I just like the fact that you can connect the dictator to the CAS, so you don't need a new pickup sensor. I am sure there are a lot of systems that will also be able to use the CAS...
VC you running Crank angle sensor or is there a CAS setup with your gotech?

still getting to that stage in the build.
louis from gotech says they dont use the CAS on the sr20det cos they have problems with it, but i'm still keen to try it out!
will def let you know!

i just thought there may be new developments...
with gotech I think they run a 60-2 wheel with most wasted spark applications.
Mine just sometimes take long to start, I think as a result of this pickup...
Other than this I think the Gotech system is excellent.

i think most cars take long to start because of their tuners...
but i may be wrong!

Thing is dicktator costs R2950 for the wasted spark version and a further R650 for the recommended ingnitor module.

so then its the same price as the gotech pro!
mine was 3500-00. if i cant get the CAS wheel to work then it will be an extra 700 for the 60-2 configuration.

Now im left a bit confused....
I have the SR20DET black top and has variable timing... (like vtec but not quite)
I am concerned that all the fore mentioned options may not take that into consideration....
Any advise?!? pweeez!
What Id rather be dooing!

Best advice is to disconnect that VVT and get a normal SR20 cam gear.

Ok so I've been contemplating dicktator for my N/A build, purely because I believe there are more ppl who can tune it till it's eyes water.
But I'm starting to think Gotech has a slightly superior system for slightly more money. (dicktator std @ R2100) would work on my NA.
Question is, who in Jozi can tune the gotech well? I had PP XMS on my previous NA car and it is a great system. Problem was it ws $$$ and there were only 2 ppl I could take it to to tune. Calibrator and PP themselves.

What are the pro's and cons of this. Seriously Management mods for Vtecs and the 20v Rsi are readily available. Does the nissan option have a scarcity disease, kinda like nissan sa's service...
I get that the gotec has the option...and ill ask n1smo if it werx 4 him. Seriously is that the only option?!?. Searched the web for a while and came up dry!
