gotta love the lego mechanics.Bit hard to give an unbiased opinion on how hard they find the Interceptors to tune as they are pretty much a Haltech shop! Dunno about the boost control as Im not using an Interceptor, we ended up going for the standa alone Sport 1000.yano wrote:On another note, I've been looking into piggy back ecu's for my car and was wondering how easy your tuner found your haltech interceptor to tune? These have built in boost controllers yeh that use the factory solenoid?? Any problems other than the leads?? Just trying to compare these to an apexi power fc (feel free to delete this post if its hijacking)

And thats it! A good tune, wind the boost up a bit (but not too much, maybe 10-15psi) & she'll be hopefully back on the road in about a month.

Sport 1000s have a fantastic review. Smart choice to make the upgrade 
they look sweet, better than the ones I had made, where did you get them from?Bennoz wrote:Haven't had time do much mate, having just moved house, I really haven't had time to scratch myself
Motor is back out, gearbox has been sent away to be fixed, cam gears have arrived thou
Hopefully we'll be able to get her back on the dyno in a week or 2 & get the tune finished.

I don't suppose they would have a blueprint or something of the job would they? If they do what are the chances of getting a copy (for a cost). I can't find any here...Bennoz wrote:Had them manufactured by a local engineering shop. They used the exisiting gears to make them from. Can find out the shop name if you need it.
I would be interested in them if it squies out a bit more power on my carFTEvolution wrote:I don't suppose they would have a blueprint or something of the job would they?

Ok good, so you're actually getting progress on this and not just sitting at home in your new house, playing mr network IT guyBennoz wrote:Box will be back in a day or 2, then it all goes back together. Got some you-beaut Bosche ignition system going in, a 2 pin GR alternator to work with the Haltech (didn't like the 4 pin Legnum one) new vernier cam gears are on the exhaust cams, modified waste gates to hold higher boost... and I think thats about it
Yeah, then retune.
