thoughts on Haltech Interceptor?

copied from the website


"Haltech Interceptor
The New Driving Force in Engine Management
The Haltech Interceptor is a totally new “piggy back” ECU designed to work in parallel with your existing factory ECU.

The Interceptor provides tuning of fuel mixtures, ignition timing, boost levels and many other features. The Haltech Interceptor is installed using a universal type wiring loom and tuning is performed on a laptop with user friendly Interceptor software for Windows. As the Haltech Interceptor works with the factory ECU, you need only tune where necessary, maximising power whilst maintaining factory levels of economy, idle quality, cold start etc."


should i just fork over the extramoney and get an e8?

While the interceptor (now called Miniceptor and it comes in a new box) will work just like any other piggyback, it does have the benefit of windows based software with a lot more resolution than your average Apex AFC or SAFC fuel controller, and also giving you the option to control the ignition. But given the fact that these days pretty much any scenario regarding a full EMS install on an RX-7 has been very well documented, and on this forum as well, you will definitely be better off using an E8 which will give you far more and better features than the miniceptor can ever hope to do.

My vote goes to the E8. Even if you're on a budget, the E6X will still be a lot better.

e8 with the plug in harness is a much better choice
