You’re probably more than familiar with language like “stage 2 turbo” or “stage 3 tune” but if we really pressed you on the different stages of tuning, would you be able to lay out a definitive set of guidelines for what those stages actually mean? Does bumping up each stage mean I’m going to double my horsepower? Triple? Dare I say it, quadruple?! Well today on B2B, Uncle Jerry is going to get into the stages of tuning, and answer all your questions. Every question you have, he'll answer.

I would chuckle with the person who says that out loud lmao😂

i got stage 11 shifter knob addictive
My Miata headlight was missing some blinker fluid. No it’s 1337 horsepowers stage 7 zoom zoom!
Fuck! That means you will blind me with the hazards in a race. Time to break out the NOS, hope it doesn't blow up in a blue fireball!
Straight to Stage 7 “ejecto seato cuz”
lol omg how did this not come up on the cringy lines video?!!!
I saw that video. I hope they make another fast and furios video. I am not a huge fast fan. But there were cool moments. In my opinion the best being that scene at the end of ff 7 where they do the little send off to Paul walker. That part where Bryan and toretto were driving side by side and their lanes diverge was kind of sad.
Keep up the tradition😂👍

lol
I only have a stage 4 myself...double sided sticky tape
😂💀💀
*COOL VIBRATIONS*
XD
"I'm 15 grand into this project already" lol I felt that
Stage 1: bolt ons. Intake, exhaust, wheels, springs, exterior accoutrement.
Stage 2: headers, turbo (if equipped) back exhaust, seats, steering wheel, suspension (street), small aero improvements, brakes.
Stage 3: turbo (or s/c, all required now except big block) full ecm/tcm, upgraded suspension and brakes required, cage (probably) specific function in mind, aero is undoubtedly a problem now, chassis imptovements (tube frame?)
Stage 4: fully everything in that category as far as bolt on or off the shelf parts, ready to attack the track (in whatever form) from what you could find on summitt or Jegs, custom aero, no interior, frame mods, etc...
Stage 5: purpose built. Say no more. You have a goal and a plan to meet it. All manufacturers and all records are calculated. You know when you're here.
i think this is a perfect assessment.
Except this is so variable. My car has a stage 1 tune, and that’s just a raw computer tune to the transmission and the ECU. It goes from 290hp/290ft-lb torque to 365hp/380ft-lb torque. Bolt ons don’t happen until stage 2.
The stages not only depend on the tuning company, but also the car itself. Some cars can’t handle the added power and need upgrades. Some can, and can be tuned significantly before needing to upgrade hardware.
so if I buy a 350z for drifting and put a fly off handbrake in it, I have a stage 5 350z? perfect, this isn´t helpful at all imo.
I think solely considering engine upgrades. Stage 1: ECU tune only
Stage 2: Upgraded intercooler etc with a bit more tuning
Stage 3: Upgraded clutch, turbos etc with a tune
had my first car a 320d f30 bmw(184 sttok) stage 1 ed at 227 hp and like 500 nm , there were no parts changed just and ecu change.

Its hard to conceptualize a 2.0L making 500+ hp and 500+ ftlb torque. The Jerwagon is a truly remarkable car and what an incredible tune
A Focus ST can make about 450 horse without a whole lot done. And it’s also a 2.0l
powerful 2.0L exist. Some are decently reliable if done right too.
Mercedes-Benz M139 engine,
(2L 4 Cylinder) produces 416hp at the wheels
Plenty of examples of the civic type R out there making 500+ out of the 2.0 k20c1… now getting that power to the ground in a fwd is a totally different story
A stage 6 air intake is amazing!! I am so going to use that. And other things like "stage 4 wipers" aerodynamic for more speed. Or stage 5 Schrader valve caps. ( the little rubber stems used to fill air in your tires).
I got stage 7 valve stem caps (they’re made out of 40s&w casings)

