G'day

I have purchased a Microtech LT12S for my RB25DET, however it is set up with an rb30et base tune. I have rung up Microtech and they said all I have to do to run it on the RB25det is chance the cas settings. So the question is, how do I do this? I just have to finish some wiring on the engine loom and the engine should run. I want to have the engine running on the base map and have everything 100% ready before it goes to get tuned so there are no problems once it hits the dyno.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Yeah iv already done that and changed the wiring to suit. Now i just need to change the settings in the ecu as the Rb30et only runs a single coil instead of 6 coils.

Also, how do I wire up the vct? just use the AUX output off the LT12 to trigger a relay to give power to the solanoid? Im assuming I can just ground one side of the solanoid and then give it 12v + through the other side through a relay?

cheers

I'd just bin it and buy a decent ecu. I just finished wiring a lt12s up on a 25/30 and it was the most outdated piece of shit I've ever tried to use. VCT won't be enabled as its set up for a RB30 and you can't configure the outputs yourself, which means sending it back to microtech and paying them money to change stuff which you can do with the click of a button in any other ecu. Unless you are prepared to throw good money at something that has the technology of a commodore 64 for a reconfigure, you would be better off selling it and going with something else. We even had to send my mate's back to get a thermo fan output added which is just a joke

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
