Hi Mark,

You know more than me, mate! I was referring to the OP.

But as Mark said, might be different for a higher power set up.

Cold side won't change, but hot side will if you rotate the turbo and or choose a twist mount set-up.

Avoid Microtec.. they are cheap but they are the biggest POS ever developed anywhere.
May aswell just sit down and drink a 600ml bottle of cancer.

oh really did a bit of research but not really extensive
and alot of ppl said they were ok

might dig into it some more

yeah bud im reading just hard to keep up with everyones posts lol

and as for your post bud i see your logic behind it just weighing up if its worth going fmic for $250 on the ej20 to boost her up a lil more before december
when its going in shed

just for a lil more fun before i take the ej20 out to see what i could get out of it before she went bang

[xSMOKEx]

im leaning more towards geting a power fc over the microtec as we speak and forking out the extra cash for a better system taht i could use on my next motor

There are a lot of people who know no better and get suckered in by the price point. things are shocking. No where near as tunable as an Autronic or Motec or something decent.

People who are into Rotaries but know nothing about what they are doing use microtecs, can usually tell one that is running one by the dumps of unburnt fuel smoke they leave behind when mashing the pedal.

Worry about it when the time comes


Your stock ECU will run fine with the fmic. Maybe just reset it.

Looking through some pics I have, lance seems I have larger cold side piping, but as far as sizing goes I'm in the dark as to differences it makes.

Tbh mate, I'd wind up boost first then decide if you want to get a fmic. Im still running a tmic at 17psi. And whilst I do experience heat soak when stopped and will eventually upgrade to fmic, i wouldn't be throwing away $250 on piping for 6 months use.

yeah good point

those stock tmic's are really bad lol
even at 12.5 psi she gets on the warm side spec when you on boost for awile then get stuck at the lights
once that heat gets in there its does not like going away

and the scoop really does not do it justice

"leaveing jdm ecu in it going to hold off on the ecu for now as scuba said its really not needed

[Adam]

Sorry, forgot mine is aftermarket tmic

It's a cooling pro tmic, unsure of specs, it was the work of the p.o.

Fins can be bent back up if you have patience

[B4TT]

Just to clarify, my question regarding your age was not supposed to be derogetory I was just a little confused about your comment mentioning 14 year olds LOL.

Do you even have an RS mate? Not a stab, but they come with Water to air intercoolers. Not top mount air intercoolers.
