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

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
