pay someone to do it
Hey guys,
I'm planning to put in my new Microtech LT10s into my sprinter. Any tips before I start?

at the very least make sure you have the instructions for the microtech, including labelling for what wires go where, and the electrical wiring diagram for the sprinter. Even then you'll find wires that you're going to have to trace with a multimeter, make some educated guesses, and cross your fingers.
I have no idea what's required to wire up a microtech, but if you have to modify the engine loom, take it all out spread it out and go slowly. Make sure you know where everything goes and what it does before you cut/solder anything.
Rice has the right idea though. Much quicker and easier to pay someone who does it for a living.
lol it is easier to pay someone else but no one here in Wagga wants to do it. damn this place is a shit hole. i guess i will just take my time.
Order the computer new, and tell them what engine and what distributor and how many coils you are going to run. This way they will send you the right version. Also discuss with them what igniter you will run, or buy a MicroTech one. If you really get stuck, you can just phone MicroTech and have a chat with them. They are good like that.
You will also need a laptop with a serial port (Dell Latitude D series are great for this) as most laptops no longer have the serial port. Otherwise you can get a USB-Serial adapter, but it's a pain. Also you need the special MicroTech serial cable adapter for $120, because MicroTech are bastards for making you buy it.
You can use a MicroTech hand controller, but I hate them. I heard once that even the Lebs in Melbourne throw them across the workshop in frustration.
i have a microtech LT10s its already programmed for a 4age, but crap i didn't know you needed a laptop. from what i gathered from the instructions i thought it was just for tuning?
