lol.... Now come on Guilt toy....... Dont be too harsh.......

I see it as, If all you want to do is control coils and injectors, then they are not to bad at that.

But as soon as you want to do ANYTHING else.... umm sorry, Like have a timing table that is more than a single line over load/rpm, or a fuel correction that isnt temp related, or control boost......... over wheel speed..... and airtemp..... and tps, Individual cylinder correction, wideband 02 feedback, stepper motor control, telemetry, lambda warnings, oil pressure/ temp warnings, automatic transmission control, oil cooler fan control, PWM nos control......... Wiper speed over wheel speed...... and yes it has been asked for.

I love on ones that say....... O no I cant afford a $2000 ecu so I bought an LTX12, O and here is my $800 boost controller.

Such a shame.

Sorry, im getting lost in my own dribble here........But back on topic. Download the book from the microtech site and read it. Then read it again and it will probably still make no sense.

Have a play with the tune on you ECU for a while, work out what does what....... Then read the book again....... twice......

Set your fueling so your EGT's aren't too high, don't let your engine ping and road tune until your fingers are sore.

When the tune is done and you are happy with your results, put your feet up, grab a well earned frosty one and read a good book.......The Microtech one.

Microtechs are not that bad if you font want all the above features I run one with mo problems at all I have launch control( 2 step) air temp ignition timing and fuel which is all I really need for street if I was doing track work I'd prob use something different

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
