Are you sure man? I asked someone and they rekon I will have to send it back to microtech and they have to change it to suit a sr20 and that will cost me $380.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

dude y would you have to do that as it is programble with a lap top thats bull shiyt

you can leave the laptop in the car all the time and tune it whenever ??

[PEAKIN]

Asked my tuner. Your lt8 will only suit skylines.

It's the same as saying a stock sr20 ecu with control an rb20. It won't work.

This ECU will only suit skylines with the same motor as teazn_r33.

[teazn_r33]

well my mate just brought one from a fella with a ford and is now using it with a vl turbo with no problems you rmight wanna get you facts straight

can u tell me y it will only suit skylines as i have had 2 professional tuners say other wise

i think you need to see a diffrent tuner if he is saying that

[PEAKIN]

I'll ring mircotech and find out 100% and i'll let you know, im hoping it works so then I can use it lol.

Why are you selling it btw, and can you get me a model number by any chance?

[teazn_r33]

its a LT8 it will fit it says it in the instructions infornt of me im selling it as i need a huge clutch before i get it going so thats first

Thank you for your question regarding the Microtech LT8 ECU.

Unfortunately if you are wanting to put an ecu made for an RB engine and put it on an SR you will be required to send the ecu back to Microtech. Our first thoughts were to just try and get Microtech to load a new base map, which is only an $80 cost, but after talking to them for one of our previous clients who had used a microtech on a 4G93 and was changing to EJ20, after talking to microtech we learnt that their ECU's are hardware specifiic units, and when you order an ecu from them it is for that specific engine only. The main reason on why it is not possible is due to different crank angle sensor wiring setups on the various motors.

You can send the unit back to Microtech at a cost where they change parts of the chipset, and alter diodes and resistors so it works on the new engine it will be going in, they also send a new loom with it as well as wires out from the ecu will also differ now.

Many tuners like us get caught out by this if they have not had to do this previously, as I said our first assumption was to just load a new base map until we found out it is a hardware specific ecu.

It is possible to run that ecu on various versions of that similar motor.

For example, the lancer tune ecu we had was able to work on 4G63,4G93,4G92.... etc etc as they all share similar characteristics such as crank angle.

Since you are talking about the RB, I would presume that the ecu will work on RB20,RB25,RB26 and maybe RB30.

That is the problem with hardware altered ecus compared to software altered such as Motec and Autronic, yes the ecu is laptop tunable, but only once the base map has been loaded for that car and the internals changed.

I would give Microtech a call if I was you to confirm this however.

Please dont bother to ring Microtech until after 2pm and before 5pm as they have limited phone answering hours, Id expect the cost of converting to different engine to still cost around $380, my feelings are to just sell the ecu to a similar engined car if possible, as a new ecu is only double the cost of converting it.

Thanks.

Email response from my tuner. Rang Microtech and they confirmed what he said. So maybe you should get your facts straight.

Good Luck with the sale.

got price form my tuner from microtech which is around 150 plus freight which will bout 170 to be reset for any car

[ABuSD]

I can second what teazn is saying cos ive been told from Microtech Head Office(Tim was his name) and its $150 to change it!!!

[PEAKIN]

Ok, I was just passing on information I was told. It's a cheap microtech then, someone snap it up!

[teazn_r33]

anyone

[teazn_r33]

bump any offers

[teazn_r33]

ok 100 for the fuel cell make a offer for the clutch as it has to go make a offer for anything it all has to go anything

[teazn_r33]

any offers

[teazn_r33]

bump
