Hey all,

Just installed my SITC last night. Just wanting to make sure everything is working ok. When I just switch the ignition to on (not start car though) the lights do a little dance and then go Red. Kick the car over then the first one is Green, Second is orange and the last 3 a Red. Is that normal or should they all be green. I used a timing light and tried the 800rpm knob from 10 degrees retard to advance and thats what it showed on the crank when look at it with the light. So i assume that since this knob is working the rest will too.

Thank for any help

Josh

yes that is correct. You should be able to hear the difference in timing at 800rpm going from -15 to +15.

The unit also tracks what revs you are at. For example if you are at 4000 rpm the 4000 rpm light will be green, the 5600 and 2400 will be orange and the rest will be red.

Im a bit gutted it doesnt have an adjustment point for 4600 rpm as thats where the ECU R&R really cuts out.

Yeah sweet. I was only testing it at idle but could hear the revs change when retarding and advancing the 800 knob. And I double checked it with the timing light. Now just have to get it and the safc tuned. I have both units set at zero correction and after fitting the front mount I have raised boost to 10psi and man is it running like sh#t. From about 3000 the ecu is really retarding the timing and then kicks back in again around 4800 to 5000. Light throttle normal driving is ok but when I go wot the map feels like its all over the place not to mention worse fuel economy then I was getting before so I'm assuming I'm hitting R&R. The car has previously made 150awkw with the previous owner but no piggy backs so am hoping for at least that again. However I'm guessing its had a few piggy backs in its life going but the amount of tapped wires on the ecu loom :stupid:

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what sort of adjustment settings I should expect to be needing with my S-ITC. I am not planning on doing this myself, car is going on a dyno, but wanted to have an idea to tell the tuner where to start and to compare what he comes up with. I also have a S-AFC neo going in at the same time.

Car:

97 Stagea RS4

Mods are:

*BOS Split front dump pipe

*CATCO Metal Cat

*3" trust exhaust (not sure exactly what one, has two oval mufflers though - from R32 and modded to fit)

*Turbotech mechanical boost controller (These are gated, so actually hold pressure to specified Psi, doesn't just bleed air off constantly. Pretty sweet for $30)

*R34 Skyline Intercooler

*K&N panel filter

*radiator air deflector :D

Planning to be running 9-10Psi boost, depending on what the air temps with just a sidemount cooler look like.

Thanks,

Stu

You'll be fine with 11psi.

I'll get some info on my settings tonight (or try a search on: Tangles SITC settings, Tangles SAFC settings).

edit: here we go http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...hl=Tangles+SITC

thanks guys,

looking to get it all done in the next few weeks so will let you know the power figures and settings for comparison. Also have a GTR fuel pump going in, to be on the safe side :(

Where can i get a SITC from? i am having trouble finding it...

here's one for you :w00t:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-NEW-NEW...sspagenameZWDVW

Just keep an eye on eBay (US site www.ebay.com) as they pop up pretty regularly. 'Used' ones are usually $199. I got mine of this seller in 4 days.

Got my Apexi SITC from Japan though ebay. The instructions are in Japanese but there is a translation somewhere on the internet. If anyone needs it I have the PDF pages for the Stagea. will attempt to attach them but if that doesn't work I can email them.

I would love a copy of these while I can! There are no other alternatives to the S-ITC that I can find (like jaycar iebc / apexi safc are alternatives) so I will probably need to get one of these one day. Can you have a go at posting it here first so we can all benefit, or else PM it to me? Cheers :)

guys try this link:

do you need me to scan the stagea wire diagram?

its here on the site: http://www.ca.dsm.org/Tech/S-ITC-p.10-11.pdf

*grabbed* awesome, thanks Tangles! Do you know if this suits series 2/R34 as well as series 1?

If I've the chance to get a apexi sitc should I go for it??

Car sits as follows, downpipe, decat, hks exhaust, uprated hybrid turbo, uprated fuel pump, apexi airfilter, uprated coil pack, greddy fmic, greddy boost control.

Yes definatley as although they do come up they're still not easy to get. But get a Apexi SAFC while your at it. That way you'll be able to tune Fuel and Timing. Also when you do make changes on the SAFC it can have an effect on the timing also which can be dialed out with the SITC.

Cheers for the fast reply mate! I got one second hand still in box and in good condition ;)

just looking for a well priced safc now! :)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
