Alright,

I am on the market for a new ecu for my R32 GTST , main requirement is it has to be MAP, i have narrowed it down to eigther Microtech or Linkecu.

I am after your personal experience with both these Brands to help me decide on eigther unit

Cheers

Cameron

Has to be Map so can run without piping, plus my afm's on its way out :)

Mercury or Millennium Motorsports will be tuning it they both have said eigther is fine.

current mods are

higmount

t70

Front mount

Hybrid dual stage boost controller

HKS Cam's

HKS Cam Gears

Bosch 040

550cc injectors

Future plans in progress atm

Bore too 82mm

Rb26 crank and rods

Forged tomie pistons

Port and polish the head

cheers

If you dont want to spend Motec or autronic money - i would have thought a Apexi Power FC D -Jetro would have been a wise choice for a 32?

Link is crap and Microtec I cant comment on as Ive never used one or been in a car with one.

spend the money once and once only. go autronic. nothing but good reports and i have only ever seen great results with them. get yourself a quality tuner who knows his stuff and build up a good relationship. you ll get the power u want!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
