Costs for a Computer and installation

[Bill]

Hi all,

Just wondering what the going rate is for a

Microtech Computer

Installation

Dyno time for setup/tuning

Hey man,

you are probably looking around $1600.00 - $1800.00 complete - fitting, Dyno - ready to drive away

Hey, does this include the price for purchasing the product.

If so you are looking at $2000 for the plug in microtech for the R33. I have one of these and it works great. If you need some advise om me. I could also rfer you to the guys that did mine. (if your in melb).

The LT-12 microtech is also cheaper but not the plug in version.

Cheers.

I'd go for a Power FC, same cost, better result.

syndey kid, how hard are autronics to install and tune. The self learning package that is?

They are roughly the same price as a new power fc.

And you chuck away the airflow metre, which is always a good thing! Save up to $300 for the z32 one that you dont need.

have you had any experience with the autronic self learning packages on the rb25dets. Good results? Have had a rough price of around $2500 installed and tuned.

cheers

Hi bolf, crikey if you can get an Autronic SM2, even without self learning, for $1,200 I'll take 10. That's how much the last PFC cost.

Sorry bolf, that post didn't answer your question.

Bin a while since I used an Autronic, on the BMW SuperTourer. The Motec self learn is more recent use for me and they are similar in execution. Self learning is great if you have a fast and wide lambda sensor, but they cost $2K on their own. Trying to tune using a narrow and slow lambda sensor ($300) is a waste of time. The self learn software was about $800'ish if I remember rightly, the whole M8 Pro package was around $5K, so that sounds right.

I recommend a lot of Motec self learn systems for guys with no easy access to dynos, expensive but works brilliantly. We tuned a car in 2 laps at Bathurst a couple of years ago, just drove it around. Took it back to the dyno I could barely squeeze a few horsepower out of it despite a couple of hours of trying. Damn accurate, better than many tuners I have seen.

Hope that helps

i wouldnt recommend self tuning an autronic...way too involved...

but awesome ecu...well worth the dollars if you can spare that much.

[dabigbolf]

my mistake around $1700 + install/tune. which was roughly $700.

Is it true that the autronic and the nissan coils, can be a bit of a hassel? It may be an involved ecu, but that can be a good thing, giving more options, functions, and settings to control. In the right hands i think it could work well.

just need to know how compatable they are to a rb25det motor...
