Which Microtech?

[RB20JT]

hi guys,

my mate has a microtech LT-12s with plug and play for his R33, he is getting rid of it due top selling the car. However, i want to take it off his hands....but can this unit fit my rb20det? is the loom different? etc?

what would i need to make it...diff wiring loom? etc?

also what kind of price second hand should they be going for?

THANKS GUYS

you will need to swap two injector wires over (might even be able to do it in the software).

because the LT12S is full sequential you will have to change them, if you run group injection you will not even have to do that, but lose the benefit of full sequential.

look in the powerFC FAQ and its the same injectors you have to swap as you do when you use the Rb25 PowerFC on the RB20.

i can look it up if you get stuck, but yes, it will work on the RB20DET with a small wiring mod.

meh, as long as the loom is the same...my tuner can look after it...i havent spoken to him yet...but i thought i would as u guys first!!! thanks!!

ANY MORE HELP FROM ANYONE WOULD STILL BE APPRECIATED!!

Yeah you'll need to swap the wires. Injectors #4 and #6 are switched between RB20 and RB25.

Is it the guy who wouldn't do COD to me?

Its worth $1250 for the unit, about $250 for the plug. Thats a little cheaper than retail, but thats what you can get stuff for if you shop around.

So second hand, $1100 is a good price... just not good enough that I'll deposit it into a randoms account before I see some goods, lol.

One issue I'm worried about with the plug in option, is loss of HICAS and A/C control etc. If you wire it in yourself using the loom, you can let the microtech control injectors and ignition, with inputs from TPS, CAS, water temp and MAP, then let the stock do the rest.

If you remove the stock ECU completely... your microtech will have to take care of the other stuff. Hit your tuner up about that one.

You will need to send the ecu back to microtech and get it setup which is easy done saving changing wires

the loom is the same

And we charge $1650 supplied fitted and tuned

for the lt12s plug n play

Its two wires.... which you just swap over... I think thats easier than sending back to microtech...

anyway, can you tell us more about the microtech's ability to take care of things like AC and HICAS when the stock ECU is removed completely? Or doesn't the stock ECU effect these things??

the microtech contols the air con or idle air & stuff like thermos etc

you can also run a 2 step off it

but you will need to let microtech know when you order to customize it

Thanks mate. I'm currently after a second hand one, so I guess I'll just assume that if someone else was running it in a street car and have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask how they controlled their a/c and shit... they probably had it all taken care of by the tuner and its already been sorted.

Just not keen to grab a plug and play, then suddenly get stalling problems when I use the A/C.

Almost seems like cheating just plugging it in, lol, I'm excited.
