I知 looking to upgrade from power fc to haltech elite 1500. I知 also wanting to use e85 will the 1500 a good choice or do I need to go with the 2500 for the extra injector drivers

 

The 1500 has 4 injector drivers, and can do direct fire if you aren't doing DBW. If you want that, or an additional stage of injectors, or just to future proof (20b, v8, Jz) you'll want to go 2500. 1500 is fine for a 13b otherwise.

 

I am wanting to do DBW. So I think I need to get the 2500 thanks for your help.

 

Are you sure about this? I think you can do direct fire and 4 injectors with dbw on the 1500.

I may be reading this wrong, but the diagram shows them as separate outputs for the throttle body.

The 1500 will do DBW and direct fire ignition on the 13B. Both the 1500 and 2500 have the same number of analog and digital inputs. The only difference is that the 2500 have 4 more injection and ignition outputs (8 each v 4 each).

The 1500 will do everything you want if you池e fine with 2 stages of injection. If you want the 3rd stage, and it痴 really not necessary IMO, then you値l need to go to the 2500. With the 1500, a pair of ID1700 primaries and ID2600 secondaries will provide all the fuel you値l need with only 2 stages.

 

I would recommend playing with the Haltech software and essentially mapping out what features you want, and then going from there. I'm personally running a 1500 with DBW, direct fire, and have integrated a ton of stuff in to my OEM harness to help with streetability and comfort. If you ditch your OMP, the 1500 should be okay, but it never hurts to have more than what you need and the price jump between the 1500 and 2500 isn't so bad in the grand scheme of things.

 

You're totally correct, I don't know what I was thinking. Cheers.

 

The 1500 can't handle the OMP?

 

Yes, it can..... but it comes down to what you wanna run.
Haltech 1500 only has so many inputs/outputs.... ie... if you want OMP then you can't run DBW without a separate expander box.
So if your planning to NOT use DBW then you'll have enough I/O's for a OMP.

Can someone say what DBW is?

 

Drive By Wire

 

you have enough i/o to run both dbw and omp depending on what you want to run. you will need 4 spare inputs and the 2 dbw outputs available.

 

Correct... you can but it depends on what's important for your setup.

Why anyone would buy an Elite 1500 is beyond me.

For the sake of a few hundred $$$ get the 2500 and future proof your install incase you need more I/O later.

If a couple of hundred dollars is gona break the bank you probably should not own a rotary.

 

And then you spend the extra money and realize you only got the Os in the I/O and you really needed the Is. 🙄

 

Yeah, go get that Twin Disc instead of a puck. Go get those FPSpec Ohlins instead of standard DFVs. Go get that T56 instead of a low milage JDM trans. Get all the inconel shielding instead of ceramic coat and wrap. Get the Mazda Motorsports bushings over the Super Pro kit. Get those ceramic apex seals, those billet plates, those ID injectors, those -AN lines, those custom CCWs, a carbon trunk doors and roof skin... it's just a few hundred more each time..

 

Think what you will.

The elite 1500 doesn't have a lot of resources available, even the 2500 is lacking in today's age of sensors available, the 2500 is the bare minimum imo. Once again if a couple of hundred dollars is going to break the bank, sell the car, let somebody else who will treat the car properly build it.
