I just asked Tim from microtech about the whole thing from going NA to Turbo maps. I should have a reply in a few hours.



My LTX8 is awesome. I love it soooooo much. And Rotaryman, the LTs have a built in MAP with the option of an external. Come on, you of all people should know that since we sell them.

Just heard from Tim.



He said that all rotary LTs are the same, they just come with a different base map. There is no need to have it reprogrammed.



So just buy a Microtech LT8. I can probally have one made for you so that you have both the NA and turbo base maps on there.

Hi all,

I run an Ltx-8 on my 13bt.........Compared to the Wold3d I used to run this little beastie is hot.......Easy to set up, easy to program and it has all the features you'll ever want....

You should stay with the original coils and ignitors if you don't want to bugger around with the electrics..... I'm running 20 psi with the standard ones and haven't had any problems.



Definately look into the data dash, it has lots of great functions such as shift light, overboost warning, temp warning (air and water), log functions etc. it can also hold 4 additional maps in its memcals.



you can get the ltx with the turbo base maps and use it on your n/a until the new barrell comes along...It will run fine but just won't use the turbo mapings extended (positive boost) fuel and boost retard.



hope this helps

Rossco

yeah i was looking into a micro tech lt8 as well i just dont have the money for a haltech unfortunantly but it would be for the turbo2 swap so i could just get them to send it with the base turbo map... what other options are there aside from microtech and haltech? oh yeah and wheres kevin haha i need to ask about his ecu. what about an adapter that uses the old wiring harness and hooks up to the microtech

The Microtechs have an adapter so you can use your factory harness. I have to look up the price for it, but we can get them.

if you price out all the stuff to make the mt compareable to the haltech feature wise the price difference is like $80....

BTW, ur options for aftermarket EMS would be:



Haltech

Microtech

Motec

Electromotive TecII & TecIII

and PowerFC for the series5 guys..



There are ton of smaller off-name companies too, but those are the main ones you'd see on an rx7.

First off thanks for all the info.



I am stuck in the cross hairs LOL



I think I will go microtech and get that dash thing. Roadkill669 do me a favor find out how much the following will cost. The Microtech LT8, the Dash Unit, & the adapter to use the stock wire harness. I want to save the Microtech's harness for the nice clean engine bay after the TII swap.



With that dash unit I can get rid of my idiot lights right? It warns of over temp, oil preassure, and other vitals like that? I want to put a 7 inch indash Monitor W/dvd in there
