What is different between the interX and LT10 ?
Are they instal the same way .Splicing in factory loom to get crank angle sensor etc
There is no re-interpreting the factory signal like emanage ?? Is this right ?
If like this does it mean cold start problem ?This is advantage of piggy back .

Int-X is awesome.
Complete plug and play, runs great from the start and gives you all the control you need over the engine. Do a search for Interceptor-X on the site. there is a bunch of info you can find that will answer all your questions.
Good luck.

well the thing is i read that X cant amplify ignition. but the microtech can amplify it. and X can let u still have immobilizer thingy on ur car but i suppose micro cant do that. I do need call micro dealer and get more info bout both of them. the thing is i get home late everyday. cant seem to get the chance to call dealers.

The interceptor is a modified Microtech. A standard Microtech will not work with the RX8. Microtech will not give technical support for the RX8, since their official distributor for RX8 applications is Mazsport.

As for amplifying the ignition, I don't think the stock coil packs will stand up; they barely survive running a stock motor. While I can't imagine why the Interceptor can't be adapted to trigger some kind of MSD box, I suspect that a more popular ignition mod will be upgraded coil packs like Bosch 715.

Actually the Intx does have an integrated ignition amplifier. Also, Microtech does support the Rx8 now, as can be seen on their website, but their unit is not plug-n-play.

where can i get those Bosch 715?

SpyderX,Inc.

also on mazsport website, the video they were showin said that they couldve ran 12 psi but ignition couldnt hold up. does that mean they needed to upgrade their coils or did they amplify their ignition?

rkostolni

The ignition has always been amplified with the Intx, as it is essentially a Microtech. When Mazsport said they need to upgrade the ignition, they mean changing out the coilpacks.

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh. i c now. so now i feel comfortable bout gettin the X.

Did they use the bosch HEC715 .If not , is this coil suitable ?

SpyderX,Inc.

I actually have them on my car. While getting some upgrades done at Mazsport Scott mentioned the stock ignition shortfall. I happened to have a set of HEC715s in my trunk and casually mentioned it to Scott. He just about flipped out and installed them via my Interceptor. I got the impression that these are awesome coils for the rx8, but please keep in mind this was only an emotion felt on the telephone. I don't know ANYTHING about the wiring nor the programming, so send all inquiries to Scott. I've had the coils in the car for 1500 miles, but haven't had a chance to dyno the car yet (I dropped the car off yesterday for that).

Edit: I just googled HEC715 and discovered the reason for Scott's excitement. Seems like these are THE coils to use for Microtech products. Every other search result is related to a Microtech install.

Awesome news !!!!
These coil are pretty cheap too

I used to be a dealer for Microtech and yes the HEC715's are THE coils of choice for the Microtech. There isn't anythingg special about the coils other than you can't get them here in the states unless you import them from Australia or get them second-hand from someone else that did.

The coils are just a High Energy Coil that some Australian domestic GM cars came with from the factory and are readily available in aftermarket parts stores in Australia.

Don't worry about getting hung up on HEC715 - they use them because 1)they work 2)they're cheap 3)you can get them almost anywhere.

almost any high energy single post coil from MSD can be made to work just fine.
