Fancy putting a Apexi ECU into your FC ?

used datalogit to put it in. I also run another FC with T04R and PFC. So was nothing new to me about it.

I\'ve just ordered an FD Pfc to stick in the T2 cab,so will let you know how it goes.

:burnout

The only problem I have come across with the microtech is that it doesn\'t control the OMP so you need to run on premix. Can\'t see why you would have been suffering excessive knock with the ECU showing 5deg unless there was a sensor problem? Keep us updated on the PFC route, I\'ve never been a fan myself, but there is no logic to that, I just prefer the microtech\'s software from a visual and useability point of view.

I have been trying to decide between a PFC or the MicroTech for the FC that I am putting together.... I didn\'t know you couldn\'t run the OMP from the Microtech... that changes a few things
I have also read of people tossing engines due to the ignition lock being left on when driving.

Urm can\'t you run a OMP with a Microtech? I was led to belive the LTX10 had a OMP driver (or could have one as an Extra)

I was also led to belive the Microtech has better Maps and is more user Frendly.

The only reason PFC\'s are so popular is there Plug and play unlike the Microtech that could be adapted to Plug and play but is usaly fitted with a New engine loom (which by the way is another advantage with a car thats well in the Teens, you get rid of the old Brital engine loom)

If you need any advice on Microtech\'s i advise you speak to this guy, (Jon Blanch @ //WWW.RXEngineering.com)

Early TII\'s had a rod linking the OMP to throttle to adjust oil flow, so you could run Microtech without going premix using that setup.

The OMP issue isn\'t a major problem, just means you have to remeber to run premix! To be honest, bearing in mind the cars are getting on for 18-20 years old now, the OMP won\'t be as good as it was anyway so running premix is a better option (at least the volume of oil in the mix is constant)

The Microtech can be plug and play now, they make a plug and play adapter (extra cost) but then you are going to be relying on a 18-20 year old wiring loom :2eek

The front casing on the engine I have has a throttle link thing that I couldn\'t work out what it was. I was going to swap the front casing for the standard engine I pulled out of the car.
I have got a block off plate kit.... so I can block everything off including the omp anyway, which still requires swaping the front casing.

Only the S4\'s and the EGI\'s had the mechanical linkage, I modded the actual linkage on my old EGI (ei changed it to a shorter one) to get the oiling up.
Its OMP on all UK turbos and cabriolets.
