Only problem is that you don't have a Microtech on your car and you won't get one for free without it!

 

13's are more important to me than a free toy.

 

That's cool... i was replying in context to the thread. I think it can be aggreed that i have a vested interest in whether or not someone wins a unit.

 

Is the Microtech computer only use the MAP sensor as load?&nbsp Can you run a "1-bar" MAP sensor so you get better resolution?&nbsp Can you switch to TPS as the load variable?

Since the MAP sensor is integrated into the housing, the N/A versions will still use the same sensor, but with the load points moved in order to keep costs down and allow people to move to a turbo setup in the future if they'd like.

Yes, you can use TPS as the load reference. It's adjustable in a number of ways using the dealer configuration hardware (e.g. 0-30% then to MAP or 0-100% spanning -30" to 3psig, etc). Apparently that's only been really useful in Skyline applications (don't ask me how/why! )

I never liked that about most standalones, is that most of them required specific sensors, specific map sensors and such and didn't give you much chance to swap, unless you send it in for an 'upgrade' They should make it where you can set the points and use your own sensors for your specific application, ahh well, </end rant>

 

All I can say is "Don't Change that DIAL!" we will have some announcements to make regarding some new hardware very soon! That's already more than i'm really permitted to say, but rest assured, if that's what you want , you won't be disappointed!

Also, the microtech does make use of a majority of the stock sensors. The only it doesn't use is the factory map sensor. That is done for resolution purposes.

 

You guys still haven't broken a 6port 13b into 13s yet. This link will tell you what you need to follow to get it , read the whole thing http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/showth...threadid=15029 The reason why i'm not doing this is cause i would rather have a bridge port.

 

I don't understand what (iridium) spark plugs have to do with running into the 13's...

back from teh dead.

Is this still going on, since BR7 isn't an MT dealer anymore?

 

Wild guess, I'm thinking this contest is dead.

 

It's still gonna be a cool challenge, even if you don't get anything out of it.

 

Well, look who proposed this "contest"...they're no longer around due to flucky practices so I'd say this thread Is dead.

 

what happend to those people...thought they had a shop up and running...

 

I still think that guys a quack, a dunno why they have the thread stickied,.. i mean come on 6mm carbon seals?? he put his GTUS ring and pinion in a T2 rearend??? Iridium plugs that drop a second and a half off your time?!?

 

Amen to that... The guy has no idea what he's talking about, 720 & 1600's on an N/A? What a joke. For a car that required all that fuel and only getting 13's, i'd say he's got a bit of an issue somewhere.

 

They ALLEDGEDLY screwed up a bunch of orders and ripped people off. They had their status of Microtech AUTHORIZED dealer revoked and their forum proveleges removed, AFAIKR

 

In short, we got in over our heads without any substantial capital to float any kind of inventory on. all of our problems stemmed from our innability to maintain orders after the group buy was over. combined with a credit card collection company that mislead us into a contract without providing user agreements further hampered our ability to move product. there were a number of computers delivered on our part that we never recieved payment on - but that's part of the risk of business and is not intended as an excuse. our collection company refused to release the funds collected from a large order sent to puerto rico directly from MT Australia and that set us back BIG time - we still haven't recieved that money and from the looks of it, we never will. Not to mention the thousands we gave up on the rebate offer durring that group buy - we lost a ton of money on that one!

yes, our status as dealers has been revoked and to be completely honest it is all for the better. Microtech is trying hard to position themselves in the market and they need a supply chain that is far more suited to their needs than we were able to provide. I still stand by the product and realize that my integrity as a business person has been tainted by trying to do more than i could - my mouth wrote a check that my *** couldn't cash.

we've moved on. i am still loyal to Microtech's products and have maintained contacts with one of the other regional dealers. i am working at a much more grass roots level to re-establish my integrity. I'm no longer seeking business that i can't handle immediately and without delay.

Our forum privelelges were never taken away as users, however there were moderator changes made to our messages and .sig lines - basically we pushed the envelope of advertising too far and i understand the actions that were taken on our accounts - nothing drastic, just enough to send us the message.

What hurt me in the whole ordeal was the accusation that i lied to customers in order to scam them. In every instance that a product was delayed or order was botched i tried to get them in contact with people at microtech global who had the answers for them.

Sorry to hear what happened to you guys. No7yet and yourself where always helpfull on the forum.

I sold the LT8 that I bought on the group buy, and I'm waiting for the release of the Lt-16. The support around her has'nt been as good after you guys left exect for 10secrx7 (Dale).

Good luck

Luis

 

dale is a geat guy and i still owe him big time for all that he did for us. i'm in the process of making amends with everyone but i'm trying to do it at a measured pace that i have control of.

i appreciate the kind words!

I'll go with my turbo swap, save some time and use a haltech

 

Thats too bad ray...
I worked at a company that had a similar thing happen to them. It was a small business that bought a shitload of stuff from a few suppliers, but never paid them!
So really, the company I worked for was just plain rotten, the owner fucked over a couple hard working small business's and they never saw a dime of what he bought... I ended up quiting and moving on to a different computer company when business started to get bad, a few months after I left that **** happened while my friend was still workin for them. It was a real sad story for the business's that dealt with that company, but if anythings to be learned, its not to ring up **** on an account for a company thats over a certain amount of $.

Anyways, best of luck, you gonna start a business again?
