Yeah! New rtek 1.7 chip now available
its not realy a question of using a smaller size injector, its realy a question of what size injector the gslse injector is. is it 680cc or is it 720cc ? can any one compare the denzo replacement part # to what size they are? and I would not dream of useing less fuel injector than what the instructions say to use.

yeah your right. I have a hybrid that sees 15psi on a regular basis (before wastegate porting) so I'm guessing I will be seeing 15 if I set it that high with my boost controller however with those with stock turbos 12psi is all you should see at maximum.
There has been a correction on the site. We quoted 1.7 as having a staging point at 3300 when actually it's still 3500 just like the 1.5.
As per Henrik, there is a certain amount of hysterisis in the staging RPM.. They come on at 3500 and once on, they wont turn off until 3300.

oh crazy you guys aren't doing the self installs of the chips now huh??? Why is this??? Also did the early 1.7 chips come with the early 3300 secondary cut on or no??? THanks
No self installs for 1.7 because it is no longer just an easy chip swap. You need to cut traces and run wires.
The 3300 was a typo that was on the site for a total of 24 hours. All chips always had 3500 secondary staging point.

ok thanks for the info I've got alot of work cut out for me because I have one of the chips on the way and I'll have to do the jumper wires etc....Should be fun
Anyways thanks again.
Anyways thanks again.
2.0 is a major mod to the ECU, it adds a piggyback board that provides a serial port interface that can be used for datalogging out of the ECU and configuration of settings in the ECU. Using a pocketlogger on a Palm, you'll be able to view in realtime as well as record rpm, boost, temps, TPS, etc. Initial configuration ability will include trim the fuel delivery (built in S-AFC, only better), select injector configurations and secondary rpm staging. Timing control will follow.

Shipped ECU Out Today.
Sent my ECU out today. Wish I could have done the self install--now I'm out of a car for a few days--oh well it's a great product.
I bailed on the E-manage to go with the Rtek 1.7. Does everything I want and will run $170 (the extra is shipping costs) versus the E-manage at $400. I still think the E-manage is a great piggyback, just right now the cost is an issue.
Still would like to know how high the timing gets retarded in relation to boost. Does it retard timing up to the sensor limit of ~15 psi?
I'll let you all know how it goes.

Interesting question but I don't see how that chip could change how high the boost sensor sees boost. If the boost sensor sees up to 15psi I'm sure thats all this will do. But I may be wrong. You should email them and ask them. They are realy good about answering questions. If you do this write back and tell us. Thanks.
totally clueless on s4 ecu
would installing the chip be similar to installing like a RAM chip in your personal computer or would it require soldering?

oh it is way more advanced then a ram chip
You have to solder for the older 1.0 (discontinued) and 1.5 however with the 1.7 you have to cut and splice circuit board traces plus solder the chip. It is very advanced.

one more question how exactly is it soldered to the board, wires or something else?
