Hi guys I'm looking for a way to tune my s1 stagea

It's currently running a garret 2871r and 3 inch exhaust but before putting it on a dyno I would like to fit bigger injectors and a z32 afm to maximise the potential of the turbo.

I would like to know if anyone has heard of using a rb20 gts4 auto ecu and installing a nistune board to tune a stagea?

I used this method to nistune an old r33 but am unsure if the gts4 ecu will play around with the 4wd system in the stagea.

I would think its not the awd but the auto you have to worry about. The Attessa has a seperate ecu but the S1 stagea ecu contains the auto ecu - don't know what the story is with the R32GTS4. Your best bet may be to piggy-back an E-manage ecu.

I've spoken with my tuner this morning who works alongside the development of nistune and he's going to talk with them and find out if it's possible. I wonder if the transmissions are much different between the 32 and stagea.

Pretty sure you just need the R32 gtst ecu from an AUTO.

Nistune that board.

Then the hard part is rewiring the 3-lines of pinouts of the S1 to the 2-lines of pinouts to the R32.

Keep in mind that there are wiring differences in S1 ecu's.......

I bought a wiring loom already done with a 32 ecu. It started ran and drove but was too lumpy for my mods. Double checked the wiring and everything looked fine, but i had my doubts because the way it was wired didn't make sense to me. But I tried it in good faith.

It should never have been sold to anyone and should have been thrown away

Took it to get tuned and he said he would check the wiring too but once on the dyno it melted 6 coilpacks. Took it home and cut all the wires and marked them and triple checked the wiring. It all went to where it should. But still didn't make sense on why it was wired like it was (really messy) ((like really messy))

I wouldn't bother with a nistune and I'd go a brand new piggy back.

If you really want you can have the ecu and wiring loom for 100. I was going to throw it away and sell the ecu for 100.

Very well explained....as I was going to think bout nistune as well till this happened

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
