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!

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
