Okay, I got one off the dreaded eBay for $1500 after running up my phone all day ringing around the country trying to get one. I was spamming the eBay dealer all day with questions and he responded quick and was happy to answer any questions I had and has an excellent rating. See how long it takes to get to me :)

Thanks again guys for helping search thanks to KeyMaker for the PM link :)

No worries Ryan, glad I could help :(

My freind had an experience with the haltec. i thought it was my freinds car, but 2 ECU's died in under 4 weeks. After 3 months, Haltec fixed the problem. However, they did fix it!

What ever you buy, just check out their after sales service. Make sure u read ALL the fine print in the warrentee, and that all your aftermarket parts are supported by the ECU u wish to buy!

ECU options are something else to consider. Cold start, how godd the closed loop control is, traction tontrol, dual maps for Nos .. all that kind of stuff..

does that help?

Haltech E11V2.

More of everything the PFC has. Now comes with an auto tune function.

I got one of these, they work fine but not a lot of tuners in Brissy can tune them. Haltech are always bringing out new software updates which is a pain in the ass to keep up with - would be good if they got it right the first time. If I had my time again I would have gone Motec.

spoke to the Haltec dealer yesterday and he bent over double pissin himself laughing when I asked about the self tuning jobby. Go figure

Of course he would Noel, this "jobby" will put a few tuners' noses out of joint and the Haltech dealers have been trying to downplay the release of said "jobby"

Except the ability to monitor important parameters such as temps and knock and the ability to, on the fly, scale ignition and fueling up or down should you come across crap fuel or be stuck with less than 98 in the middle of the sticks somewhere

I would assume you could in the situation where you get bad fuel hit the self learn mode again to get it to adjust to what you have in the tank...

Yeah that is assuming the self learn mode works...not saying it wont but we dont know anything about it yet

I agree with the lack of a knock sensor input but I'm pretty sure it covers all the other stuff - you can even run 2 different maps if you run different octane fuels.

My thoughts exactly, tuners aren't going to promote something that potentially lessens their own importance.

Computers tuning themselves is definately the way of the future. But having said that I don't know just how good this "auto tune" function could be on this particular ecu.

I think the haltech has many advantages and has to be one of the front runners stil being produced. there is a mod you can do to them which on detection of knock retard the timing, a guy on hte rx7 forums has done this and reported it works well.

It monitors temp etc as you can set when the thermo fans kick in if you so wish and some other extras depending on what you use the car for (ie launch control for all the drag racers outh there).

there are at least 3 tuners i know of in brisbane that can tune haltechs so I don't see there to be a problem finding qualified people to work on them.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
