Yeah I find it hilarious because you could be stage 3 and get smoked by some kid in a shit box with np stages but understands engines and transmissions very well
A stage 1 package at my shop is intake filter, back box delete and tune, a stage 2 package is upgraded intake manifold, decat pipes and sometimes injectors, stage 3 is absolutely anything goes to max out what your car can make or jsut throw a couple more parts on and make a little more power
For me Stage 1 is just ECU remap, stage 2 is an upgrade of engine externals (hybrid turbos, intercoolers, intake & exhaust mods, injection system etc.) Stage 3 = engine internals modifications (aftermarket camshafts, forged parts, increasing volume, things like that)
Seems counterintuitive when a lot of engines will need forged internals almost immediately after adding forced induction. Miata inline 4's should get forged rods before trying to push over 300 crank, might as well so your piston heads and rings while you're in there. Blocks good for 400 but I wouldn't wanna push that so might as well hone and sleeve. Not gonna get much more than 300 crank without valve float so you wanna do the springs... it just keeps going. End point; stages are a dumbass way to classify anything other than specific parts or specific tunes on already FI engines.
You are wrong and stupid. There is no "for me". Stage 3 is turbo. 4 is forged pistons rods intercooler and if not already at stage 3 then injectors. Stage 5 is fully built.
Stage 1,2, etc. is just reffering to the Grand Turismo upgrade system, which calls upgrades stages to make it easier to understand how powerful of a upgrade you give a car
Never had someone ask me what “stage” is under my hood until recently. Some highschool kid & I could tell he’s obviously interested in cars so I broke down what I’m doing to the car rn cuz it’s currently stock. Seemed like a nice kid just tryna learn. Next time I see him maybe it’ll finally have the ZF 5 speed in it. I got all the parts just waiting for my mechanic to get back to me. I’d go to my buddys and do it ourselves but I want it done 110% correctly so I’d rather pay my other buddy 1 days of work to make sure it’s done right & I have a my car back on the roads quick. I’ve never done a trans swap & if I were to do it myself it’s not also my daily. I’ll get a different daily sooner or later but until then some stuff the guy that knows these cars like the back of his hand can do the major things like a trans swap.
Depends on the platform you're on. For my car it's stage 1 is tune exhaust intake. Stage 2 adds intercooler and DP. Stage 3 is fuel and Big turbo. NA cars are going to be vastly different. Probably same Stage 1 then heads cam for Stage 2.
I always thought it went like this • Stage 1 was bolt ons that aren’t a part of the engine(intake, exhaust, etc) • Stage 2 was top of the engine(heads, cam, etc) • Stage 3 was bottom end(crank, rods, etc) All that was with the assumption that tune would be applied with each stage.
Stages are arbitrary and it changes from car to car. It's really only helpful in forums, where a bunch of people own the same car and all know exactly what "stage _" entails.
In the euro scene is different, I have a stage 2 tunezilla tune, an intake and a down pipe on my Jetta but we don’t have stage this or stage that for parts. We only refer to tunes as stages, and the tune sets the parts that we’ll need.
To think the term of different stages vary depending if it’s NA or forced induction, a stage 1 car is like intake exhaust Tune on a NA car, stage 2 is like throttle body headers and almost full build stage 3 is FBO, for boosted car this term applies more
Honda doesn't really do that stage stuff, more like built head/block, fbo n e85 and a custom tune, all the "off the shelf" tunes on hondata are there just to get the car running to get to the dyno. Bmw on the other hand has specific stage tunes but I'm sure you could still get a dyno or street tune
you can do tunes stock, at each stage of an upgrade imo you should be tuning, but if you're doing a year long build just tune at the end... especially since there are so many shitty tuners you wanna spend big on the tune
And none of those stages account for any work done to suspension? Chassis strengthening? Transmission? Aero? Weight reduction? Does driveability come into the equasion like changing out the steering wheel or a seat to keep you better in place on track days?
Isn’t like stage 1 some easy bold on parts and maybe an ecu tune. stage 2 turbo/supercharger kit, high quality dyno tune and a lot of other stuff. Stage 3 High quality engine internals and all the good stuff
Hi i have 2024 kia telluride. I currently installed k&n cold air intake. I would like to do more on my car from your shop. What would you recommand me? By the way, i live in California
what would a stage one tune do to a q50 3.7? im still trying to keep reliability into the mix. I just don’t want my gas mileage to shoot down and more maintenance be required.
When some says "yea my car is stag-" nope, I cut it off there and walk away, I don't want to hear a stage, I want to hear what you fucking done to the car
This guy should have clarified that he’s mostly only talking about wrx stages. Every car is different and most of the time the use of stages is stupid but with the wrx it’s actually quite useful to have each stage tune as you upgrade your car.
Everyone always forgets to do stage 0. Slapping an eBay intake on a car with 300k miles means nothing when the rings are so bad its smoking like a 2 stroke.
This is for all the kids who don’t work on cars but just buy a car and have a shop put the parts on. A car isn’t something that’s described by stages. A car is like a woman that you can fix to your liking. Put some new heads and rotating assembly and it’s like she got bigger tits, put in some shorter gears and it’s like she got a BBL. New master cylinder and brake system and it’s like she got her nails done. New distributor and carb and it’s like she got her hair done. You don’t describe what work you’ve done to your car but saying “Im on stage 2 bro”
So youre telling me i skipped all the stages and went to straight stage 3+ after i swapped out my cam for a sloppy stage 2 cam with no tune in my truck or intake

nahhh dude stage 1 is ECU and basic mods to the engine that add a bit of power, bring out the edge of the factory engine, including a cold air intake most of the time stage 2 is getting a bit serious, its often a sizeable power increase, like an exhaust, headers, turbo and the full kit w intercooler etc stage 3 is the seious shit where you would increase the power exponentially, to the point where the engine needs extensive mods to keep up with the power increase. these mods are no longer flashy but functional, like forged pistons, valves, springs, camshafts, upgraded clutch, oil coolers etc... there are not really any "+" stages, your car either falls into a category or doesnt. simple as.
This is entirely wrong. The stage and mods that go with each stage are entirely dependent on the car and the tune. Stage 2+ on my GTi is the next size up in turbo, injectors, hpfp, intercooler, and the tune that goes with it and stage 2 is just a 3 inch downpipe and tune
Fuck stages. I literally take out a spreadsheet i printed and my job of what the car has installed Saying your car has "stage #" is just already confusing enough for me like last time i went to a car meet all i heard from people asking on whats on my car was "what stage #?", literally pulled out a spreadsheet instead
