Thanks guys. The credit goes to quite a few different people, including a number on this very forum :P

knore,

The latest Microtech LT series ECU is ~$1300-1400 (rough guess here) & the LT series handset (can do programming, basic logging, real time data & 4 maps) is ~$160 I paid $145 a yr ago. The LT ECU can be tuned via laptop & is the prefered method as it allows more tuning options.

The mid range power is fantastic on the road, but it does require a bit of sensible throttle control.

Someone from Adelaide has a handset in the For Sale section ATM for $100 (used) and they are from Adelaide.

 

Happy spending :P

The one for sale is the MT 4 line handset (holds 2 maps). Mine is the 2 line LT (holds 4 maps)

The 4 line HS scrolls real data time across the screen, whereas the 2 line has a stationary display of selected real time data.

so why the microtech over pfc ?

We won't get into that argument, it gets ugly as people become very sensative to whatever ECU they have bought (I have Microtech and it works well). Better to do your own research ALL ECUs and make up your own mind.

There seems to eb this myth that the PFC is the be all and end all for R33s. They are just like most other programmable ECUs, with ALL having dissadvantages and advantes over each other.

Matt, great numbers and I also agree re Microtech, I asked Shaun to do a Valet map a while ago but in all honesty I could have done it myself, they are so easy to do and then save onto the next spare Memcal. I know because I accidentally overwrote Shaun's Valet map and had to do it again myself :Oops:

Excellent stuff Lach ! Thanks for that. Looks like we could both do with an upgraded actuator, yes? I have an Apexi one lined up (get it tomorrow) I'm hoping it's 1.0bar rated. If that doesn't fix the drop in boost then I guess the housing &/or wastegate is the problem?

It's amazing how close each of our power curves are given the big differences in set-up!

Hurry up & do the Tomei cams so I can see if I should do them too :worship:

EDIT: Oh yeah, what's the go with using PINK for my p/curve? What are ya' trying to suggest :cheers:

Knore,

I couldn't agree more with Lachlan, it really comes down to what ECU suits YOUR needs. I chose Microtech for a number of reasons. Cost, features & local support to name just a few.

Gotta alot things on my plate at present so have stalled the cam upgrade. Woudl be nice to have a look at a better exh manifold with it, so $$ start adding up.

I have 400R bar to go on next week and that is more $$ so motor stuff will wait a while.

So yeah, not sure if top end torque power drop off on mine and yours is stock exh manifold (Grepin has nice manifold), EDIT actuator spring (Grepin has HKS actuator), int wastegate design (Grepin's HKS int gate exh housing is also very nice)......good to see you're trying one. I mention Grepin's stuff due to the strong power curve right up top.

So fit and tune with Apexi actuator tomorrow?

Yeah understand re lots on plate, & $$$ adding up.

400R bar will look excellent & slightly better airflow into FMIC.

I figure that the actuator is the easiest thing to check, & the Apexi one is free so why not give it a shot. I won't know what boost its rated at till we test it though. Getting the actuator tomorrow then organise with Shaun to fit/trial. Tomorrow arvo maybe?

It may well be manifold/housing restrictions. Grepin's results seem to support this theory. Then again he has an HKS actuator! See how we go I guess.

Excellent curve plot there Freebaggin. It clearly illustrates that a rwkw figure isnt the be all end all number on which car is the fastest. IMO, the fastest car will be whatsisname's (providing he shifts ~1000rpm than the other 2 cars), even tho Greepin's car has a higher rwkw figure. Either way, all 3 cars have very nice power!

Dammit, i want a RB25DET now!!!

Here's Steve's lastest dyno run

*Note* - he has since made further changes & gained MORE power!

Noice numbers....

Matt, what turbo are you using again ? I've forgotten :)

Cheers,

Bl4ck32,

Very nice mate :) How long till the motor is ready to go?

B-man,

How much longer till we see your beast making 300++rwkw? It'd have to be ready for tuning soon wouldn't it?

My turbo is a bit of a bitsa. Garrett bush bearing T3/T4 .60 comp .64 ex. It has a big comp wheel shoved into the .60 housing & the ex wheel has been back cut. Those in the know have had a look & estimate ~450-500hp potential? Still using stock, port matched HPC coated, manifold.

Cool - nice one.

Mine had a bit of a set back - The turbo couldn't puff more than 255 rwkw - (it was a T04e comp, VG30 Exh hybrid...

Anyway yeah - HKS 3040 going on now with all associated manifolds and wastegates -

Should be ready early next week as we neeeded to get some fabrication done, flanges built, new dump pipe, etc.

Stay tuned ! :)

Some big numbers being made by the SAU SA R33 contingent, great stuff!!

We should try to get in on a private test day at AIR again, so everyone can have a few runs and get some quick timeslips to go with the dyno charts :D and do it without the pressure of a open street meet

The last one was great, and I can't wait until we get a day like that agian

Some big numbers being made by the SAU SA R33 contingent, great stuff!!
There will be a couple sleeper 300rwkw R32's 'idling' around adelaide soon also.. :D

Problem is I need a stock RB flywheel so Andrew can balance up the RB30.. Think I can find one.. No sir..

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