The "Stage" nomelclature actually existed before Grand Tourismo, though I'll agree that the game did expand it's usage to the wider audience.
The one example I'm super familiar with is the Buick GS/GSX series starting in 1968 through '75 used "Stages" as an upgrade package options. Stage 1 got you the Wildcat 455 cubic inch engine over the Buick 350, dual exhaust over single, and a larger 4 barrel carb, arriving at the 360hp, 510ft/lb torque monster. Stage 2 was a very rare package option that was sold as a dealer option, or to wrench happy individuals and were shipped out in the trunk of the car, and less than 5 Stage 2 GSX packages were actually installed by the factory. High flow heads, high flow intake manifold, custom exhaust porting, a more aggressive camshaft, hollow pushrods for improved lubrication, forged piston heads, a tuned up 4 barrel carb are what's known, but there could have been other race-inclined options included. Their factory example had a much higher rear differential ratio than the usual GS (at 4.78) to help transfer all that torque to the tires, but I don't know if that was a thing that came with the Stage 2 package or not.
For me it was always like this:
Stage 1: Changing Software related stuff without changing anything physically
Stage 2: Changing external motor parts like exhaust, air filter, intake/exhaust manifolds, turbo related stuff
Stage 3: Swapping internals of the motor like camshaft, crankshaft, pistons, rods...
Exactly
and I guess stage 4 would be weight, aero, suspension, wheels and brakes?

Hey! Trevor here! Long time fan!! Love the show, I have learned so much from watching all you guys! I’ve been wondering about an episode idea, I don’t know too much about transmissions or gearing, stuff along those lines. I would love to see an episode about things among that category! Thanks guys! Keep it up!
The best part of Gran Turismo is after you fully stage out your car you can race modify it. The surprise that came along with what it look like after the race modification was the coolest. They should totally bring that back to like Forza or something.
“Super big ol honkin turbocharger” on an image of a supercharger
The engine that spins that supercharger is turbocharged, and has a stage pi tune. Duh.
The reason the rest of the car community laughs.
Definitely the editor’s fault and not his, he’s just talking but the editors add the images and graphics to the vid
so in conclusion and once a very wise man said: *"MO POWA BABEH"*
Well no, some stage 2 can make more power than stage 3. Stage means absolutely nothing.

@@RealNigga0190 Not sure what your situation is but it's truly never too late, and you don't need a school to teach you anything. God bless the internet, good luck.
Very good video. Thank you all! Jerry and the editing team. Big win on this one.
Nothing says, “I don’t know shit about cars” like when they start talking about “stage upgrades”
Agreed. I go to some Subaru meets, and people are like "What stage is it." And I'm like.... "Uh... Well, it has this this and that. " And they're like "Okay, but what stage."
Me: "Stage 2.37".
The only thing I use stages for is cams, because the kinda guys I talk to don't understand lift/duration and stuff. Other than that I might say "they call it a stage 2 trans" but then proceed to lay out that it comes with better clutch packs that are rated up to 600 ft-lbs input, a custom redone valve body, and a brazed 2200 stall lockup torque converter good for about 500 horsepower. And if I'm talking about something like I'm running twin 57mm precisions feeding a gen3 whipple, etc, etc, and they don't get it then I might dumb it down and say something like "think of it as a solid overall stage 6 setup that makes 1xxx horsepower (for the record I'm running a full bolt on motor right now making maybe 300, not dumb enough to run a thousand horse motor on a 500 horse cobverter.
I wanned to Unserstand but i only hear: TURBO CHARGER, DODGE DEAMON, TUNING, FUEL INJECTORS, EXHAUST, HORSEPOWER, STAGE 1, 2, 3, GRAN TURISMO, PERFORMANCE, MODIFYING, PROGRAMMING THE SOFTWARE, AUDI, SUPRA, REARWHEEL,
Unless they’re talking about the tune itself this is true...
Definitely. "stages" are something you would find in a video game or something. Has no relation to real life tuning.

