Hey all, i recently put an rb25 in my 32, after stuffing around with the wiring i gave up and bought a microtech lt12s with handcontroller and wired it all up, the previous owner was making 350kw off the tune thats on it but had bigger inj, ect, first start it ran rough as and blew a butt load of black smoke, the overall fuel trim was set at -25, i raised it till it idled smoothly ending up at +35%, after i had it running fine i drove it home (did the work at a mates house because he had a shed) when i got home i scrolled threw the controller and saw that the Timing Lock was set to on, i remember reading the microtech site and it said DO NOT REV THE ENGINE WHILE TIMING LOCK IS ON, so now im worried have i done damage??? when i drove it home i babied it, had it set to 6psi and didnt go past 6k revs, as i defently need a tune. Also, anyone know any good microtech tuners in qld? cheers.

Timing lock should only be used to set base timing. Turn it off.

It doesnt sound right because u would be driving around with 15degrees of timing. Would be really lazy down low.

Shouldnt have done any damage.

Turn it off and get a tune

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
