Whats the economy like?

Compared the car with another to see if they run the same?

Around 350-475 depending on how i drive....

Forget your tuner, should of got a vipec... :yes:

HAHAHAHA thanks for the input but i will stick with what i got now.

which place did you get your car tuned at, your in WA right?

Nope in Darwin. Got it tuned at High Tech Tuning. Pretty much the only good tuner up here.

Some tuners actually know how to tune the Microtech to still retain normal economy. The problem is, most just tune the full tilt side of it.

Yeah he made sure i got good AF's the whole rang as i asked him to set it up as i was only getting around the 180km mark before the computer

definately change tuners!!! if no other tuners nearby i would check fuel pump fuel delivery, fuel pressure reg operation obvious stuff which he should know..............

fark my bro inlaw gets 550-600km with 230rwkw. hell i get 460km with 500rwhp got 520km/tank comin back from melbourne to sydney with a basic tuned motor i bought from Ice Performance.

what are ur afr's?

im not sure but do microtecs run an o2 sensor, my bros old rx7 never did.

even a quarter way up on the knock scale is bad. the only thing you have in youre favor is the engine doesnt make enough power to damage itself with the knock readings you have, standard ignition map totally wrong for that application. suggest check knock sensor wires, replace knock sensors, then alter the ign map to something more acceptable and fourthly change tuners!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Do you ever read a whole thread before you post a comment?

thats twice now you have put your fingers in gear before your brain which represents 20% of your posts.

off the topic but to answer youre comment, yes i do read the thread before posting. the guys asking people to comment on his tuning issues. i have offered advice as he obviously doesnt have confidence in his tuner otherwise his tuner would have found the problem.!!!! at least i offered my opinions alot more than you have done for him. give me a call if you need to discuss any further would be pleased to debate it with you 0883916125.

Amazes me when people write on a forum asking for advice from obviously experienced people and then they do totally the opposite to what they are advised :D WTF

From reading this post three things are pretty clear

1) Not many like or recommend the microtech.

2) Almost all recommend PowerFC

3) A certain tuner insists on using the Microtech

hmmmmm.........

Question - it was a month ago it was all sorted is it still running ? running well ?

Secondly I would hope your tuner has a strong business that will be around for a while ( like the life of your car ) or you may have trouble around darwin ie: getting a retune in the future....

DARWIN WEATHER + MODS + HIGHER BOOST + SUSPECT FUEL + ENTHUSIASTIC DRIVING + NO KNOCK SENSOR......= :banana:

I honestly hope nothing does go wrong..... I wouldnt wish that on anyone but I just dont understand why you would go against what almost everyone recommended.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
