Haha they just said there is enough timing adjustment in the cas so won't really need the sict for what I am doing. Its only a small thing to take our some fuel. I am changing motors later down the road

yea i get ya.... but id still rather use that than mess with the cas!

soon as would be great mate. need to get rid of em this week to pay my tuning bill! 200 is delivered, and pay pal price.

right. seems SAFC II is sold... unless this guy ^ is a nigerian prince and has stolen all the money in my pay pal account!

we will call it 180 nego for the SITC. cheapest one on the internet.

money is in paypal dude, well was. just transfered it last night so it hits my cash account friday...

sitc is also sold. will send both out saturday.

SITC is in my hands now, very good condition, good guy to deal with.

Whatever mechanic told you that there's enough adjustment in the CAS is smoking crack.

The CAS only adjusts BASE timing, the SITC allows timing adjustment at different RPM points and interpolates between them.

If you wind in more or less timing with the CAS all that does is add or subtract it from the entire rev range which is ENTIRELY undesirable. If you wind out too much timing (retard) to avoid high end detonation it will come on boost sluggishly and will not make decent peak torque and will rev slowly and generally be a dog to drive, you also run the risk of increasing EGT's way too much if you retard too far.

If you advance too much to make it come on boost harder and rev properly you will have way too much timing at peak torque and peak power which essentially means the engine will go boom.

I'm not trying to scare you, harass you or give you a hard time, I just want you to be informed so that your mechanic is not pulling a dodgy on you and doing things that will ultimately end up with lacklustre performance or worse, a busted car, which he will then charge you to fix after having already charged you for the work...

Thanks Paul, can't wait to install :)

That's cool, all I wanted whenI Igot mine was to add a bit of fuel but you quickly realize it's a balancing act. By adding fuel my timing was being retard which made it sluggish.

In your case, removing fuel, it will have the affect of advancing the timing, pushing you closure to the knock threshold.

The work around is wind the CAS back, which then makes it sluggish...

See how you go, but just understand that any fuel adjustment produces a subsequent timing change.

Feel free to PM me if needed.

Cheers

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
