Whats the economy like?

Compared the car with another to see if they run the same?

Around 350-475 depending on how i drive....

Forget your tuner, should of got a vipec... :yes:

HAHAHAHA thanks for the input but i will stick with what i got now.

which place did you get your car tuned at, your in WA right?

Nope in Darwin. Got it tuned at High Tech Tuning. Pretty much the only good tuner up here.

Some tuners actually know how to tune the Microtech to still retain normal economy. The problem is, most just tune the full tilt side of it.

Yeah he made sure i got good AF's the whole rang as i asked him to set it up as i was only getting around the 180km mark before the computer

even a quarter way up on the knock scale is bad. the only thing you have in youre favor is the engine doesnt make enough power to damage itself with the knock readings you have, standard ignition map totally wrong for that application. suggest check knock sensor wires, replace knock sensors, then alter the ign map to something more acceptable and fourthly change tuners!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Do you ever read a whole thread before you post a comment?

thats twice now you have put your fingers in gear before your brain which represents 20% of your posts.

off the topic but to answer youre comment, yes i do read the thread before posting. the guys asking people to comment on his tuning issues. i have offered advice as he obviously doesnt have confidence in his tuner otherwise his tuner would have found the problem.!!!! at least i offered my opinions alot more than you have done for him. give me a call if you need to discuss any further would be pleased to debate it with you 0883916125.

Amazes me when people write on a forum asking for advice from obviously experienced people and then they do totally the opposite to what they are advised :D WTF

From reading this post three things are pretty clear

1) Not many like or recommend the microtech.

2) Almost all recommend PowerFC

3) A certain tuner insists on using the Microtech

hmmmmm.........

Question - it was a month ago it was all sorted is it still running ? running well ?

Secondly I would hope your tuner has a strong business that will be around for a while ( like the life of your car ) or you may have trouble around darwin ie: getting a retune in the future....

DARWIN WEATHER + MODS + HIGHER BOOST + SUSPECT FUEL + ENTHUSIASTIC DRIVING + NO KNOCK SENSOR......= :banana:

I honestly hope nothing does go wrong..... I wouldnt wish that on anyone but I just dont understand why you would go against what almost everyone recommended.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
