WTB/EOI: [QLD] - Intercooler for BG

[FEM]

Hey,

Looking for an intercooler for a BG, the stocko is prety crappy.

Anyone know anything about them or know where i can get one?

Dan.

[Fosgate]

you already have a stock and want to upgrade or you looking for a stock unit.. not really clear...

I have stock ones here.

[twilightprotege]

naturally, b3m can sort you out with a custom front mount and hard pipe setup. let us know what you want!

[bourbon]

ok dude, we will need more info...what are you after...what do you want out of the car...and from memory arnt you buying 323kids car? what size do you want...are you just after the WOW factor?

[project.r.racing]

ebay is ur friend

[FEM]

Yeah sorry men, i would like to know whats on offer for a new front mount for a BG, just pricing and installation - all that sorta stuff.

Yeah i am looking at getting his car but the ECU has a problem so it wont be running for a bit. He has a Microtech LT-8 and it blew a fuse (no idea why)? Now it has an error, he also said the car ran great before the Walbro fuel pump went in? Could the fuel pump be connected incorrectly. I mean, it could be a million different things that set the error off. Just wondering if you guys know/heard of anything like that?

Cheers.

Dan.

That's anormal Microtech issue, but is an easy fix. Heard of it alot accually. I can't remember how to fix it as haven't touched a MT in about 4 years. Ring Mircotech and ask them. or e-mail?

Also a FMIC with piping will cost you between $800-$1000 installed.

oh really? its a common error. hmm. so its easy to fix but how much would it cost? if u can remember lol. also, do u have to send it to microtech or can u take it to a mech that deals with em and re tune it?

thanks for the price on the fmic too!

Microtech and associated wiring sits behind a 15amp fuse. Any more then 15amps draw over this fuse and it'll blow.

This is to protect your microtech from voltage spikes which would kill the system.

Recheck your wiring (i've blown the fuse a few times on mine, normally comes down to a wiring mistake/not following the wiring diagrams to the letter..... just be thankful theres a fuse there to protect your stuff )

[FEM]

hmm, thats interesting. the fuse did blow, so it could be that! i have replaced it thou hahah.

[project.r.racing]

Sounds like the goods to me... In a street cars, there is always gonna be massive power/voltage spikes due to things like headlights, air-con, power-steering, stereo units etc. If it's just a fuse, yippee

[FEM]

hahah that is true!! its not my car, its ryan (323kid) except i want to buy it and i cant cuz its not going and we are trying to get the prob solved!! thanks men!

[LordWorm]

if the problem cropped up when you upgraded the fuel pump, insure its wired in properly. it should NOT be getting power over the same power wire the microtech gets it from (microtech should trigger it on, and it should get power from the battery via relay - microtech manual shows the diagram)...

if you are trying to pull power through the same wire, its bound to blow that fuse =)

recheck your wiring, trace everything back over the wiring diagram and be 100% certain you have it right - if the problem persists, get on the MT forums and ask the question (but if you hop on there first, they'll first tell you to doublecheck all your wiring :P so best to do that first....then you'll get an answer quicker).

as Ryan points out, there are massive voltage spikes and stuff in a street car - get a DECENT grounding kit to iron some of this crap out... you can make one yourself from 4 guage wire and terminals - it'll cost you all of about $50 and 2 hours of free time with beer. Single best electrical upgrade you can do to your car (tiny bit of power gain as well, apparently)

[FEM]

if the fuse has blown will the error light still show? or what ever, ive never seen the device but ryan says there is an error reading.. not sure. he replaced the fuse and there now is an error.

[323kid]

hey hey I own the car at the moment.

Recently upgraded the fuelpump to a walbro unit, installed fine, bar popping a fuse once (wires touched).

anywho, got the pump working, lots of pressure in the lines.

When I try to start it, it cranks and cranks but just doesn't turn over.

I checked the microtech fuse (blue 15amp), it was blown.. so i replaced it.

Still won't crank over!!!!
checked for spark, plenty of that

there is a redlight on the ecu that is on
and also an orange one flashing when cranking.....

I have no idea whats wrong, and I am having trouble finding a place to take it to.

I just want it fixed, cause Dan(tinastar) is waiting for the car

It's a Microtech Lt-8

any help would be appreciated
(its got a BPT by the way)

cheers

orange one flashing when cranking is perfectly fine - that indicates spark.

obviously you cant get the car anywhere (or can you), but i could certianly have a looksie. if not, we've got very good contacts with the microtech boys

[Rupewrecht]

throttle position sensor?

[323kid]

NOTE:
The Ecu still has power
The Fuel pump turns on/off with ignition

[323kid]

yeah, the car does not go, ummmm I have a trailer, but can't get my hands on a tow car

[twilightprotege]

tps wont be a problem, for the MT it's an option.

can you (through a laptop, dash unit, hand controller) go to the error screens and find out why it's flashing? you can just use the side options from the main screen that shows when you first turn the MT on
