hi i just got a price for a microtek supplied and fitted and tuned for $2200 just want to know if this is worth it (r32rb20det)at pro torqe ormeau and how good are the microteks

and yes i have allready done a search and only found something from 2005 surey the results have gotta be different by now

A cheaper option would be NISTune ($400, + say $50 to solder it in) + Dyno tune ($600) + (optionally) Consult cable ($100).

http://www.nistune.com/ Check the workshop link to fine who can tune it in your area.

thanx mate but there too far away pro torqe is only likr 10 min drive from my house

$2200 is a mighty outlay for a RB20 equipped car... and with a ECU thats, well, average. Hmm.

What level of mods is it at?

What mods do you plan in the future??

If your only running a stock turbo (or even a medium upgrade) i personally couldnt justfiy spending that much and would go with a remap anyday even if it meant driving 1.5hrs.

well i have a fmic exhaust pod filter . but i was going to get a kkr430 534cc sard injectors and a new fuel pump and triy and get tuned with the standard ecu but he said it wouldnt run right and if i go bigger injectors that i will need a new computer so then i said what about just a turbo and fuel pump and he said i would be better off getting the computer done and then get that stuff later he also said the standard turbo would be fine on 14 psi rb20 turbo that is

thanx mate but there too far away pro torqe is only likr 10 min drive from my house

scrap that just read that efi is moving to yattala soon might give them a call tomorrow thanx mate

Well of course he's gonna say that.

He'll be making a tidy sum off a install like that ;)

Although, you can have a re-mapped setup so that it will work with larger injectors etc.

What other options for tuners/ECU's etc do you have near you?

Im not familiar with your area... but if thats all you have avaliable, then your probably going to be going your option above which is fair enough...

However if there is a chance you can go somewhere else and find out the pricing, then id shop around just to be sure your getting the best value for the money as net return on RB20's vs $$ spent is tough at times :P

efi performance is like a 35 minute drive away so i might give them a call about there nistune chips they do sound allright the only reason i was going to get the microtech was so when i get injectors and the turbo and stuff it would work but if efi can tune the standard computer with injectors and that i might just do that anyway thanx for all the help cos was gonna go in on the weekend order it and it in so thanx i will try and find a better way. it is hard to find someone thats not out to make lot of money off ya

i too was going to go down your path. and pay 2500 for microtech and tune for my series 2 R33

i ended up getting a Nistune remap from Toshi on these forums and seriously for $500 bucks i got exactly the same result as i would have with the microtech. just over 200kw at the wheels and all the fruits of the microtech without the $$$

How funny, one of the previous owners of mine got the combo of a Microtech and KKR.

Cold starts suck, fuel economy sucks, and for some reason I and everyone I know who has one of these computers also has a car which runs very rich.

I also have no VCT, AWD (still trying to work out how on earth I can get it happening with the piece of shite), and the car feels sluggish at around 5000rpm (changing heat range of plugs, and changing oil to Motul to see if I can alleviate some of this)

The LCD Dash is a cool wank factor though.

If it weren't a daily and I had the time and money to stuff around I'd pull out the Microtech and go Nistune/remap.

for that 2200 you could find a new fuel pump, grab some s/h bigger inj, even gtr inj? bigger turbo, stainless manifold, and a remap!!! (maybe even grab a alloy radiator from ISC)

remap $500 (nistune)

inj $400

manifold $200

s/h bigger turbs/new chinacrap $800

new pump $200

couple things for you to look at...

Yer mate we are moving to yatala in the new year, when we get our new MAINLINE dyno, dam xmas break otherwise we would be already there.

Nistune is by far a better option for your car.

$375 installed plus dyno time ontop and you get to keep all your factory sensor's, knock map and you wont get any timing jitter which microtech are very well known for.

Why don't you have VCT? What model microtech is it? My LT12S can control VCT.

thanx everyone for ya help cos i was nearly ready to take the deposit down this weekend but i have now talked to the guys at efi performance and im gonna get my car done there with the nistune when they move to yatala (efi performance) any chance you could pm me ya address when you have moved in at yatala i forgot to ask on the phone

and im not going a kkr anymore

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
