I drove a skyline today that had 220 RWKW and microtec L12 ( i think). But when it was cold it would constantly stall if you did not rev it. I was told it was because the aftermarket plenum was a lot bigger.

Can the automatic choke be altered within the microtec to solve this problem? Or is there another way to fix this problem?

Thanks

microtecs are reknowned for having a poor cold start

just gonna have to cope with it , a little bit of fiddling and u will get it better though.

i have numerous mates with microtecs in their vl's , all of which suck on cold starts , i have an autronic and its wonderfull.

bare with it though

MATEY you aint alone, we have a microtech in a gtr and it wont cold start either!!!! we have had our microtech lt12 altered and the idle control wired in and two performance workshops still cant get the thing to idle cold!!!!!!!1

so if you work it out let me know brother!!!!

lol

they are supposed to be the ducks nuts so i hope that everything goes well for ya.

it also depends on who sets up the computer , how much fuel is goin in on cold etc

anyway good luck mate

hehe yeah ive got someone pretty reliable to set it up n tune it - for free :(

then hes gonna show me how to tune it so i dont have to go bak to him to retune it or make a ton of maps

the microtech was pretty cheap too :D - trade prices $$

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
