Dicktator review

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!

Slide that means dont buy the South African junk! Go save your money and get a Apexi Power FC. Why would the world use it if its not the best???

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

dont stress slide'em...

although i agree with Dr G, the gotech can control your vvt for you!!!

its working fine on n1smo's sx!

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!

Perfect Power XMS can also control your VVT. The sr20det system is much like the toyota 20v vvt or daihatsu vvt. Not like V-tec at all. The SR20VE (VVL) has cams with secondary lobes for high rpm. That's the equivalent of Vtec.

IIRC the VVT gear on the SR20DET needs replacing after about 120k km (don't quote me on this) and it's very pricey. Also, most modded SR's make better power and tune easier without the VVT. That's why everyone changes it.

Dicktator can control VVT.
