Hi there. As the title says i had the SITC tuned on my R33 GTST along with the retune of the SAFC.

Personally i was hoping for a bit more but Nigel said the car with it's current mods is about spot on.

He also made a good point in saying he could always have acheived a higher result, but do you want

a good safe tuneor an unsafe tune. Mods are Walbro 255lt pump, full exhaust, FMIC, SAFC-SITC combo

and standard turbo running 12 psi using the turbotech controler. Cheers :Ppost-10771-1146917525.jpg

Mate thats a nice result... anywhere near 190rwkw with that combo / turbo I would consider to be good.

If my car was rwd thats the sort of figure Id expect.

Query - your car manual or auto?? Auto I presume...............

My Rb25det auto 4wd Stagea has 160awkw @ 12psi, similar mods. Im hoping for 210-ishawkw with a highflow at 1bar

Hey Tangles. No the car is manual. I only got the SITC because i already had the SAFC.

mick what was the afr ??? also do you have a before the SITC and after ???

I foudn this when looking up info on the SITC might help someone if they don't have the manual

Cheers Leigh

Hi Leech. Not sure on the AFR's as i assumed this would have been on the print out.

It only seems to show the boost levels (not bad turbotech controler). Before and after

as in power output only minimal as it was more for the sorting out timing issues. But

as previously said the power is much more smooth and nicer to drive. Also the drive

home didnt have any pinging issues which is always good. I am interested to see whether

or not pinging is present during the warmer days? :P

how much are these SITC? i have been looking at the SAFC2 for awhile now doing some reading on them but not as yet looked at the SITC?

Only because i already had the SAFC i purchased the SITC due to tight arse issues.

The best advise i can give to you as many would i think agree is that:

If i didnt have neither the SAFC or ITC i would have saved up for a power fc. Trust me

this is the way to go. Do not bother with an SAFC ITC. :(

Hi there. No i havent as yet been down the quarter. You should get

some good gains once the SAFC is tuned. But you will still have the

issues of timing. I was getting an awfull holding back feeling from

10psi before the SAFC (like someone has applied the handbrake slightly),

which is the rich and retard thingy i believe. SAFC fixed it nicely with a 25kw

gain as well. :(

mick, you should think about selling the safc and itc and get a pfc later down the track.

Then you have a lot more tuneing options if you decide to say open the engine or slap a bigger turbo on. :laugh:

just a thought, simon

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
