Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 3 stage electronic hybrid boost controller.

I no longer have the standard computer, I have a microtech lts 12.

Apparently i cant run the hybrid electronic boost controller through the microtech.

As the hybrid comes with its own solonoid i didnt think there could be a problem, but it turns out the hybrid runs off the standard computer boost signal and as a microtech has its own internal boost signal dosnt work off an external solonoid and there fore cannot be accessed.

That was basically how it was explained to me. I was told i can purchase a turbosmart eboost and it will work with a microtech.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the hybrid and the eboost and why a hybrid wont work with a microtech but an eboost will????

Has anyone had the same problem as me???

Thanks...................................liz

If anyone has a standard computer and wants to buy an electronic boost controller. The Hybrid electronic 3 stage is very easy to install and i have an R33 gts-t pinout guide.

It is brand new and has never been used. See for for sale section or PM for details.

Hi

My friend had the same problem but got around it by connecting it to his TPS but said you can also connect it to your Air Flow Meter.

Worked for him perfectly. (SR20DET)

It should advise above in the manual which came with it?

hi shrike,

What wire did he connect to TPS was it the orange one???

Also, what is TPS???

It was the boost signal i was having trouble hooking up to the microtech.

Hi Mate,

Sorry for delayed reply.

My mate said it is the orange wire but after i checked out a few sites about my car (R32) it states that you can also use the Boost Presure Sensor which is that little black box that the original Boost Gauge is connected to as this will give a correct reading.

If not you can connect it to the TPS.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
