Microtech EMS
- Thread starter TurfBurn
- Start date
They are released and ready to go.. price is 1200... shipping costs can be negotiated 
LOL... but 1200 is basically what you'll pay. (depending on exchange rates at the time of purchase and your location for shipping final price can vary from 1170 to 1250 basically).

Can I have one? =) I'll be your best friend!
Any chance we can get some details on the wiring process that you have to do to get this guy installed? I'm needing an EMS for my Protege before I can go much further, since my ECU would be pissed if I even THOUGHT of putting my ITB's on before changing out the ECU. =)

I'd love to post the wiring for you to show you how simple it is.. but the problem with that is it reveals some of the tricks that are the deal as to why we got it to work without any issues, and it didn't work before on cars. I can give you the list of connections made though... but it's roughly about 14 total wiring connections that are made. It essentially severs the motor from the stock ECU and puts it under the Microtech's control.
But dont' worry, Keola and Dave can vouch for my instruction writing skills... I call out every length, wire color, wire location, and method necessary for each connection. If you can read you can install the Microtech. The one other thing I really emphasize though is soldering is important for reliability reasons... but the absolute must of the install is you MUST have a wideband to read your AFR's for tuning it.
Pray for the American dollar to do stronger and then I can pull the price down some... the exchange rate was AWESOME when we started this deal (like 70%) and now it is sucky (up around 79% most days) which on an expensive unit like this really kicks us for costs.

Hmm... I'll keep it in mind, then. Pretty much, it's coming around that I may need to take out a loan to finish up my engine build. I really don't want to, but in the lay time, I'm saving up cash, and hopefully it won't come to needing the loan, but we'll see.
I certainly am getting more and more impatient as time goes on. Hehee.
Oh, and on an off-topic note, is there any chance you still have a diagram of the intake manifold flange? I killed mine at some point, and can't find it now. I just need the dimensions and whatnot, so I can get one made up again, out of aluminum or stainless instead of evil and rusty mild steel.

Cool. Let me know how much out of each (Aluminum and SS. 304 is fine for the SS, I would imagine) and I may be up for that. My local guy is kinda expensive for custom work.

Actually, I was supposed to get you spacing for my ITB's, too, wasn't I? For a custom cast piece or something? I think I have that written down. Let me take a look when I get home.
