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?

yeah dowloand the pages for setting up, installing etc, and the stagea / skyline pages

you and/or your mech and his auto electrician will be able to do the job for cheap.

she'll work, she'll work

:rofl:

heads up guys

nother one on ebay US

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Apex-i-Supe...1QQcmdZViewItem

179.95 US

Sh!t, missed it!! thanks for the heads up though

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! :)

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
