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.

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
