Actually, the RTEK 1.7 is a chip. All you do is send off your ECU and they chip it. The 1.7 actually doesnt require any additional fuel controller for the 720cc secondaries. The only problem is that they only work on 87-88 TII's. They havent come out with a chip for the 89-91 yet, and i dont think that they are going to any time soon. Rtek also has a version 2.0 that should be coming out pretty soon. It has datalogging capabilities, and fuel and timing correction capabilities. It also has three fuel injector settings, 520/520, 520/720, or 720/720. But unless you are getting an S4 then your are out of luck on that.

Yep, out of luck. Back to the original idea, eh? Greddy 720cc's with 10ohm 10watt resistors would drop right in, correct? That, and the S-AFC, I shouldn't have any problems with just an upgraded intake/exuast.

You can go with either the rtek or the safc, or both at the same time. The rtek is not required, but is very nice to have. Just make sure that you have an fcd, that is one of the advantages to haveing an rtek, it has one built in. Safc and 720/680 secondaries are a MUST if you are running more then stock boost with open exhaust. And yes you will need two 10watt 10ohm resisters. You can find them at any radioshack. You will also need to find two new injector clips, they are differnt. I had some luck finding some at my local parts store. Tell them that you need new injector pigtails for an 87 TII.

Was nice knowing it was up top with all the people we have using it for things other than meets but then again both aspects will keep it near the top at least. And I had to search to find out what HSV was!!!

Dunno about those areas but we meet every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month at Char Grille on Strickland Rd in Raleigh around 6:30. So it looks like next Saturday night we get to meet and greet, eat and speak, chew and chaw or what ever it is we do....

Sounds good I think i should be able to make it next weekend. Kind of looking forward to meeting any new rotary heads or just car fanatics.

If anyone is interested in renting a good fender roller let me know. My roomate has one that he is interested in renting out to local people. I think it will be around $40 or $50 per rental. That means one person. I dont know if will want a deposit. He might but im sure it wont be a huge amount and it will of course be refundable. Here is a link to the fender roller he has.

Woah! Josh, use the force. Wait and look at your car in the updated GRRNC 2005 section which should be finished uploading in about 5 mins. There is one pic where that car just looks beautiful.

Johny, was good to see you again today man. It was fun.


Pics from GRRNC 2005 are now on the site!

i know i know. this should be an improvement even on what i have now. it would probably mean the FD dissappearing a few months this winter. only to be reborn in the spring AGAIN.

no it is the other way around. drivetrain is staying, body is leaving. do you think it could go for $6000? the paint isnt perfect, and neither is the interior, but i think it is in damned good shape 96K on the body.

you are transplanting a v8 into your 10AE body.

i would be transplanting my existing rotary engine into a new FD body.

lets just say i have a lineup on a show quality, low mileage FD chassis, in the rarest color of all, and i am trying to work out the numbers.
