draven Forums Junkie I supported Toymods Location: Epping, Sydney Registered: May 2002	The final word on the 1jz-gte microtech - croydon tuned Tue, 13 May 2003 07:38 since so many people contributed to the discussion on croydon, and the installation (especially Paul - I'd give you the thanks you deserve but your girlfriend might get jealous) first, a word on croydon. They were great guys. Polite, fast, had a good chat to me afterward on what they'd done. Didn't charge me for fixing the "wont start" problem, even though it wasn't their faul (loose starter wire apparently). Very pricey, yes... but I'm happy with the job they did so I'm not complaining (the pricey bit wasn't the tune, it was everything else). Power-wise, the microtech is a slight improvement on the manual 1jz computer. the turbo spools up much earlier, and once it hits full boost it feels a lot happier than it did with the stocker computer. Fuel economy.... I'm only half way through testing. the supra spent it's first microtech-powered tank of fuel with the needle on the redline (well, it would be if I had a needle, it's a digi dash. and the tacho doesn't work anyhow). Stop start traffic, max acelleration off most starts, full boost as often as it was safe to do so. At this level of driving, the microtech is a *much* bigger fuel guzzler than the stocker. I got about 5km/L, or using 20L/100km. that's a *lot* for stock boost. more to come when I empty this tank, driving normally [Report message to a moderator]
