How much did they charge you for an install & tune?

price is irrellevant if the result is good..... i would much rather pay a bit more for something im happy with than pay nothing a nd get a shit job... which is more often the case.

I agree totaly, I have rang up a few guys and they say that it would cost $500 & then they go on to tell me that the microtech isn't that great of computer & compared to other ecu's such as wolf or ems (which they are authorised dealers in) he wouldn't be able to acheive the same result which in my mind is crap because that just points out his inexperience they have with the Microtech.

^^ its kinda true though the LT-12 is pretty basic and the cpu is extremely slow.... BUT thats not to say its crap, its just a cheap ecu that does the job.

Reviving one of my old threads here, is there an example of how you can back up this statement? Not having a dig, just curious to actually know what the issues are, and given the right tuner could they not bring out the best in the Microtech??

I would have to agree, they are a crap computer... but the newer models seem to be doing a pretty damn good job for many cars ive seen them installed on.

Tuning one is as easy as tuning a 1990's TV

Yeah ive seen Rank Rotary pump out a few cars over the years with Microtechs (and not rotors). owners have been happy

(350rwkw applications)

ECU's are limited by thier features Michael, and i think that the LT12 doesnt have "all" the features other newer ECU's have.

But as you said, long as the tuner is good and knows the ECU the result should be good either way, it might not be "the best of the best" because you dont have some feature, but if your not chasing every 1rwkw then really it probably doesnt matter if thats all your budget gives you.

The kilowatt figure doesn't phase me that much, yes I love to have decent power but I'm more interested in gaining the best drivabilty for the car.. The torque curve is what I'm more interested in as I just want the car to be a lot more puchier and responsive with maximum torque over the whole rev range. The type of driving I do is mostly on the street & I always love a blast around the twisties in the mountains.
