I am looking at BuyingLT-12 Microtech But want info if anyone has had problems with the unit.......... like fitting or programing! I really don't know much about ecu's but I have done most of the bolt on mods and I now want to tie them in all together and get rid of the flat spot in my boost curve.

Can you use the boost controller with the LT-12 Microtech. I am running a HKS Boost controller (older type ).

Question, Question .........need answers:D

Hi dude, Ive just had one installed. Sweet. No probs at all. I was quite concerned myself, as i heard some bad stuff about micro tech. This has proven to be a bunch of bad hear say. I nearly went a power FC over the micro tech, but with the results i got and the money i saved, im glad i didnt!

What turned my opinions around completely, was when whatsisname took me for a spin in his LT-12 equipped r33.

You can use the micro tech boost controller that comes with the computer -its electric, and uses the factory solenoid. -or you can use your own one. Whatsisname uses an HKS EVC with his LT-12.

I also had the flat spot you mention, actually due to the airflow meter and the stock computer, which is now gone. It now pulls clean and strong to the new 7500rpm redline. (the ECU also removes all your cuts -speed, revs, boost etc...)

Conservatively tuned for reliability stakes (no chance of pinging) it now makes 200kw at the wheels on 12psi, and the usual mods (turbo back exh, filter, NB changed the fuel pump to an 044 bosch)

Tuning and fitting were straight forward also.

cheers.

I should mention that the guys who fitted and tuned mine, at RPM perf. centre, are experienced with micro tech, which is probably why they got it right first time. I cant vouch for ease of tuning if done by a less experienced tuner, but ive heard they are pretty good. Hope this helps!

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
