hey guys, just about time to purchase my new ecu for my rb25. have been looking into the haltech and the microtech. price is a fair bit different between the two. everytime i speak to someone they have a totally different opinion on whats better for my use. it will be a daily driver, fully rebuilt motor retaining aac and cold start. who here has had personal experience with any of the two and can give their opinions on what they think is the better option. thanks alot, adam.

This thread needs to be locked after this reply. as it is all you need to know.

The haltech is soo much better then the microtech, will be 100% nicer to drive and you will be able to get better economy.

The microtech is great for full power race cars but if your going to be driving it on the street go the haltech.

Yes i am aware that there are some tuners who can make microtechs go like a shower of shit. but this is not about that. if you have no money get a greddy emanage ultimate.

hey mate,

i went from an HKS ecu to the Haltec E11V2, it was necessary for me to change over due to the power i was producing, ive had it for about 12 months now with no probs. I use the car as a daily driver but also give it a work out on the w/e. I havent had any dealings with microtech to compare against though.

Yeh i'm running the Haltech, i went haltech as alot of tuners can tune them and it will support any mod you wanna do...

it runs nice, very powerful, a few little things i still have to get fixed up (but thats because of my setup and tuner...)

Still can drive it like a factory car :D there is a new ecu out called the Vipec There is a lot of discussion about it on this forum i think it'd be worth a go...

The only reason i didn't use it was it wasn't released when i got mine...

Here's a link

Choose your workshop and then choose your computer if you ask me. Your tune is only as good as your tuner! Haltechs are significantly dearer than the microtech last time i checked. Depends which features you need i guess.

Get a ViPEC...better and cheaper.

Legitimate question, why is it better than a link? if i knew the differrences then maybe it is worth forwarding it on to customers... i have used the VI-PEC and it is sweet but it was so much harder to organise than a PLUG IN LINK... also the VIPEC has NO margin and has to be bought from your competitors..... VERY POOR DISTRIBUTION. If they want to be serious they need to step up and be proffessional... PRODUCT A1, rest is a joke (IF your in Melbourne anyway as distributor doesnt even hold stock, i wanna hold a few to use and tune and i cant.... :) ).

hopefully they sort this out as it is very capable unit.

BTW LINK $1269, Vi-PEC $1699

They are not turning into Haltech...i.e. you sell 2 ecu's and your a distributor.

You sell and advertise a product that is in direct competition with this ECU.

Distrubutors are chosen due to their loyalty to the parent company (formally the supplier of Autronic plug-in's) , knowledge and experience. If you are unhappy with this arrangement i suggest you e-mail Ray and voice your opinion to him...not rant on here. I also suggest you have a discussion with him regarding the product as its far more than a rebadged Link as you may be incorrectly suggesting.

Just because this arrangement leaves you out of the loop does not mean the product is inferior or its distribution practices poor. We can get plenty of units and our customers are extremely happy with the turn-around from ordering to installation and tuning.

You seem a good fella Trent who knows his stuff so i think the suggestions ive made above may be worth following up. You can make a dollar out of this product but it may be in other areas i.e tuning and after-sales service. If the Melbourne distributor is for some reason unable to supply you units for whatever reason you can order them quite easily though us.

This is something i am happy to do and i will talk in the future, i was keen as (due mainly to your endorsement of it) to implement the full range and keep stock (EVO SUBARU, SR and RB) and include it in a advertising campaign worth nearly 14k but then to find that the distributor i had to buy from in Melbourne is not supporting the program (does not even hold stock) why should i bust my balls to promote a product that seems not to want any Melbourne sales growth.... My background is product procurement and market strategy etc so i understand the concepts of price protection and market positioning... i just feel burnt by the whole thing.

As i said i love the Vi-Pec just not its distribution and pricing (paid more for it than what i do locally for a PFC D-Jetro which is just as capable ECU and i can get it faster... which shouldnt be the case.)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
