Im also wondering is there something about them that will hold us back?

My new car has a microtech in it already and Im somewhat CBF to replace it..

If there was a major advantage I would do it.. Anyone care to sway me?

I just spoke to DVS JEZ quickly by sms, the basic outcome was to leave it and be happy.

Stuff like the link etc has more features but not really necessary stuff to get a good tune out of it.

In my case its an SR with VCT, I will put a window switch into it shortly and it will do everything I need it to..

my ltx12s is great,, for what i need it to do anyways?... and ppl make claims of bad cold starts, but mine starts up and idles fine when cold..

yeah my cold starts are fine aswell when cold will idle at around 1200 until warm enough then will idle at 950 i have no problem with cold starts etc

That's probably because the STD ecu is still there controlling the idle. They aren't the greatest of ecu's pretty sure they still batch fire even thought the should be able to run sequential inj/ign with ltx12.

Same with my 200, runs fine.. No stock ecu in place.

Just lazy on power, but I cant really blame the microtech haha.

Its actually as economic as factory too.. Eh we have our answers, nothing wrong with em for a basic setup.

i dont have standard ecu at all its just microtech liek i said its a rb25det in a vl commo so im runnign full aftermarket wiring loom no afm full map sensor and my cold starts etc are perfectly fine

Well sounds like they've pulled their finger out and worked out how to drive the extremely complicated IAC valve.

Can any of you comment on the sequential injection?

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
