Microtech Info Mon, 14 February 2005 10:36 Go to next message
I'm after some info on MT series microtech ecu's. I was wondering if anyone knew of a link with the specs and such. I've checked the microtech website and got wiring diagrams but they don't have the specs.

The reason for the query is because I have been offered a second hand one (I think it's an MT8 but I haven't seen it yet) and I want to know what I'm buying, if I go ahead with it.

If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated Very Happy .

Thanks

Brad

(I hope this is the right place for this thread)

The MT series cannot be reprogrammed anymore (ie, the setup it has on it, for cyls, ignition, sensors, pickups etc) is locked for life now.
Microtech stopped reprogramming them about a year ago.

The also require a handcontroller to be tuned, as they are not laptop compatible.

So you better be getting it real cheap (like 400max), and it better currently suit your motor, otherwise you will get bitten in the ass.

Thanks for the reply.
I picked up the ecu today (haven't paid for it yet) and it is actually an LT8. Is costing me $300 with a cut loom.
I'll check the microtech website again and try googleing.

If anyone has info on these that they can pass on it would be good. you can never get too much info Very Happy .

LT8 should have same wiring as LT8S

Requires external ignitors, either Bosch 124's or 008's are the easiest to use. (Carby or first EFI Camira used these).

Get a laptop cable and dongle from Microtech, download the software, and borrow a lappie.

I'm 90% sure they still mod the LT8 at the factory, but a phone call will solve that.
New looms are available too.

Check it out properly, microtech dont like to provide new looms to replace cut ones. So check that its not stolen or anything like that.

Good point, didn't think of that.
Make sure he has a receipt.

I know the guy I'm buying it off so I know it is legit.
I emailed microtech last night and they said new looms are available from their factory for $150.
