Oh hello Sir, do you have FCC approval for all that extra electronics emmissions and the substantial radiation threat you pose to passing aircraft?????

 

:rolleyes:

Sorry officer, I lost the glove box key :innocent:

It might seem a silly question - but what would you be doing different if you had a manual??

Ian

I would replace the standard ECU with a Power FC

:) cheers ;)

Hi SK,

Mate; is the Apexi Super Ignition Tinming Converter actually worth while using with the Stagea? :)

I just bought a Brand New one for $240US. I'll receive it in a few weeks hopefully. :lol:

Also ordered the Nismo fuel regulator from Nengun Performance that we chatted about, Ive already got a Z32 AFM, and will get the tune shop to supply high pressure fuel hose and clamps and install a Bosch 040 fuel pump.

With the above, and with my 141.3kw at the 4wheels (ebc, full 3inch exhaust, safc, r34gtt intercooler) what psi could the boost be safely used at, and what sort of power increase might the Stagea be able to obtain?

Kind regards mate, and cheers to you

Brendan :P

Hi Brendan, I have had my SITC installed for about a month, but I haven't had time to get it on the dyno and tune it. That's not quite correct, I have time to tune it, but no time to fit the exhaust and I figured it was a waste of dyno time until the exhaust was on.

I don't like running the standard turbo over 10psi, due to ceramic in the cat disease. I reckon you aren't going to get much over 150 4wkw until the turbo upgrade is done. But you will pick some average power by being able to manipulate the ignition separately from the A/F ratios.

;) cheers :)

:lol: Thanks for the advice SK.

It was a good price for a NEW Apexi Super-ITC, so I thought what the hell, just get one.

I'll have to decide whether I install it all (sitc, z32, fuel lines and pump) in December and have it re-tuned along with the Safc-II, or wait until Ive got a spare 2k for the turbo upgrade. Hmmmm.

Mind you, 150kw might be aok for a few years (allow me to sort the brakes and suspn first).

Cheers for your advice so far SK, greatly appreciated.

Brendan ;)

Manual conversion -> PowerFc -> No piggy backs needed

Hence, i am also trying to offload my DFA if someone wants it, i want the 79.95 that the kit cost, its already built and calibrated ready to go into the car, just never got around to installing it....

As always, will post Auswide :)

yeah maybe so, but the second mouse gets the cheese

do u know how u go about tunng one of these itc - do u stand over the engine bay while your cars doing 7000 rpm with the timing light and hope nothing goes bang.. sure u can judge 0-25 degrees but how can u 'guess' 30 or 40?

  • 6 months later...
This might sound like a stupid idea, but where is this fabled "timing light"??

Im all new to this self service car thing :(

You buy one from your local Repco, SupaChaep, AutoBarn, AutoPro etc.

:) cheers :rofl:

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
