Hmm, I was running rotitional idle and anti lag on my little GTti.

Rotational idle was used to spool up the turbo on a standing start. >12psi from the word go! (Then it would hit 26psi @ 5,500rpm)

Anti lag was used between gear changes to keep the rather large hybrid turbo spinning.

I would use the rotitional idle as a crude form of launch control. The MoTeC M4 Pro was set to cut the coil packs, but still allow fuel to pass through.

While staging, you would hit the launch control button on the steering wheel, engage 2nd (Never first gear) clutch in, and foot flat to the floor on the loud peddle.

The MoTeC would hold the revs around the 5,000 rpm mark, but keep on cutting the spark to the cylinders at random. While the throttle was wide open, the resulting pulsing from the engine would cause the turbo to spool while you are standing still.

As soon as the clutch engaged (A micro switch on the clutch peddle) the MoTeC would then switch off rotitional idle and run the proper maps. (IE: 9,500rpm cut, and anti lag turned on)

I used rotitional idle to gain boost while standing still.

Worked VERY well, but produced 6 foot flames out the back. (Cat died a long time ago)

Had a 5-8 second window of using rotational idle, over that, everything started to heat up badly.

Anti lag 'can' be used to get the turbo to spool up before launching, but is a very crude form of doing this, since you have to rev the engine right up, then lift off the loud peddle to get the antilag to kick in.

At least with rotitional idle, I had the throttle wide open all the time!

Boy am i glad for google or i would never have looked here!

Hi dragon, my name is clay and i have recently bought a GTti.

I have been searching for someone that can tell me how to get great performance out of this little car and it looks as if i have found him.

I rang MRT but they were very unhelpfull as they dont do charade's anymore,,,,their suggestion was to buy WRX!

I also tried the daihatsu charade site but all they wanted to do was to bag me out about my job and my spelling!

Bunch of @#$%^&!!!

Still all is good now because i found this site and you!

Can you please fill me in on how you built that weapon of your's and what sort of power it was capable of?

Help me obi-wan.....your my only hope!

I can only assume you haven't answered me because this was lost in a thread so i posted a new one so you can hopefully help me out as you have helped so many other's!

:(

Thank's for this dragon! :)

Clay.

Oh come on... we give almost every newbie at roasting at the Charade board.

You're lucky to have found Dragon though, his G100 was an absolute ball-tearer, I've got videos of it doing a hillclimb, I'll email them to you, amazingly quick car!

If anyone in Australia knows how to get one of those Charades to move, it's Dragon! (well, Neil Trama had a hand aswell, but I think Dragon did a fair bit to it himself)

Was a very cool car too, I sat in it when I was in Brissie (unfortunately the gearbox, or was it the diff? was broken at the time :()

Cheers

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
