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.

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

haha thanks mate, sounds like you like the haltech! and as for having no money, yeah thats me, bloody cars killing me. ill order the haltech in a couple weeks :D

good idea. they are a great ecu.

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.)

    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
