FCs Rule 09-29-2005 04:35 AM

ok guys i am new to the fc world and i am getting my first fc tomorrow. (God willing) and i wanted to find out some information. first things first the fc has a turbo back exhaust on it and an air intake. the guy told me that it boost very quick and it hit the fuel cut off point because he never got a fcd. so i was thinking about getting one of those but then i found out about rtec7. and i found some for sale too. so i was wondering which is better to tune. the safc or the rtec7? or should i get both? i was planning on getting some bigger injectors for the motor something like 720cc. and i wanted to get it tuned so i wanted to see which way is the better way to go with the method of tuning? also is 150 a good price for a rtec7 1.5 ecu?

The rtec you dont tune. It is a preset chip. The 1.5 does not adjust the timing like the 1.7 does, but you get alot of little things that help out the car.

You can buy the 1.5 for $95 and do it yourself, or send the ECU to digital tuning and have them put the 1.7 in it for $125. I have heard some good things about it, so I would just get the 1.7 installed, put your 720 secondaries in and drive.



If you are worried about the tuning aspect of it, also get a SAFC to fine tune it.

Nope the 1.5 also retards timing, 1 degree per psi OVER 9 psi.





If you used the SAFC AND the 1.5 your car would be really something, the Rtek, is the only non standalone, ecu I will use.

Whoa, I completly miss read that. So the differences is that the v. 1.7 controlls at minimum, 720 secondaries, and has the unflood code. Not bad for a $10 difference.



If you went with both, that will give you a pretty good edge without going standalone
