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?

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:

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
