ages lol... plenum is getting re-done in 6mm n good for 100psi. so when thats back ill put it on n hopefully put motor in.... fab exhaust n cooler pipes. finish body work. put some tyres on my wheels. blah blah ect ect

Will it go onto a GTST gearbox, Ben?... What's it like to drive?

If you get you bottom end back before I get my motor I am going to personally drive to your place and smack you in front of your friends. >.<

Just a heads up for anyone that doesn't know much about ECUs and what ECU to get... Please just trust my judgment and most other knowledgeable people in this thread / forum and buy a Vipec or Link G4 that suits your vehicle.

Microtech are by far the shittiest ECU I have ever seen. PowerFC is even 10x better.

f**k. And they still market this shit at $2k just for the ECU. Why aren't they out of business yet....?

Because they do exactly what they say they are going to do and they do it reliably. Don't get me wrong, I f**ken hate Microtech ECU's but they are built for an intended purpose. The LT10 and 12 were never designed to be a high end ECU so I'm not sure why the price tag but they have definitely been making cars go fast for more than a decade.

They are shit to tune, yes. They have hardly any features or outputs/inputs, yes. There are much better ECU's on the market for most street applications, yes.

Most Microtech street applications were born from small wallet syndrome so unfortunately they were applied to cars they shouldn't have been.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
