Driveability Issues with Microtech?
 

I'm about to purchase a microtech unit. What sort of driveability issues show up and how do you go about fixing them?

A friend has an electromotive unit which required about a year's worth of back yard tuning to get it where he likes it. I know microtech gives you a base map based on your setup, but how good is it? How long should I expect to have to work on this?

Also, if using a wideband O2 and datalogging are a fundamental part of tuning (and fixing driveability issues), why would anyone purchase an LTX8 over and LTX12?

as long as the tune is good you wont have any drivability issues, you can put 1600cc primarys in and you wont have a problem, you just got my mates car running with 2x1000 and 2x1600 PRIMARY injectors 4x1600cc secondarys and 2x1600cc aux injectors running off a LTx12s and it idles perfecly and drives like a treat

for wide band data logging you need a LT10s or LT12s,

Can you gointo moredetail on the lt10s wideband datalogging? I wasnt aware that it did that.

Will it datalog the signal from my plx m500?

the logging is the same as a lt12

not sure if it will work or not, no one here has any of those, we all use the microtech ones

i just bought a lt-10,i havent isntalled it fully yet.im running 4 1600cc injectors. will the car start and idle with those since it was factory set for the stock injectors?

you would have to trim the inj ms pretty good if you want to idle with 1600
the microtech factory setting run a little rich with 550 on primaries

by the way my car is the same as yours and its also the same color , what engine ,turbo combo do you have and what hp are you running?

car will idle fine with 1600's we have a mates car running 2x1600's and 2x1000's as PRIMARYS and it idles perfectly

The engine came from a 87 TII, im using the stock turbo for now.HP i dont know yet,im not done with the car,it should be ready next week.Waiting on the mail to bring me the rest of the stuff i ordered.

does the microtech lt10 come with it's own wideband or am i just missing it on the website?

no it dosent,

you can hook the microtech wide band controller up to it for logging and displaying AFR on handset or laptop, this is a $600au option which includes the LSU4 sensor, wiring looms, LSU controller box etc, but no display, the display can be purchased at a later date and plugged in

nevermind, found my answer.

550's and 1600's no stumbles in any range of throttle. Just have to lean out or richen the maps on the street. G
