SK - does Stagea have a single unit for Auto ECU or is it like the R32 & R33 Skyline where there's a main unit and a secondary auto controller?

Why i'm asking is i'm wondering if the R32 auto ECU would have extra code compared to the manual ECU considering there's a separate gearbox controller.

Thanx

Yeh get the biggest cooler you can get and make sure its mounted somewhere to work efficiently. The auto needs heat to work properly, but too much and it will do damage.

Ill be dismaying some myths to do with automatic skylines/stagea and standard ecu's in general along with sk,

Im aiming more for 240-250rwkw with either a GCG hiflow or GT-RS depending on how much money i have at the time.

The emanage aparantly STILL has problems with burning coils, as much as i hear they've fixed it, is as much as i hear its still blowing coils. :Oops:

IF they have fixed it 100%, then the Emanage would be a better option than an SAFC2+SITC combination.

Im confident i can get a Z32AFM and S15 Injectors running well on the standard ecu with just the SAFC2+SITC. The only other real option is emanage, and they are still very clouded in my opinion.

Either way, things look promising for all the automatic owners :)

I should be finished this project and have results to post in jan/feb :burnout:

I have 190 rwkw and the standard transmission cooler on my 34. It overheated a little once at Wakefield which is a tight track but that was after about 15 laps. Cooled it down and it didn't happen again. Can't see why you would need anymore than that for the street although I should be heading well into the 200's soon and will be thinking about a bigger trannie cooler for the track.

If you fit oversized injectors then you trim a large % of fuel out with the SAFC etc then the ECU thinks its under much less load and the Auto outputs see less load also so keep the trim needed as low as possible.

We use a datascan on the Dyno when tuning hi powered cars with an SAFC and find timing ETC gets out of hand.

  • 1 year later...

When you say to whack on bigger injectors and then trim the fuel down using the SAFC, how are you going to control these injectors? Don't you need an ECU that is capable of controlling the new injectors?

The standard ECU is only programmed to run the stock injectors as far as I understand... correct me if I'm wrong.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
