Haltech Why no Haltech Platinum Interceptor
Why no Haltech Platinum Interceptor
Why do I not see more interceptors installed in Rx7's? I have two rx7s.
One stockish 1989 and one 10th AE 1988 with a big turbo. I have went from the E6K, E8 and now to the platinum2000.
I would think it would be the best of both worlds to install the interceptor on top of the stock fuel management and then you still have emissions and stock idle air conditioner etc etc. Seems like a simple plan. Its listed as going on a 1989 probable due to the injector drivers.... If my 10th AE was not controlling aux injection H20 I would probable want to install such an animal.

I agree it would work for certain applications. The unit does work very well, we have installed it on other platforms.
I think there are lots of reasons you don't see it in the RX-7s. Most want to ditch the AFM for one reason or another. Stock wiring, especially in the FCs, is usually in terrible shape to begin with and replacing it with a new, well built harness is an upgrade. And I could see where you would run into trouble running huge injectors on the stock map and trying to scale them with simple offsets.
In the end, if you want simple and inexpensive, you can go the route of something like the Sprint RE. It's priced closely enough to the Interceptor, and you get standalone control. Wire it in parallel with the stock ECU and you can retain idle control and emissions components.
