Impressive, glad to see you hitting some goals.

On a side note:

What about using a 13B harness and adding a few extra injector & ignition wires?
There are a few pnp-ecu around. If you had that chance again, would you have gone that route?

 

Congrats very nice numbers(:

 

+1 I'm going with the lt12 on mine.

 

if you're like me, you'll end up watching it like 10 times in a row.... i wonder if i can turn the audio into a ringtone...

 

thank you sir.

def not. when i was building my car i had a goal set in mind and i wasn't trying to experiment or cut corners anywhere specially when it comes down to the ECU, I've seen/heard too many nightmare stories about the ECU not working or not been compatible that i wanted something that would work and Microtech has been proven for years now so i ended up purchasing a LT-12 couple of months before the LT-16 came out and the guy ended up giving me a LT-16 for the same price .

i also looked at Motec but they were too expensive :/

 

got to get some rolling shots of that beauty.

 

i got a few but nothing impresive..

 

Congrats on the numbers! your car is just SICK!

 

I did go with those of those high end ecu's.. and after adding up the cost of the ecu and its upgrades + the cost of the milspec cabling, etc.. next round i'll use a pnp ecu (probably the aem series2) and new fd harness.

I just wouldn't look forward to re-running the same ground with a complete build of the engine loom. I did however buy a PDM to rid the car of relays and fuses.. maybe that left a sour taste regarding wiring? :-)



Can you expand on this?

I dont know that there are any ECU's out there that could honestly be considered "cutting corner" unless it was the PFC or MegaSquirt type junk.
Most of those looms / flying leads provided are cheap and considered "cutting corners". You surely couldn't run 3 1600cc ford/bosch injectors at peak duty cycle for too long on 20awg or smaller wiring for too long without it burning up given the quality of wire provided.

In terms of compatibility - what were you looking for specifically that MircoTec provides that the other companies do not?

 

I am pretty shure the main or at least one of the main reasons to go microtech is that ,most guys running 20B's have been using them (including me) so it has been proven on many occasions , plus giving that specific product a lot of "backup" or feedback if you would
I mean in my case i was like , what is everybody using ?....microtech , ok then lets get microtech , after spending a lot of money on youre engine you would want the easiest going ECU yuo can get that is guaranteed to work without fuss , and if you can save a couple of bucks why not ?
At least that was my experience with it


Also 1BAD20B ...Badass bro ....nice congrats !!!

 

I'd like to take this ECU stuff to another thread..

thank you.

 

Congrats!

Get a dyno chart posted, I am interested to see your curve vs. mine.

 

car sounds great. congrats.

 

get that dyno sheet up, want to see your A/Fs

 

Sounds like someone is going T56 and Cobra IRS 8.8

 

hehe i've been researching for the past 3 days for a tranny solution.. i shredded my 5th gear a couple of days a go and i know is going to happen again so it's looking like a T5 or T56. sucks that i got a bad *** tripple disk clutch for the FD tranny and it looks like i wont be using it :/. as for the rear end i'm going to do a os giken or kazz diff with 300m axles

 

hey i think your the only other person here that uses the msd 8232. did you use a resistor box or a diode. because im on my second IGBT. i keep burning the x4 IGBT. everything is wired ok it burned in the middle of tuning i was just cruising then the rotor2 T1&L1 gave out. not trigger =\.
