Hi guys I'm looking for a way to tune my s1 stagea

It's currently running a garret 2871r and 3 inch exhaust but before putting it on a dyno I would like to fit bigger injectors and a z32 afm to maximise the potential of the turbo.

I would like to know if anyone has heard of using a rb20 gts4 auto ecu and installing a nistune board to tune a stagea?

I used this method to nistune an old r33 but am unsure if the gts4 ecu will play around with the 4wd system in the stagea.

I would think its not the awd but the auto you have to worry about. The Attessa has a seperate ecu but the S1 stagea ecu contains the auto ecu - don't know what the story is with the R32GTS4. Your best bet may be to piggy-back an E-manage ecu.

I've spoken with my tuner this morning who works alongside the development of nistune and he's going to talk with them and find out if it's possible. I wonder if the transmissions are much different between the 32 and stagea.

Pretty sure you just need the R32 gtst ecu from an AUTO.

Nistune that board.

Then the hard part is rewiring the 3-lines of pinouts of the S1 to the 2-lines of pinouts to the R32.

Keep in mind that there are wiring differences in S1 ecu's.......

I bought a wiring loom already done with a 32 ecu. It started ran and drove but was too lumpy for my mods. Double checked the wiring and everything looked fine, but i had my doubts because the way it was wired didn't make sense to me. But I tried it in good faith.

It should never have been sold to anyone and should have been thrown away

Took it to get tuned and he said he would check the wiring too but once on the dyno it melted 6 coilpacks. Took it home and cut all the wires and marked them and triple checked the wiring. It all went to where it should. But still didn't make sense on why it was wired like it was (really messy) ((like really messy))

I wouldn't bother with a nistune and I'd go a brand new piggy back.

If you really want you can have the ecu and wiring loom for 100. I was going to throw it away and sell the ecu for 100.

Very well explained....as I was going to think bout nistune as well till this happened

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