Stage 5: **DANGER TO MANIFOLD**
Jeremiah: "200hp, 200ft/lbs, rwd"
me: "sounds like my stock Z31"
Jeremiah: " *JERVAGEN* "
TL;DW: They’re relevant within the same company. Don’t compare stages across cars or brands.
The only thing you can *kinda* compare across manufacturers is cams, generally beyond stage 3 suffers heavy drivability penalties to deliver better peak, and generally a stage 1 is the only one that can be used with an otherwise stock valvetrain, generally stage 2s and 3s need better valve springs and retainers.
TLDR, is is video game non-sense that idiots who don't know about cars brought to the car world. Or alternately explained, it is video game non-sense that marketing people from performance companies brought to the car world to sell to a larger group of people than just actual car people.
"Well this isn't a history show"
Man that hit hard.
Honestly I feel like they sort of are a history show. I've thought about all the various car channels on TH-cam (and elsewhere), and Donut is mostly "how did this car, model, company, way of things in driving and the automobile industry, etc, come to be?" They've sort of diversified from that more recently, but much of their main originals - Bumper2Bumper, Up To Speed, and Wheelhouse - are of this vein.
Other popular car channels:
MightyCarMods: "What nonsense can we do with this car?"
RegularCars: "What does this car mean, in it's time and now, and who is it for?"
Top Gear/Grand tour: "How can these cars make 3 old British guys behave like middle schoolers?"
Engineering Explained: "How does this car work?"
"but we are not here to talk about the HISTORY of race tuning, oh no, we're here to talk about what it's like to own a tuned car!"
The "Jerwagon" needs to be a 5 cylinder, for it's torque and it's sweet, sweet sounds!
In the UK the general understanding is;
*Stage 1* - ECU software *only*
*Stage 2* - ECU + Bolt ons/Induction kit
*Stage 3* - All of the above +Turbo Upgrade/ Supercharger.
*Stage 4* All of the above + Fully built / forged engine
Sounds like the srt4 dealer stages

And then how to tell what is what on an engine.
And then what fluids needs to come out for any given job T_T
Love that this came from GT.
True what you say about stages, I am getting a stage 2 on my car in March.
This is a high flow turbo back exhaust system.
Uprated induction kit (stage 1 is filter change)
Stage 2 intercooler (a larger cooler, as per stage 1, but ducted)
Upgraded clutch.
Stage 2 remap by REVO (reflash of stock ECU)
~36% increase in power estimated.
Thank you so much for finally calling out the stage BS. I've been waiting a long time for someone to agree with me.
Finally i learnt more from this video than my Mechanics course in this semester
I remember when I started learning about cam upgrades for LS3s I remember reading one site that said a stage 1 cam was generally a +30 hp gain and I installed a stage 1 from TX Speed and it gained me about +90 hp.
jesus fuck, if only i could do that to my FA20
I hate how they denote everything in stages. That literally tells you nothing. Intake/Exhause duration, lift and lobe seperation are much more helpful. I always see people get the biggest cam they can find only to find out their engine becomes completely unusable on the street and there's not even enough vacuum to work the brake booster.

@@helaasonbekend4137 it just so happens to be the year we live in!
nah fam, subaru guys started this stage nonsense
yeah stages only apply to certain parts from certain manufacturers but to say a car is a "stage 1" build is just dumb.
Stage is just part tolerance actually
I usually see stage numbers used most on clutches, which makes a lot sense. You can easily get an idea of how aggressive the clutch it based on its stage number.
"stage" mods also vary by car - For example, in a WRX or STi stage 1 is commonly accepted as an aftermarket tune, stage 2 involves a downpipe (high flow cats or catless) and tune. Stage 3 is where it gets wonky though, as it's usually fuel system, turbo and/or intercooler upgrades and a reflash, but it gets pretty "a-la-cart" depending on the individuals goals. CAI & catback can be done whenever as they don't really have an impact on the cars performance (CAI usually has a negative impact though).
Day one of asking for speeding ticket stories
Isn’t that literally just VinWIKI

