Still no one running LT-12's yet

Make sure you do go to a good tuner though - I have heard some horror stories.

I can't speak highly enough of Paramount Performance in Toowoomba. They really did a good job.

[Trotts33]

I havnt done a lot of testing, off boost maybe a little less but it seems to be coming on boost earlier, it was running very rich before with flat spots, but now clean all the way and what a rush about 4500 to 5000 on.

[Trotts33]

How long is it safe to drive on the supplied setup, it started fine, takes a little more cranking, went ok with AC and steering at idle, yet to do a cold start, may go over to RPM for first tune, I live a long way from any tuners.

[gjb977]

I didn't think it possible to go with the supplied setup - I thought that was just to get your car started so it can be tuned ?

[Trotts33]

The standard setup is a very safe tune, but made a big difference over what I had. RPM said OK to use but to tune ASAP.

Trotts33.

Email Tim (X-RPM Owner but still is there kind of) who sorted the plug and play Microtech thing at www.horsepowerinabox.com

So you like Trotts33. No its not advisable to leave it plugged in, you have seen what it can do, just play with it everynow and then but leave the std computer pluged in for normal driving!

[Roy13]

So you have had the laptop pluged in to it?

[Trotts33]

No, the laptop only has USB ports so I got an adaptor and they still wont talk to each other, maybe try another laptop tomorrow, I wont be changing anything, just see how it looks and try to learn something.

[Roy13]

As far as i know the USB adapter also need a software program to make them take to each other!

[Roy13]

What does your nissan plug look like does it have a circuit board and black panel screwed to it?

[Roy13]

How does the idle, seem a little high?

[Trotts33]

The adaptor came with software and installed OK but the LT software tells me that Com2 port is not available, have emailed supplier of adaptor. Nissan plug, where you refering to the LT connecting loom, if so yes.

[Trotts33]

No if anything a little low. but I reckon my genuine was a little screwed, cold idle was up about 1300.

[Roy13]

i got my LT-12 direct from Microtech just wondering if RPM had made a different model for there own sale! Where did you end up mounting it

[Roy13]

Yeah cold idle on my STD computer was also anywere up to 1900rpm due to the idle solenoid! How does the engine return to idle now you may have found the std computer returned slowly buy mylt-12 returns to fast and the rpm drops to 500 or so nealy stalling then builds back up to 800.

[Roy13]

I think you will find that you engine is now running in normal mode and has only one rich fuel map. Then a wot (wide open throtle ) corection map.

[Trotts33]

At the moment on the floor (ha ha) like you said it will probably come out while waiting for tune. Thats the good thing with them, block off hose unplug air temp and put AFM plug back in and back to standard.

[Trotts33]

My idle seems to as yours. Normal mode, still OK to use or risky? Its just so much better.

[Roy13]

Were you told to remove the AFM plug or did you do that on your own acord?
