Currently running a hybrid turbo and a MBC. I'd like to keep the total cost under $1500., so I figure that lets out the Motec and the Electromotive units. I'll be doing the install myself, between baby feedings and diaper changes. Thanks for your support.

What can your local tuner tune? Used Haltechs E6k(s) are cheap!

haltech is the way to go not very expensive, replacement parts can be found fairly cheap, and much support for them. hell this place even has maps you can download. Besides e6ks are proven to work very well.

Go with a Microtech man. I love it. I can come down to Richmond and show you all the features about it one day and if you go with it, I can help with the install. Takes about 2 hours (at least it will now since I know what I am doing)



Just PM or IM me sometime.

Haltech, and with that you gain a world of knowledge on howthe rotary operates. Forget the pre-configured stuff.

Go Microtech



Ok, done w/ shameless plug..but seriously, if you do purchase one Roadkill and I could make time to help you tune it or install..whatever works. We also have a somewhat local dyno shop here and your more then welcome to join us for some tuning days...we're located about 45 minutes north of you(your in Richmond right?)

Well, I'm still not 100% decided, but I am leaning toward Microtech at the moment. I like the fact that they seem to have more rotary-specific install diagrams than the others, and the install seems like it will be easier because I won't have to replace all the sensors. And it's cheaper. These are big advantages for me.



And who can argue with this:



"Microtech LT8 and LT12 ECU’s can be seen on some of the fastest vehicles in their class on earth like Jose “Siguel” Torres RX7 Pro Import car which runs sub 7 second ¼ miles..."



Above quoted from Microtech website.



Rotaryman88 and Roadkill669--I will be in touch.
