Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 3 stage electronic hybrid boost controller.

I no longer have the standard computer, I have a microtech lts 12.

Apparently i cant run the hybrid electronic boost controller through the microtech.

As the hybrid comes with its own solonoid i didnt think there could be a problem, but it turns out the hybrid runs off the standard computer boost signal and as a microtech has its own internal boost signal dosnt work off an external solonoid and there fore cannot be accessed.

That was basically how it was explained to me. I was told i can purchase a turbosmart eboost and it will work with a microtech.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the hybrid and the eboost and why a hybrid wont work with a microtech but an eboost will????

Has anyone had the same problem as me???

Thanks...................................liz

If anyone has a standard computer and wants to buy an electronic boost controller. The Hybrid electronic 3 stage is very easy to install and i have an R33 gts-t pinout guide.

It is brand new and has never been used. See for for sale section or PM for details.

Hi

My friend had the same problem but got around it by connecting it to his TPS but said you can also connect it to your Air Flow Meter.

Worked for him perfectly. (SR20DET)

It should advise above in the manual which came with it?

hi shrike,

What wire did he connect to TPS was it the orange one???

Also, what is TPS???

It was the boost signal i was having trouble hooking up to the microtech.

Hi Mate,

Sorry for delayed reply.

My mate said it is the orange wire but after i checked out a few sites about my car (R32) it states that you can also use the Boost Presure Sensor which is that little black box that the original Boost Gauge is connected to as this will give a correct reading.

If not you can connect it to the TPS.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
