Haltech Aftermarket ECU's

[Dan355]

No this can be done it MS Dos based only. This is the reason why they released the E6GMX as it far more user friendly.

As for an advantage, yes if tuned correctly. The biggest advantage with aftermarket ECU's, is ignition charge time which cant be touched when tuning the factory ECU.

Cheers mate see you soon.

what computer would you recommend for a vr ute 355 stroker with supercharger (10psi now will be 20psi when run in) It is a street registered drag car and will remain street driven. I also want the option to run NOS later on.

What is wrong with having say a street and race tune street would be just a safe tune tuned to about 400hp on Preimum fuel and race tune it to run av-gas and open it right up. I like this idear because it means i wont need to carry a 44 of av gas when i go for a cruize.

If the tune is right, u wont need different tunes, unless running different octane fuels.

Forget avgas, that went out years ago, C16 is the fuel to run, if running as a drag car, or simply leave as pump fuel.

If you would like to data log by the flick of the switch, suggest in going a E11V2 or just stay with the Haltech E6GMX

what sort of aftermarket haltech ecu should i use to run efi in my 202, i know, dont tell me its a stupid idea everyone has already told me that, just wondering cos i will need a kit that comes with all the sensors and stuff and full loom, i was thinking the e6x or something, but wanted to get an expert opinion, thanks

E6X would be the best suited for your application, another modification that i do on Holden 6's is convert the distributor into a pickup only, and run V6 commodore coil pack with power transistors, this will ensure high spark output per spark plug, alot better than the original VK electronic distribtor setup, or crane setup.

[potshots007]

ahuh, thats what i have been wondering, how to run that, might be somethign for me to think about, how hard is that to do? i have a complete vn wiring loom, coil pack and everything, be good to find out, thanks heaps

HALTECH Disappointing Service

They were finishing some tunning when the computer goes into 'boot' mode and couldn't do anything with it.

So it gets shipped off express post to Syd and they look at say yeah it's in boot mode...... we'll test and send back.

After nearly a week we ring to ask where it is to the reply 'oh yeah, maybe that's what this one sitting on the bench is"!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I still have no computer and wont be running until mid next week at the earliest.

Loosers.

Mate, i dont understand why youve posted this rubbish in my forum area, i have nothing to do with the problems you are having, thats between you and your tuner, or dealer.

So in your opinion Haltech Sucks, thats your decision, or are you just having a whinge at there after sales service, either way post that in another area, not mine.

[ChargedAuto]

Yeah, it was just a vent at after sales service etc, I work in an electronics type industry as well and service like that is rather poor.

The thread topic was Haltech Aftermarket ECU's so it was relative to that, not to your specific area.

I will still be using the Haltech and I hope it performs better for the future. It was not a fault of the tuner and wouldn't matter who was installing it.

It may have been slightly strong worded, but was probably not meant to come accross quite as it seemed. I have been trying to justify my choice in Haltech to many people since the purchase and having these sorts of issues starts me wondering if I did make the wrong choice.

I will edit.

hey mate quick question what are your thoughts on the motec m800, e11v2 and the autronic sm4?

[enhancedss]

Trav,

they are all as good as each other, i think personally it depends on what the user feels most comfortable with. I speak to many that say Autronic is the best and Haltech are crap, but these guys dont seem to tune Haltech's at all. So once again its user's preferences........

In Shauns Methanol drag car we are running a E11v2, and its been great so i will continue to use them.

cheers mate.

hey mate, what would you recommend for a 308 blue motor, would it be possible to run the original dizzy and just remove the carby and run a fuel only ecu for the injectors? its jsut a worked 308, but want to run fuel injection what you reckon?

chers, nick

A fuel only computer would be the best, or for a little more stuffing around, a injected 5.0L system would be the best option.

[potshots007]

yeah thought it would be better to run 5l injected stuff, like VN heads and stuff, but just checking what other options ive got, thanks mate

Bit of a thread dig, but I have a question.

I have a VC running a VT 5.0L auto with a E6GMX Haltech, what I need is the programming cable. Are these available to buy or can one be made from a 9 pin serial cable? Got the software but can't use it at the moment.

Not sure about this one.....would have to ask Brad about it.....I'll get back to you about it!

Hi i have a VZ SV6 with just a simple exhaust and headers , would there be much of a gain on near stock engine using VCM suite ?

Cheers

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I have been on the Haltech forums and I have found so far that it should just use the 9 pin serial cable, I found a picture of the wiring loom for the E6GM and it had the cable coming out of the main loom. Mine doesn't have this. All it has is a rectangle plug on the other end of the E6GMX with 12 pins. 3 of which are earths and one isn't used so that would be 9 active pins.

[VYFORI]

With a ECU available on the market to suit your application and vehicle type, here are the most common ECU's fitted to VL-VZ commodores. VT/VZ Manual Only
E6GMX suggested for application fitted and tuned from $1700 Driveaway.

I own a VY 03 V6 manual UTE will this fit my application....

RIK...

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

OK, do you sell the patch cable for the Haltech?

Not a large gain netted, you will need to have an exhaust system and air intake to see a better gain.

3 options you have, a full wire in ECU (E6X)(E8)
rewire the connectors and add a map sensor and you can run a E6GMX
or you can wire a piggy back interceptor (this is the cheapest option)

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Do you guys stock the 39596 programming cable for the E6GMX?
