BTW I have the v1.5 now and they say it's only 20bux to upgrade!! W00t!
Now I gotta get some 720's and boost!
BTW I'm assuming the fuel map is conservatively a bit rich right?
Currently I go SUPER lean right at the injector kick on (3500rpm)

From what Henrik had posted before, the 1.7 will control the 720cc's as if they were stock 550cc's. I supposed only he can tell us what "safe" boost is on the 1.7.

The stock ECU will compensate for higher boost as well - even 12 psi BUT the stock car runs out of injector past 10 psi. With Rtek v1.7 you WILL have enough injector past 10 psi and likely to around 14. With the Rtek 1.7, your new limit will be the stock turbo/intercooler. The stock IC is no good past 11 psi (I believe) and the stock turbo is done at 14-15 psi (oil seals will take a dump). The Rtek 1.7 is perfect for car with 720cc injectors, a stock turbo, upgraded fuel pump, full intake/exhaust and FMIC (as I understand it).
Its scary when i read '' Needs 720 or bigger or else engine damage will occru but I guess its mapped for that size of injector ''
I hope there will be a trade in value for the when the V 2 comes out
witht his ecu will i still need resistors for my secondaries going from high impedence to low impedence?
i dont need the rtek if i have the f-con with gcc right?

Would this work with like 850 cc injectors and not have to wory about flooding?

1.7 is programmed for 720's, nothing larger. It does not sense what injectors you have, how could it? Anything larger than 720's will run too rich. He programs the ECU to control 720cc secondaries as if they were stock giving you a large increase in headroom until you run lean/out of injector.
Plus, since you aren't fooling the stock ECU signal, there is no adverse effect in timing.

yeah I thought everyone knew that??? the stock ecu is made for 550's or larger and if you have larger you get the safc however with the rtek 1.7 it changes the fuel map for 720's or larger and if you have larger than 720's you need an safc. The only thing the 1.7 does is see the 720's and makes them to where they don't run so rich most I believe because 720's are very popular with the mild to mid modding comunity. I don't think he would make anything for the high preformance in mind because at that point you will just get a microtech or haltech

HKS F-Con...
I currently have and Fcon waiting to be installed... which would you recommend... because this seems like it's plug and play and takes the difficulties of tuning fuel... or better yet would the chipped ecu work together with the fcon, since the fcon would be pulling the info from the chipped ecu anyway? just curious....
