Anyone had problems with LT-12 Microtech ECU

[nizmokid]

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!

you have been a great help thanks, did the unit come with the softwear for the laptop? or is that extra!
