microtech and CDI box
im thinking of installing a microtech, but was curious if it also has CDI box capabilities (as in a crane cams hi-6)?
if so, then i wont have to buy a crane cams for the hotter spark.... |
Good question. Also how about the halteck E6K???
|
No.
|
...and just In case you ask - I'm running my LT8 with my Crane Cams HI-6 w/o a hitch.

thanks silverrotor and aaron (my fellow canadians)......im really trying to see if its really worth me getting a microtech for my mildly modded N/A.
i dont want to be the most powerful out there,but id like it to run as good as it possibly can while extracting as much power as i can safely. its alos a car i plan to be an heirloom for my kids, so id like it to have the latest electronics. any insight aaron, silver? |
Standalone is nice and gets rid of the afm but you really see a difference in tuning when you have at least some form of FI or a street port. I am sure you can make some extra power on a mildly modded n/a but you wont see any huge differences. If you have intake, exhaust, a cdi box and a standalone only I would say you may see an extra 30 hp max though tuning with the timing and fuel maps. Now if you street ported the engine the you could extract a lot more power. However having a standalone system eliminates most of the stock rats nest under the hood and from an electical stand point would make your car much more reliable. But from a mechanical stand point its still a rotary :)

bigturbo, has provided a good summary. Just to add (although you are ware of this I'm sure) Is that you are eliminating 15+ old EFI technology and upgrading to a top-of-line, fully adjustable standalone Engine Management System. It's just a HUGE bonus that you are also axing the Passengerside (Power) Harness. So no more crunchy wires for us. :)
Don't be discouraged that your car Is only naturally aspirated (NA). I purchased my unit for my s4 NA just before I transplanted an entire s5 TII Power train. A few other members have a Microtech for there NA. Silver88gxl comes to mind.

Yeah thats why i mentioned getting rid of a rats nest. I am actually soon going to be in the same boat as a lot of people on here. I got rear ended by an uninsured person and there is some unibody damage(not too bad looking from the outside) so I can still drive it no problems, but Ill be swapping the entire drivetrain over to a n/a shell or vert shell in the next 6 months.
