fuel. 2 is meth. 2.5 is built motor. 3 is bigger turbo and supporting mods.


is that the basics of how "stages" work?

didn't see your post...i see now what you mean, though

sorry for the interruptions!! :wf:

 

[RcodeStang]

Yes they're all different. Like stage 1 is injectors and a tune on SRT4s and stage 2 adds a new waste gate. Subaru "cobb stage 2" is an exhaust and a tune. Basically its ricer speak for bolt ons + tune unless you're talking about HPF M3s

 

[CobraJay]

Good Gawd!

 

[SVTullio]

HPF probably makes a turbo kit with different stages of aggressiveness and power, each one probably costing a bit more than the next and making more power.

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

Wow that M3 hauled ass.

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

I would think so too. The simpliest way to explain it would be like the Steig. port. Stage 1 port-Stage 5+.

Srt4

stg1 pcm & only injectors for the 03 as the 04-05 had 577cc factory
stg2 pcm, 3bar map & tip sensors, wg, 682cc injectors, toys bezel with intercooler sprayers, dial a boost & HOM
stg3 has pcm, different fuel rail & pump assembly, same stg2 injectors & sensors, bigger turbo assembly & toy bezel as stg2

you also have stg 3 4 5 from AGP and other vendors with their own manifold & turbos for the srt4.

most stg3 car always have bigger turbo upgrades as stg1 & 2's are fuel and more boost on a stocker.

I always considered it a ricer term

:bored:


anyhow, doesnt roush have a few vehicles in stages.

like the mustang was stage 1: body kit, stage 2: body and suspension, stage 3: body suspension and performance mods. the supercharger right?

the roush f-150 was also like this ?
