Fair enough

PM me if you want, keen to know. Not saying they are dodgy, just would be nice to know in case I ever want to take my car there

Shaun knows his Microtech's, I'm sure he will get it how you want it. Freebaggin has had his Microtech for about 3-4 years now, had great success with it, with stock turbo/injector setup to now with big injectors/turbo etc. 300+rwkw out of a stock RB25, Shaun must be doing something right!

Might pay to go and have a chat with him and get his opinion, he has all the laptop stuff there for Microtech. Even pay for a quick dyno/afr run and see where your car is at, might be ok

HRthirtyone,

Head down to Boostworx, tell him its running lean blah blah, chances are he will charge you stuff all... If it takes 1hr then he will charge you 1hr dyno time. So it might end up costing $100 or so.

Dont be upset if the boostworx dyno reads a tad lower, it has a tendency to do so.:P

BUT for a simple power run you can't go past blackwood auto and dyno.. $35 is stuff all.

Edited by Cubes

yea i rekon im easy to convince... ill drive past one day after work & have a chat.

I may have over reacted a tad because it would cost over 2grand just to change the setup to power Fc, and i dont exactly drive it every day anyway...

Chris32-it says in ur sig that u were @ boostworx dyno day, i was on my way down there to check it out about a month ago, when i broke my bloody clutch bracket in 5 lanes of traffic!!!!! had 3 nosey/helpful cops pull over, and about 5 pass me in the 45min i was waiting for a tow...... i was sweatin up about getting defectd but it didnt happen! you wouldnt read about it!! but yer 191.4kw there is like 215kw @ tilbrooks

Yeah, it mine makes ok power for the turbo it has. I'd like to run at tilbrooks just to see what it is on there. I'd always like more, but meh, got other things to spend my money on ATM!

If you can, drop by and see Shaun, he's a top bloke and a decent tuner too. One thing that is for sure, the ECU is only as good as the tuner, and Shaun is good. Since its not a daily driver I'd keep the Microtech, and get the tune sorted. You already have a decent ECU, why bother swapping!

If it is running that lean, I'd take it pretty easy, you can't tell if its knocking with the Microtech, so its up to your ears to hear it

Whatisname also runs a Microtech tuned by Shaun, makes around 300rwkw also

    • So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up  
    • Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
    • R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.
    • Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
    • Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.
