haltech has gone way the hell downhill the last year or so, so i'm in the market for a new kind of ems to use.

i like the features of the wolfs, but the tuning is a little dodgy..also, i'd need an external reluctor to use it on an fd...
up until now, the tuning on the meecrotechs has been cool, but no output options.

looks like the lt10 is fixing that problem.

so anyone's impressions on this particular one?

 

ive installed and tuned heaps of them,

the X4 IGBT that they come with is a huge jumo im the spark, they have 3 outputs and 2 inputs, the outputs are configured for fan, rpm, and idle control standard,

all in all they work great and are a big leap foward in functions compared to the other models

 

i've always been impressed with the tunability of the microtechs i've done. i just wish they'd hop on the pwm boat--i'd become a dealer!!

 

what do you mean by PWM boat??

 

pulse width modulated..

the microtech guy i talked to couldn't answer the question when i asked if i could use an output to control a fan, then use it as a boost switch the next week...

wolf is really nice on their outputs. each one has an rpm on/off, load on/off, temp on.of and a few other parameters. awesome control so you can get creative and do whatever you want with them.

a really simple example of that would be: i installed a haltech in one guy's car and he didn't like gauges... he just wanted one big red light to illuminate if something went wrong, and a yellow light for when something was going to go wrong, or as a warning.

i used one of the pwm's as an electric fan output set @ 230 degrees F, to turn the red light on.
same thing for when intake temps got over 180*F.

all of these are simple on/off switches and could be easily duplicated. i like a big number of outputs so i can have the computer control as many accessories as possible--this way i don't have to use seperate modules everywhere.

i think once microtech gets hip with all of that, and a few other things, they're gonna be unstoppable!

yellow was a shift light, and when coolant temps got above 220*F

 

i know what PWM means etc,

on the LT10 you have one PWM output, 2 switched output,

the PWM is usually set up to control the idle motor,

the 2 switches are set for water temp and rpm

the only thing i dont like about wolfs is they are a ***** to tune and fuel delivery changes from run to run, you will do a pull and the mixtures will be sweet then do another pull and they will change a decient amount, i tune all brands of ecu's from microtech, motec, haltech, wolf, ems, PFC etc and the microtech and the motec are the only ones i like to work with as they are repeatable!

 

i've never had a problem with the repeatability from haltechs.

anyway, i'd just like to see half a dozen inputs and outputs from the microtechs, and i wanna be able to configure them however i want.

 

yep im running the LT10 & i wouldnt mind some info on the boost control function ie:

is the boost control function worth using
how well does the boost control function works
what i need to do to set it up and get it working
& any other tips you think would help me....

cheers
