MRT Power Kits

Postby nytrojen » Mon Nov 02, 2009 9:56 am

This may be interesting for those 04-06 GT owners out there:

I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I simply came across this when I was researching information on Liberties prior to getting mine.

Yep good background research into the mod path, however I agree using MRT parts = big $$

If you look at the source of that info http://www.sjautomotive.com.au, S&J are a very well known adelaide workshop. I use them for all my servicing, suspension, diagnostics etc, but won't be using them for Tuning seeing as they are locked in with EcuTek licensing!

LOL! Don't get me wrong, Avon. In the hands of a capable tuner, EcuTek can be a powerful tool. However most people object to:

1. MRT's underhanded and deceptive marketing
2. A good chunk of money that you pay goes straight to MRT as a license fee
3. EcuTek locks your ECU and prevents any non-MRT resellers from tuning it

I got stung on #3 after getting Autotech to tune my car. They don't know jack about the Gen IV Libertys. Ended up having to get a new ECU because my ECU was locked. Hmm, looking to sell my EcuTek locked MY07 STi ECU (Auto) soon.

If you're in Adelaide however S&J seem to be the place to go.

Heard good things about Ultimate Tunes, a MRT reseller, in ACT as well. :D

There's better. Personally, I'd travel to Sydney and use someone like Pulse as did Gunna.

We're trying to keep on topic and discuss MRT resellers! :D Pulse can tune a Liberty stuck with EcuTek, but only MY04-MY06. Otherwise they don't install EcuTek as they are not a reseller. They use OpenECU tuning, as do other places like C&V Performance.

Ha ha, I know Pulse use OpenECU tuning. That was my point (in cryptic form).

Please, continue to discuss MRT's sellers.
