my rx7 build
so its officially rebuild time for my t2, so i'm planning to step it up a bit.im getting a basic rebuild,bnr stage 1 turbo, fmic, rtek 1.7 ecu,550/720cc injectors,walbro 255lph fp,boost controller,a wideband,new koyo radiator electric taurus fan etc.
my questions are...
1.can the rtek 1.7 support the bnr stage 1 turbo,i have an s5 turbo 2 and as far as i know they do not make the stage 2 rtek ecu for my car
2.is it safe to put all of these modifications on the car during the reinstallation process(im afraid ill blow my motor again during the break in period with these mods)

Personally I would say if you can afford it get a true EMS over rtek. It will be way better in the end and you can dial in an exact tune.
During break in, don't hit boost and you should be ready to roll. Some people like to run N/A for break in to avoid any accidents like putting the hammer down during highway maneuvers but its up to you.

If everyone's done crapping on this guy can we please give him some additional opinions...
Assuming he doesn't have the budget for standalone, do we know if the Rtek can support the BNR stage I turbo? Now if he can, what's everyone's favorite EMS?
As far as break-in period goes, would it make sense to run it n/a during initial break-in (1500 miles) and then on low boost for another say, 1000 miles or so?

Top Down, Boost Up

Theoretically, a 550/720cc setup with an rtek 1.7 should be just barely enough for a BNR stage 1 at full boost. I'd go with the 1.8 and 4x720s so you have some headroom. Either way, nothing's guaranteed, so slowly upping the boost while checking AFRs will be the way to go if you want to be sure it's not going to pop.

Getting it to run n/a requires at least a header and a connection to whatever exhaust you have. Plus there will be misc stuff to block off and the like. As long as your not tempted into using the boost early there should be no problems. But if you are caught in a situation where you need to step on it to avoid trouble, thats where you can have problems.
