Im impatiently waiting for mine in the mail. Was wondering if anyone else is running this chip, and how they like it. Its supposed to be here today. Ill post details once its installed

 

I was running this chip when I first got my rx running again. Stock turbo and WG with full 3" exhaust makes for some hella Boost Creep, and I think the timing retard (-1 deg per psi above 9psi) helped save my engine from shooting apex seals...

It will allow you to squeeze a little more out of an almost stock setup running higher boost (less than 11psi on a stocker) don't quote me on this though...

Also, you can now upgrade to the 2.1 for less, later on.

Good luck! FYI, There is an RTEK forum under the ECU section... Check it out.

 

awesome! thankS!

 

im rocking it as well when i removed the OMP.

 

Just installed it...And I AM STILL HITTING FUEL CUT when the gauge gets 3/4 the way up...(im awaiting my new boost gauge to see actual boost psi)...The car is 100% stock. Any ideas???

 

Did you solder in the chip, or did Pocketlogger do it for you? You can't hit fuel cut with any of the Rtek chips; the code is completely removed. You should also check that your secondary injectors are plugged in and are seeing 12V.

 

Are you sure your hitting fuel cut? You should almost kiss the steering wheel when it happens.

 

Pocketlogger soldered it in. I emailed them and they assured me its not fuel cust as they totally remove that possibility with the new chip. They said it may be a problem with the coil, or a boost leak. Ill have to investigate more tomorrow. I just bought the car 2 weeks ago and I thought it was hitting fuel cut because as soon as the car hit maximum boost (3/4 on the stock gauge) it would fall flat on its face. It seems to do it worse the harder i am on the throttle, or if i try to get sideways. I am awaiting an aftermarket boost gauge to see whats going on with it. This is my first turbo rx7 so im somewhat of a noob...i feel 16 again haha. I really don't wanna blow her up. Once again, id like to thank all of you for your advice. Anthony

 

Yeah I've hit fuel cut a few times and it feels like you hit the brakes hard for just a second. Do you still have your catlytic converters?

 

Is it falling on its face at a certain rpm? Say....3800? Or is it rpm independent, just when you hit full boost?

 

have you checked the fuel system? leaks, pressure? fuel pump voltage? injectors?

 

Check the Turbo Inlet Duct if equipt, might have a small leak or no leak under vacuum, and it can open up under boost.

 

thanks again guys. I am going to work on the car now. It does not seem to fall on its face at 3800 so im guessing the secondary injectors are ok. It falls on its face as soon as it hits maximum boost. I am going to check fuel pressure in a few minutes. The converters are still on (for the moment). I was thinking they may be blocked too...too much to check haha. I'll keep you guys updated on what i find. thanks. Anthony

 

FIXED the fuel pump strainer had 1/4 inch of gel like gunk on it...wiped it off and the car runs like new! Thanks for everyones input

 

i was just gonna suggest the strainer lol
probably the #1 thing new owners should look at to get that out of the way =)

enjoy the boost

 

my car is doing the same stuff.... when u pull the unit do you need to get a new gasket? just worried about opening up the tank and ****** up the seal

 

nope. this is by far the easiest fuel pump ive ever encountered. remove the rear carpet and insulation. remove the 4 screws covering the fuel pump. disconnect the 2 fuel lines. remove the 8 phillips screws holding the fuel pump. then carefully pull the whole assembly out. i left my wiring still connected. my strainer had a thick layer of gel/paste-like goo on it. idk what it was from but i looked down in the tank with a flashlight and it looked fine. i just wiped the goo of with a few paper towels. good luck with it. hope it fixes your problem!

 

thanks! btw nice 7! really clean looking
