Considering a Haltech Unit...

[KillerCam282]

Its freakin awesome. It can run anything. Which means when I sell my car, I can remove it and save it for another setup...as opposed to the AEM which only works with Hondas...And I doubt I will get another Honda. I figure I can keep all the accessories and sell the unit + the software.

I am considering a Haltech E6. Here are the specs.

The HALTECH E6X is a powerful “real-time”
programmable fuel injection and ignition computer designed
to control most ignition type engines. Whether 1-6, 8, 10 or
12 cylinders, 1-2 rotors, naturally aspirated, turbocharged or
supercharged, the HALTECH E6X can control it.

E6X Series Fuel & Ignition Control System
PWM outputs are as follows:
*electronic boost control *thermofan *anti-lag *VTEC
*engine control relay *NOS enable *BAC valve *shiftlight
*intercooler fan *turbo timer *stall saver *air con
*aux. fuel pump *staging signal *dual intake valve
*torque convertor
(not all functions are available at the same time)
The E6X is much more than a programmable fuel injection
computer - it provides logging of engine data and allows
access in real time to maximise performance and trouble-shoot
problems in a vehicle while running.

box can be added for more injector outputs. The E6X System
optimizes engine performance by giving full control over fuel,
ignition and auxiliary outputs.
Typical Applications:
Conversion from carburetion to fuel injection
Control of fuel injection on modified engines
Race and rally applications of all descriptions
Design and development purposes
Educational use by universities and colleges
Original equipment in cars and motorcycles.
The HALTECH E6X is easily programmed with an IBM
compatible laptop. Our patented system allows the user to
alter fuel and ignition timing at a particular load point by
changing the height of the column in a bar graph.

Thats some list...and thats only the entry level ECU. The E11v2 is nasty. That could prolly run a car by remote control...

Not even people who do chipped ECU's got anything to say about this... . Eh, I think I am gonna be getting a Haltech.

haltech is pretty hardcore...you'd probably be better off with the AEM EMS due to the plug-n-play nature, Haltech is anything but plug-n-play...good luck though.

haltech isnt really that hard to install in your car. i put an e6k into a series 5 rx7 turbo II engine. the hardest part is ignition maps and fuel maps. i want one for my car as well but without those im a bit nervous. if you could get those maps then it should take you a weekend with soldering and mounting.

p.s. there is a haltech distributor in texas and they can give you some more technical info.

damn, sounds like this chit is tight. but whats the price?

quick 2 min search on google yielded me prices as low as $1165 for the base kit without accessories, which can all be purchased separately.

I was originally looking into the AEM EMS, but i have heard that its not really all its amped up to be, plus like you stated Acclispe, its not so universal even if you get the universal model.... i have heard of and seen Haltech bein used on motors over the entire spectrum from top fuel dragsters to funny cars with 1600hp V8's to heavily modded 4 bangers.... i think they have deff. proven thier point on a tunability and reliability level... i might consider the Haltech now instead of that EMS cause i have read that its fairly simple to tune as well....

I'd love to have one myself but i wouldn't have a use for it with even the last stage of my setup

I have and soon, had that already. Its nice but some of my family members tell me the Haltech simply pwns your setup. So I would love to try this myself. I have plenty use for this. My stage 2 build is crazy looking especially since I plan on fabbing up an ITB setup.

The AEM is very user friendly. It has plenty of things that automatically adjust the maps for you, based on your input.
