Only high impedance injectors though. Meh, the Haltechs of 3 years ago were fine, or even those of 10 years ago (minus some reluctor issues in the K series) for track cars as they were about the state of the industry at the time. Compared to today of course they are dinosaur. In the late 90s, if you had an RX-7 with a standalone, it was running a Haltech.

Ah, forgot about the Sprint RE. I checked the RPM in the software and it lets you change it up to 16,000 RPM. For the price of $950, its definitely a good option for a race car or a simplified N/A street car. The lack of support for low impedance injectors isn't a big deal now that the EV14's are high impedance up to 2000cc's

. The lack of support for an OMP is a bugger though in my books for street car but if your considering an RE, chances are you premix anyway.

Yah, I really have a hate relationship for the older Haltech's, so many bad experiences with the E8's where the ECU has varying problems. Surprisingly no issues with the E6's but its dead slow updating/loading a map and when it losses sync a bunch of times OMG time waster LOL. I'm still surprised that there is any wait time loading the map at all with the new Platinum's where other ECU's are more or less instant.
