Needs a bit of tuning at low/zero throttle settings I think 'cause it is a bit hard starting and needs to be helped with the throttle once it starts until it runs for a minute or so.
Definitely put the car on the dyno before you run it too hard with the mods. Rtek 1.7 purports to be mapped to 720cc or so secondaries, but like Reagan used to say, trust but verify.  |
my setup:
FMIC
no emissions
stock turbo
cleaned 550s, new RC750s
Rtek 1.7 keeping mop
old school RB full T2 exhaust (large diameter, 1pc DP/presilencer to catback)
FD fuel pump (Denso's aftermarket replacement for a FD and supraTT pump are the same part#)
Innovate WB
Thanks for the info. I've got no emissions or AWS but only need to hold the throttle for just a second or two and then it idle's fine. I've ran mine at an autocross road course and it ran well. What were the AFRs before you made the switch? With a FMIC mine does well (in the 11s) in 3rd gear but my boost bleeds down to about 8psi. In 4th (interstate) it will creep past 12psi to 13,14,15 and the AFRs ride quickly. I once saw a 13AFR but backed off quickly. Luckily, I don't have the need for full boost in 4th gear so the problem doesn't present itself... I just have to remember.
Next step was going to be either port the wastegate or go BNR stage1, so its good to know what people have tried. I just want to know if the RTEK 1.7 is going to be enough ahead of time and not pop the motor.
