Because the Microtech has an internal map sensor. The FC uses the factory MAF meters. Why on earth would you get a PowerFC when you have a Microtech already?

To use the FC you will need to install the AFM's

hahaha.... cause microtech is pretty shit.. i have the z32 metre in there..... so where does that vacuum line go to?? its connected from the plenum... sooo should it go on to the back of the ext. wastgate port ?? for the second vacuum line??

Not even two weeks ago you were dribbling to me how a Microtech is for performance and so on in your OWN Wolf 3D thread.

(quotes for those who dont have time to read it all)

Well anyone can get a car to run well on WOT dude - and that is probably the LEAST valid point of a aftermarket ECU really... being they ALL do WOT throttle well, even a monkey could tune a car to do that well.

Its the other stuff in the middle, idle, cold start, part throttle, cell resolution, economy and so on that the microtech simply fails at doing with any decent effort... add in someone that might only touch one every few weeks and you'd be better off with a stock ECU.

better off with a stock ECU....ahhhh noooo....not at all...although microtech is best for rotors.. out of interest what ECU do you run..... i have run stock and microtech....and microtech for performance..which is what imo is the point....

ah well each to their own....

Low and behold you are now putting in a PFC and calling a Microtech "pretty shit".

You are a muppet.

whats more concerning is why do you have an ap engineering powerfc ?

there is no ap engineering powerfc to suit ECR33 GTST Skyline

i suspect youve brought an RB20DET PowerFC?

nah man sorry.. i got that part wrong.. lol... sorry mate.... btw that FAQ is possibly the best thing about this site ey...cheers mate...

Yeah, riiight.

So has anyone got any actual knowledge on the microtech or are we all just shootin shit in the breeze?

I think you said it in your quote Ash, 'add in someone that might only touch one every few weeks and you'd be better off with a stock ECU' and that runs true for any ECU. Microtech are just as capable as any other unit. They don't have as many outputs as some of the other units but as far as fuel and timing control goes...well capable.

And yes...the microtech was originally designed for use with rotary engines but that was in the early days. They do the same as any other basic unit and suit any application.

okokok.... plz.... where does that vacuum line go??.... does it plug onto the ext gate at the back... so there is 2 vac lines from the ext gate??..onw from boost controller and one from the plenum??

WTF? Why are we talking about external wastegates now? You asked about the vacuum line to your old ECU....run it wherever you want. Block it off if you want. If you need a vacuum source for the external gate then use it for that.

Why talk about the ECU if you really want to know about your gate?

Ye i know hehe - i should have quoted the first post where he says WOT and outright power is all that he's worried about, and in the same line he talks about Wolf equipped cars throwing pistsons... which again is more rubbish and dribble :D

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
