In car modifications, "Stage 1, 2, and 3" refer to different levels of engine and performance upgrades, often used in tuning and remapping. Each stage represents a set of modifications and a corresponding level of power increase.
✅️Stage 1: This is the most basic level, often involving software modifications like remapping the Engine Control Unit (ECU) without major hardware changes. It can include things like a tune, flash tune, intake upgrades, or even basic exhaust components. The power increase is typically modest, around 10-30%.
✅️Stage 2: Builds upon Stage 1 and involves more substantial hardware modifications, such as an upgraded intercooler, downpipe, or a sports air filter. This stage can also include modifications like an upgraded turbocharger or compressor kit. The power increase is generally higher, around 20-50%.
✅️Stage 3: Represents the most extreme level of modification, often involving significant engine rebuilding and upgrades. This might include things like upgraded pistons, connecting rods, or crankshaft, and may also involve major modifications to the turbocharger or compressor. The power increase is typically very high, 50-70% or more.
▶️In essence, each stage represents a progression in the level of car modification, with higher stages involving more extensive changes and greater power increases.