Thats why I love vinwiki. I wanna hear how badly they've been caught and what they do in their personal lives
me slapping a big ol sticker on my car: "+5000 buff horsies on this stage 69 sticker"
In Russia it’s simple, stage 1 is just a remap, maybe with some air filter mods, stage 2 is intake and exhaust replacement. Stage 3 starts with replacing your turbo, but the rest of the engine is stock, any modifications to an engine (cams, pistons, etc) considered to be a stage 4.
In the Subaru community we have a pretty widely accepted "stage" system, its mainly just a quick way to sum up what kind of mods we have. But it's unique to each Make, like a stage 2 Subaru WRX isn't necessarily the same as a stage 2 VW GTI.
i always thought people who say "stage x" just learned how to drive manual in forza.

Final stage let's go boys
so damn helpful and so well put together , THANK YOU
Grand tourismo give the concept "stage", but without standardization
But there's a tuning shop that specializes in modifying audi came up with proper standardization for the "stages" to support their tunes and remap , from stage 1 to stage 3+
Then many tuner follow the steps and came up with their stages, but those stages more or less gave the same ways of modifying from basic remaps to upgrading hardware to support the massive power bump
Jeremiah has come a long way presenting since his start at Donut, love to see it!

Almost at 300 days, lets go
Keep going man!
Its really sad the fact that after all this valuable informations and the great work you guys are doing in this channel we only see 5m subscribers!
this was a much needed video, we all have seen those stages in games and floating around but nothing tied to it... personally i was thinking maybe it came with special turbos combined with intercoolers... but explained like that, this makes a lot more sense. also, if you have the game Automation and BeamNG Drive, you could make that "Donut Jerwagon" a thing!
Thank you for a very nice and simplified explanation. I have had the same questions for a long time: how do you compare different company stages, but now i know everyone markets their own numbers. My only question is: Is it going to be cumbersome on the engine when you upgrade to higher stages? Are there side effects on the engine when you are now pushing the engine harder?
you'll lower engine life expectancy and possibly have to rebuild it with reinforced parts
I've always thought of stages like so
Stage 1: street upgrades, nothing crazy, no track days
Stage 2: street/ track upgrades, for a car you can drive to a track day and drive it home
Stage 3: full on racecar stuff
I dare say, most race cars don't use these things. A lot of GT4 class race cars, like the GT4 Mustang, GT4 Camaro, etc., actually don't have a single engine mod... Basically just better brakes, wheels, and slick tyres. Maaaaaaaybe racing coilovers.
B-Spec touring cars, for example, use almost entirely unmodified Ford Fiesta (non-ST trim) or MINI Cooper non-D type cars with ~110 WHP in racing spec
Spec Miata, basically all unmodified engines...
A majority of modern race cars, you don't really have to turn wrenches on them. Remove interior, weld in a cage, bolt in safety equipment and you're done.
What in reality they are, "reality can be whatever I want it to be"
Even that's inconsistent though.
One tuning company's "Stage 4" is another's "Stage 2".
Only thing the stage numbers is good for is to tell the buyer in which order to buy and install the packages.
Thanks for the important info you made this so easy for people starting to tune their cars like me, after this video i was able to successfully blow a rod through my motor
Short end of the stick, unless you're a professional in the industry, probably best to consult with your local performance shop to see what they recommend. Using someone reputable is important. They are going to be the ones that are not only familiar with the work required, but have the insight on how to tune it.
So many people try to cheap out by adding major components to a OEM set up, then it breaks down.

- Stage 2: ECU Tune, Intercooler, Exhaust, Downpipe, (Kw) Air filter
- Stage 3: ECU Tune, Hybrid Turbo, injectors, intake manifold, hp pump, and more
I love the big old honking turbo is a Vortech.
You guys have made me feel old.
Thanks a lot!
