Ok, think its about time i had the tune on my setup refreshed. currently running a Microtech LT12S with an established tune on it. to run a standard S1 RB25DET, T04E int gate turbo @ 16PSI, front facing plenum, FMIC, walbro pump etc etc...fairly modest setup. had it in the dyno recently, pulled 217kw which is pretty respectable. now im not necessarily after more power as such because im quite happy with the go it has. but more after a cleaner A/F mix and a few other little bits and pieces to make it a little less fuel hungry and a bit smoother at WOT.

main issue im having atm is at WOT it seems to be fueling up so much that its missing, which gets quite annoying after a while. yes im running aftermarket coils (splitfires) with the correctly gapped plugs (0.7?)that are only a few thousand k's old. only use BP Ultimate (98RON). is apparent when i service it that it is fueling up a lot. apart from that thats it, fuel consumption is not great but its not bad either (easily managing 500ks of highway driving with a bit of overtaking :O ). cold starts are fine, idle is a bit high (1450RPM) which id like to get put down to 950/1050RPM (which im sure is just a matter of fishing through the hand controller/software but havnt been game to try it without someone who knows what theyre doing)

im located in warrnambool which is about 3 hours drive west of melbourne, but willing to make a weekend trip up for it, wherever it may be. just after advice on any places that are reputable for tuning these particular ECUs.

advice much appreciated :)

book it in to a reputable shop, the microtech is a simple tool but it can work just fine in a setup like yours. many guys dont take advantage of some of the tuning capabilities as they are a little unorthodox.

Hi,

I would recommend Dalton Automotive, he is located in Geelong and is a Microtech specialist, I have a Microtech in my r33 and the tune on it is great. Ask for Chris, he is the owner and will be more then happy to talk to you. If you want more info you can check out his web site too. http://www.daltonautomotive.com/

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
