I think tonight I start on the project :)

*edit* weird.. I posted them as pics.. but they don't seem to be showing up as pics but links.. atleast on my end oh well.. links i guess :)

Did you get it through the GB?

I dont think he did, cause ours are coming from Jon, not Dale. Looks nice though, cant wait for mine.

Execlent!

glad to help dude,

That freight is pretty good for the price, 5 days to you!! not too bad, i wasnt expecting it to get to you till tuesday! beats the UPS $250 it would have only saved a day for 4x the price!

dont forget if there is any problems or you have some questions you can email me or ICQ 71622239 they are both on while im at work!!

Also just a little riminder to follow the wiring diagram exactly or you will have problems!

dale

WOW that thing is small!

What else would you expect from Microtech? :D

Well, have you checked the size of the latest OS from Microsoft? :p:

Brandon

Theres always a Jokester.

Dale, Jon, could either of you guys relate the size of the LT-8 to the Haltech E6K? It look about the same size to me, but I dont know how big the Handset it.

just wondering if im going to have to modify my ECU bracket again.

I was surprised it was here to :)

I started installing it tonight. I have most of the wires layed out and just need to solder up the TPS, injectors, ignition coils, and intake temp sensor and the microtech will be all set in. I'm doing alot of cleaning up of the engine bay so I'm taking my time hopefully tomarrow i'll have it going.

How many wires are in the harness. Someone mentioned to me there were only 18.

Actually I just looked at your picture. Theres 13 pins across the top, and I figure the harnesses are atleast 2 pins tall, making for 26 wires.

4 for the CAS (seperate pin shielded wire)
8 - injectors
3 - TPS
1 - o2 sensor
2 - water sensor
2 - air temp
4 - ignition stuff i think
2 fuel pump
2 power/ground

maybe a couple more i can't htink of off the top of my head.. :) it's not bad though i can take a pic of my to this state and post them.

The e6k is a little longer and higher, bout the same width,
the microtech will fit in you factory ecu spot with out any problems at all.

That is correct depending on the ecu that you have, i fitted a LT8 to a clubman on the weekend and it only had 21 wires (1 ignation output and 3 CAS instead of 4) so it all depends on what the ecu is configured for.

Glad it got there all safe and sound, let us know how the install goes for all the other people who are woundering, it takes me about 3 hours to wire a 4cyl setup from start to finish,


Dale

Is that removing the pins from the factory plugs and putting the microtech ones in their place?

Thats pulling out the factory ecu and wiring and fitting the microtech loom and fitting new new plugs etc or splicing the wires in at the plugs,

Dale

yea i looked for a tool to repin but the electronic stores were no help they told me that their were so many diffrent size pins I wasn't going to dick with it

so basically i'm soldering and heat shrinking all connections. plus double checking all my connections to make sure I don't f up :) The wiring diagram that comes with the microtech is simple. the wiring is so well labeled no one with some brains should have no problems.

My only problem i'm encountering is the fact i'm converting to bare block and i need bolts to fill my old omp slots and well it's sunday so I didn't get to a hardware store for them.

Dale - quick question.. since the wiper motor is tied in with the wiring harness.. am i going to have to rewire directly for that?

Snap on make the tool to remove the pins, i have one that has 6 points on it, the best $50 i have spent!!

Yes you will have to re wire the wiper motor, shouldnt be too hard, you could untape the factory loom and pull the wires for it out, or run new wires.

this is what i fitted a LT8 to on the weekend

this is my LT8 on my ski boat,

Dale

Is that a Moomba? Think that is the australian ski boat manufacturer.. been a while since I wanted a good ski boat.. once I'm through school I'll think about getting one again :)

Its a Lewis hull 16ft long, with a 327 chev in it, judging by the injectors that i had to use im guessing it makes about 330hp which isnt too bad for a stocker with a mild cam,

Dale

I got a small tool set from snap on too. Different from dale's all-in-one tool, does the same thing. I can look up some part numbers if anyone is interested.

Tony,

do you still have the links that you sent me a while ago??

What do you do with the plugs that go from the dash harness to engine harness?

Not offhand. Ill dig em up in a little bit after im out of school.

EDIT:

Tried to post the links, but they messed up.

Go to this site:

It's allliveee.. well the microtech comes online thanks to Dale!! now to finish putting my car together.. unfortunatley I can't start it.. 2am .. parentals and neighbors will come out and shoot me for starting a chainsaw so late at night :) and I have a bunch of pics that i've sorta taken as I went along that i'll post up when i gank them off the camera tomarrow.
