Should I Buy This Microtech?

[boot_it]

Im abit of a stuborn bastard, so im going with the LINK. Cant beat a wire-in unit for $970 . My auto electrician does his work really cheap so wiring it up will only be a couple of hundred. And if caminperth ran his NEO with an R33 ECU then I dont see why the LINK wont run it.

Cheers guys

why dont u just remove the vvti and just run a normal cam gear then u can run your link ecu no problems

[bloodsword27]

tell me how yours goes ok?...i'm getting my NEO into my R33 this week as well..having the same issues at the moment. not sure watto use. i know PFC is great and all, and i plan to use one in near future, but need something which allows VVT to work as well as work effective and efficiently. getting my mechanic to check it out..then i'll tell u guys n gals how it turns out..

Personally, my first choice would be to get an R34GTT loom and a Power FC.  My second choice would be an R33GTST loom and  power FC.  My third choice would be an R32GTST loom and a Power FC.  Myfourth choice would be to "wire in" the Power FC, its no harder to wire in a PFC in than any other computer.

It a simple the cost / performance ratio, you will spend far more money on getting the base tuning of any other ECU compared to a PFC than buying a harness will cost.

My choice would be to burn all the Power FC's and use stock remapped ECU.

Link suck too BTW....just thought I would add that. They suck more than any other computer on the market.

If you buy the Microtech you will have to get another wiring loom from Microtech as the BMW one will not suit your NEO engine...I didn't think that would need explaining. This will add to the cost of your install. Plus if you pay any more than $1200 for an LTX12 then you are getting ripped off.

we have a bright one here.

the pfc has run everything from 8sec drag gtr (1100 plus hp) to you every day driver plug and play and is most likely the most uesd and loved after market ecu for an RB engine bar none.

Thankyou.

You can run an 8 sec GTR on stock ECU. The factory ECU is far more manageable than the powerFC. The factory ECU can run an 8 sec GTR FAR BETTER than a PowerFC. The factory ECU is also far better for driveability on the street. Sure...many people opt for the power FC for ease of tune and coz that's what his fully sick mate got on his GTR but sacrifice driveability for it. And if you want to insult my intelligence again we can take it offline and I'll show you how bright I really am!

I could be wrong and probably are but doesn't the PFC designed for the Neo engine run the VVT? Now I could be a real dunce and have only imagined that for the last couple of years the PFC in my R34 was running the VVT but like I said I could be wrong.................

ok name a 8 sec factory ecu gtr for us all mate

as the car i talk of is well known around the world and has run in a number of different country not some .... imagination or is this all just i could be build like every other dreams comments(with not proof just babble). Next time you slag a product bring a brain and some fact or proof even.

APEXI PFC in my and hugh number of rb drivers around the world consider this the best plug and play ecu for street use (value for money like no other)

Apexi drag car runs over 1100hp and 8 sec 1/4

KW 8 and 9sec still runs the apexi pfc in his drag car(s) for monitoring a long side his full motec system, would you think he would buy both and installing a pfc if they were shit if he had a full motec going in also.

well some real cars and fact to chew on

Girls - stop the fighting. You're turning this guy's thread into a PFC v the world debate..

In short ANY ecu that will run an R33 rb25 with also run an R34 Neo rb25....

Choose what your tuner will support and be able to use.

[pnblight]

well guy come out and slags a product will no proof or fact so i felt it only fair to defend it will a few facts. And i like SK stand by the APEXI PFC as the best choice even if it requires a new loom as the cost will be out weighted when it comes to tuning as the pfc has 90% of the work done already and in the hands of a good tunew is only a couple of hours from a perfect tune no matter the state of mods to the rb (verse for example i was quoted 2 days to get a motec system up to speed) motec is awesome no doubt but you are starting from scratch with they systems and at the $$ per hour rate of dyno and tuner.

[caminperth]

Pete - sure, everything you've said is great as long as he has a tuner in New Zealand that supports the PFC. No point him getting one if the tuner doesn't know how to use it.

DRFT14 - let us know which way you go and how it ends up.

[pnblight]

anyone one how can tune any ecu can tune a pfc with hand controller it just takes a while to enter the data. Plus isnt NZ where the datalogger unit came from i believe they know more about pfc then we do.

I'd go the Microtech. They are easy to wire in. Very clearly labbeled wires, you won't need to go get the AFM or loom. Its cheaper and just as easy as the other options. LT12 is a great computer.

I wired my Microtech in myself and was very easy to do, I had never done anything like it before, got it right and have had no issues, so it can't be hard.

People always like to stick with what they know, most people on here love the PowerFC, maybe because they are an awesome plug and play and come ready to drive with little tuning required. Full tune for the Microtech only cost $300, so it can't be to hard to tune either.
