Re the wolf and microtech software. The microtech software is so much easier to use than the wolf. I have only just started tuning the MT but it is already a heap easier.
I use matrix mode for fuel rather than normal as that is what I am used to.
All the screens have it laid out in a graph as well so it is easy as to see if one point is out. Setting the timing is easy as it is a base map to rpm and then adjustment point for vacuum and boost. This means that you don’t actually have to know at what rpm you are making what boost as if you want to advance timing at full boost of say 16psi then you just go to that point and change it from -20 to -18 e.g.
In the wolf software, you would have to give it a run, follow the highlighted box to see what load map you are in (as the load map is just random numbers from 0-107 you can convert it back to psi which I did) and then work out at what rpm it makes the 16psi and then change all the boxes from say 4500rpm to 7500rpm at the 16psi load point. I think you can see how much more time this takes compared to the MT software.
I do admit that the wolf does have better tuning resolution down to 125rpm all the way to redline but I didn’t use this very much. I used the 125rpm for idle and 250rpm close to redline but it wasn’t that necessary.
MT was piece of piss to install and get started compared to the wolf as well. Started first go. With the wolf when it was just doing fuel it would take a few cranks to start and would need a few pumps of the throttle even with tuning of the cranking fuel by George. It didn’t interface well with the Toyota sensors I think.
Overall, I am very happy with my MT ecu so far. Shits all over the wolf in terms of simplicity and functionality.
Power FC is probably easier again as it is plug and play for you guys. Haltech’s are supposed to be pretty good also but you will have the same issues of setting it up whereas a MT comes with the setup configured so it is just wiring and start her up
Haha, 415 words there. Bit of an essay
