Hi people

I've got an rb20 running of a microtech lt 12 and was wondering if the O2 sensor was needed to be connected.Cause at the moment it aint. the wire's cut from the microtech cause at the moment I'm gettin really shitty fuel economy and i was wondering if i put in the O2 Sensor would it make a difference?? At the moment it does backfire a fair bit.

Also my car's making 241.3 awkw but it's running a little lean up top goes to about 12.6 on 16psi, my car has got all the fueling mods like. Walbro 500hp fuel pump and GTR injectors which have not reached 100% duty cycle. i was wondering if there are any ideas why it might be running a little lean and up top. I'm going to change the fuel filter soon, could it be that??? On 14psi it's runnin like a dream with a very safe Air fuel ratio of 11.9 to 1 so any ideas to get the car to run richer up top would be good so i can wind more boost into it.

any help would be great

Cheers

anthony

Microtech does not use O2 sensor as it does not have closed loop function.

You can hook it up for display purposes only.

Unless you finely tune every load point/cell on the microtech you will have bad economy because of the lack of closed loop on this ecu.

Its the biggest downside of Microtech and why most people avoid them like the plague.

you beleived wrong mate.

User definable auxilliary input and output functions enabling such functions as traction control and self - tune.

Wide band Oxygen sensor input and 45psi map sensor standard issue.

No - Simply putting an O2 sensor on a car wont make fuel consumption better. Your ECU must have closed loop function to trim fuel up or down. And as for microtech and Auto tune function - wouldn't rely on it. Have not seen any of the cheap ECU do auto tune very well at all.

it's an ECU designed for racing, meaning to get good fuel consumption you will have to tune ALL load points, rather well too.

was speaking to a mate who has an R33 with 250rwkw and a microtech and he's getting around 250km to a tank

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
