Microtech Vs. Wolf 3D

[GTStR32]

Its time i think to do the computer, so what are peoples experiences and oppinions on theses two computers, what are there advantages and disadvatages?

Thanks

[meggala]

look at greddy emanage as well if you can

I have the Plug'n'play Wolf, and I'm very happy with the overall computer, especially the number of functions that it can do.

[T0nyGTSt]

Wolf is closed loop AFM?

i have a microtech in my car... its the 3rd time im using and 3rd time hating... unfortunately it came in the car when i bought it

[GTStR32]

What do you hate about it dude

[C_DawG]

Power FC?

I am very happy with the Wolf 3D plug-in myself. Do a search on both ecu's and you will find a wealth of information.

If you have a R32 why change you ecu, just get it rechipped? Even though i am very pleased with the wolf, it can never run as smoothly as the factory ecu. My problem was that R33 are not programmable.

I agree... get the r32 ecu rechipped it will cost you a lot less than a new ecu.

[Turbo Tits]

i disagree that aftermarket ecu's can never run as smoothly as factory ones.

all you need is a good ecu, very competent tuner, and the money to keep going back for fine tuning.

afterall... factory ecu's are programmed by humans too... the only difference is that your average car manufacturer has a team of professionally educated boffins trained to tune their motors and the money to pay them.

if only your average joe was so lucky.

Well I think that aftermarket ECUs can run as well as stock ones, but if you go modding too much eventually idle and low rpm will suffer - not much you can do about it as things like bigger cams, injectors, penums optimised for higher rpm etc - it all adds up, which is something alot of people dont seem to realise when they head down the mod path.

I am quite sure someone will tell me about a beast of a car that totally disproves the above, but it is just what I have seen and experienced -

0.182c not including GST:)

Nice Turbo's Tits, im getting mine done soon

i also say aftermarket ECUs can run as smooth as factory, and if you've modded, then even smoother than factory in the case of the 33, for which with FMIC boost etc, doesnt run real good with factory ECU!

[MrMayhem]

smooth ? ....... My Autronic ran as smooth as factory total all round drivability.

gtstr32 where are you bud, theres people all over the show capable of chip n tuning the 32 ecu might be a wise alternative.

[Al]

OK, i felt this topic too open.

What i ment was that Millions of dollars are spent by the manufacturers to make an ecu run the engine and other parts, IN STANDARD FORM, really smoothly. This includes, cold, warm and hot start ups, fuel economy, a/c, and a whole lot of other shit.

I am very pleased with the running of my ecu and have no further problems, but with a R32 on can modify just the required areas/fields of the map to receive a VERY similar result.

Just my 2c

[MrMayhem]

definately

think of those spare funds being put towards other things

[GTStR32]

Thanks for your input guys

appreciate it

[Guest drift_me_silly]

it all comes down to application...for street, the factory chipped computer will always be the best value for money...and i hear what Turbo titts is saying; finetuning that takes place at teh factory has to take place at a workshop paid hourly by you to acheive the same or better results...the one and only thing that will always sway my mind back to the aftermarket is the resolution. -that also affects my choice of comp....but always, the resolution will be the defining factor of how thoroughly you CAN tune it. money money money......all that money....
