GTScotT Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The model number implies its drivers, normally halved. An LT12 can do 12 cylinders batch fire or 6 sequential.

luvpsi Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 microtech are not as bad as everyone says. its just harder to get working on a rb. very easy to tune but very hard to wire into a rb. alot of people use the plug and play adaptor for rb25s hard wire it in properly and its fine a bit of a hastle to wire in but once done its worth it. like i said before if the microtech was not given to me i would have gone a nistune or PFC Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373002-micro-tech/page/2/#findComment-5951725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

An LT12 can do 12 cylinders batch fire or 6 sequential. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.. I know its meant to be sequential but the last LTX12 I scoped definately wasn't sequential - that was using a 36-1 inductive trigger and factory inductive cam trigger on a 2/1JZ. Apparently microtech's cant use too higher tooth counts and which means on an RB they are most likely only using the 6-5-4-3-2-1 signal not both the 6-5-4-3-2-1 and 360 tooth signal like the factory/PFC do. Hence why there is very few ECU's that I trust to use the OEM RB CAS for stable igntion control.

GTR260 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 i've had microtech's on a few cars now, I think they serve their purpose, cheap to tune & simple, very broad in load points for tuning, best suited for drag cars and rotors. but if u don't mind turning the key a few times on cold days & warming it up for 5 mins then microtech will be just fine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373002-micro-tech/page/2/#findComment-5952258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilt-Toy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 if you don't ever plan to pass a emissions test, and you don't care about the microtech's timing drifts and you can be bothered with aftermarket aux's then go for it. its just not the right way of doing things.

Mayuri Krab Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) How well do they work as a piggy back? I've an auto & I'm looking at a possible high flow turbo in the near future (nothing major, only aiming for about 220 - 230rwkw) & I'm a bit stuck on ECU choice. Since no stand along aftermarket ECU works properly with a R33 auto (as far as I know from reading old threads), & some old suggestions was running a combo of SAFC + STIC, however the latter is nimpossiblebile to find. The other one was to run a Emanage Ultimate, but I found most tuners around my area dislike them for some reason, so no point getting it if I can't get a decent tune out of it. I talked to my tuner about the issue & he reckons a micro tech wired in piggy back would do fine with a stock high flow. Any opinions on this?

Guilt-Toy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 you will have the same problem with the piggy back. harsh on the transmission Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373002-micro-tech/page/2/#findComment-5953444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayuri Krab Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Can you explain in more detail? I thought the harsh changes where due to replacing stock ECU which backs off timing before auto changes gear with a stand-alone aftermarket one, which doesn't do that. But since you retain the stock ECU wouldn't that mean this 'back off timing function' is kept as well?
