Link G4 Storm Vs Microtech Lt12s

[Swiper the Fox]

to the OP, how many tuner options do you have? and are there some really well known ones that you're willing to travel a bit to get to that might be able to offer a lot more ECU options for you?

If he's in the North Island he could do himself a favor and see Andre at Speedtech in Lower Hutt...gun tuner and top fella.

Link G4 Storm then...simple. Dont like the thread discussion then stay out of the thread...easy.

Ash that car is more than a simple silver box...is it not ? Poor example...but nice shovel work.

Still runs a PFC either way.

I thought it a rather good example. Just like DCIEVE/N1-GTR's, and so on. Oh but ye - they weren't a Link sorry... Vipec.

At the end of the day the Vipec isnt the be all and end all - It is nothing more than another ECU that has more features than anyone really needs for 99% of the applications out there.

What it does though however (and this is a very very important feature) - it keeps the fanboy's happy. Thats all that matters to some people.

End of the day - you choose the ECU that the tuner is most happy with and that is all that matters as stated a number of times now.

What the fu(k does all that babble have to do with the topic...remember its Storm vs Microguess...you mods are good at pushing your own cart also...Ash how many times do you come in threads as a disiple of Ben's pushing his cart. Without him you'd just be a dumbass with a crappy road car.

Im one of the only ones on here using a Link G4 Storm...and being a 1000hp GTR that also now makes a nice road car i think im more than qualified to give some input and assistance to the fella. Ive also installed one of these ecu into one of the fastest Sport Compact cars on the planet (its the current world record holder) the thing makes over 1800hp runs 18 1600cc injectors and purrs like a kitten.

Again its gets a little tiresome hearing people talk about things they have no knowledge of or experience in.

go away blowfly.

Unless its your experience - its not valid - that's what it has to do with it.

There are plenty of others out there that have experience but you totally disregard their input in just about every thread you can.

We are upto what - 3 experiences so far but only one counts apparently - yours.

Get your head outta your a$$ and show other users some respect

Steve-o's point was valid...has your ability to read and comprehend also disappeared? I even acknowledged it...as it was about the topic. The same with dcieve about the Autronic...i said it may have actually been that the ecu was faulty. I give credit where credit is due and listen to all points of view...but when its baseless ridicule of a product that you wouldn't know one end of the other from Ash your outta line.

Youv'e come in here only to have a shot at me...sorry mate but ive got to do this....SWAT!

Thats like comparing the taste of chocolate and dogshit.

Who's ridiculing what exactly?

The 100 page vipec thread details all the lovely wonderful lists of features of the ECU and they are impressive.

My comment about the features stands however, you'll be hard pressed to find many people that need a thesis of features for most setups.

are you saying ive had no experience with Microtech? i used to own one...in all things an R31...then Dave had to put up with one in his R33...one of my good mates who's car i tune...or used to tune... as Mark Jacobsen has taken over now he has upgraded from the Jap computer in a silver box...to something a bit like a Link.

Ben and i had a nice chat about the Link ecu and he was impressed...his words were "once its fully developed with full plug and play with afm capabilities it will be a great product." So why are you such a hater? or is it just the sheep mentality?

Microtech's are a great ecu for a given application...just ask the Puerto Rican drag racers. His application is not a WOT rotary powered drag car... its an in-line 6 road car. Just ask Shane Crichton who owns the fastest Cressida on the planet...the Microtech cost him an engine.

if ur close to rotarura try the guys @ rips

[afunk]

if ur close to rotarura try the guys @ rips

yea well northshore auckland so not really haha .they probly just laugh at anything you brought in that wasnt super flash

[SS8_Gohan]

if they truly are good tuners, in all respects, they wouldn't do that. No need to be elitist.

[afunk]

yea they probly would be helpful. To bad everything would cost an arm and a leg

have you actually asked?

RIPS dont actually tune their own cars, Infomotive in Rotorua does it last time i checked. They do the build and setup, and by all means do it well, but they dont tune.

SpeedSource in Warkworrth have a great reputation, but ive used both Infomotive and Torque Performance before, and speaking from first hand experience would say go and see Robin @ Torque Performance in Avondale. Dave @ D Tech in Tauranga also has a great reputation and tunes all around the country.

Im running a G3 link (quite similar to a g4) and think its great so definitley go for that. There are few tuners in NZ who will reccomend a Microtech so i dont know where you got that idea.

Hi mate, feel free to ask any questions re tuners. Have had a few cars done over the years

There is a place in manukau called protune. got my rb30 with linkplus tuned there for a good price and im pretty happy with what they did. A few friends have been there and have all been happy with price and what they got. Very friendly and helpful. You could go and see them and have a chat and they would at least give you some free advice about your setup and anything that might need to be done before a tune to save you some hours on a dyno doing repairs

Also, you could look up bob homewood. he has a workshop in drury. he has tuned a few mates cars. he tunes a lot of track cars with good results. A few years ago his prices were reasonable, dont know anybody that has been there since

Or you could try carl ruiterman (Spelling??) the drift guy, he did a mates rb30 with a G3 link and it runs great. i think he is in pukekohe

[afunk]

Yea thanks. nothing better that free advice. Hopfuly going to buy my link g4 this weekend! but have to buy a few more parts for my 30!
