Plug And Play Haltech Ps 2000

[MJTru]

I was woundering if the Haltech Ps2000 is werth the price as an ecu upgrade,? Has anyone used it?

I'm using the power fc at 25psi with a z32 mass air flow, AMS (GT950R). I'm thinking of getting the ps2000 and getting rid of the restictive mass air flow. I want to try running 30psi, and i'm flat lining the power fc at 25psi. Plus is there anyother features that can put the pfc in the dust. Well what i'm trying to say is will it be worth the upgrade. I've heard that the fc is real an old item.

Thanks mates.

nice ecu, we used one to make some real nice HP and they generally drive great.

flat lining on the AFM is the same as running a map sensor

once you reach target boost the load cells do not increase anymore so you run along the same load axis

so essentially you can pretend you have a map sensor and tune away with no change

Paulr33, I know that you’re an evangelist of the pfc, but I’m shore that there are other benefits to running a newer ecu. Flat linning the pfc makes it difficult for me to tune. When I reach the close to the flat lining mark, the check engine light flashes, and I can feel the power drop off. I know there isn’t much I can tell you to make you move change your mind about the pfc. The newer stuff has to have some more benefits that the older pfc. One that I herd about is. The self tuning of air fuel ratio’s with the haltech. I have a had time tuning the pfc for constant af’s at different load points. The easiest to tune is the Max load points. Also looking at the software for the haltech seems more practical and user friendly.

I do appreciate all your inputs, as I’ve learnt the most from this site, so please expand my vision in this endeavor.

but it gets real sketchy, afrs are all over the place as you need to tune for the peak load/ rpm afr's.... really not a good idea.

Ie if it max'd out @ 10 psi and your running 16 psi then the tune when running or passing through everything from 10psi to 15psi will have the same fuel and ignition figures as it would @ 16 psi.... not nice, it will be mego rich and mega retarded at anything below 16 psi.....

I agree with this, as I only make sense. If that was the case, then no one would need to upgrade there ecu’s. There would be no need for larger mass air flow sensors. Most could have just tuned the ecu’s for the same size maf.

Also I like that you can get rid of all the pipes that are integrated in the maf system. IE map set up.

I’m surprised, that I can find anyone that used the ps2000 on this site. As it stands I’m getting one next week with the 5 bar map sensor, and a boost controller kit.

More help on this matter please

Thanks mate

send me an email if you like, id be happy to discuss it.

last one we tuned was last week in a std engined 470rwkw cressida on e85.

I'm in the same boat mate, I have a powerfc and Q45 and I am maxing the AFM. Hits the bottom row and stays there, lights are flashing like a disco on the dash, and power is all over the shop.

I am going to install a Vipec, and I think that you should look at the Vipec V88. They are PACKED with features, like all sorts of inputs and outputs, launch control, limiters, antilag, engine protections, multiple maps, etc etc. There is a massive list.

These things are so easy to use too.

Yah mate I will look into it it's a good thing I haven't spent the money yet lol I was planing on get the haltech, but about 2 years ago I red some things about the v88 sounds like this ecu is what I'm looking for. I'll do my research. I would really like for more people to give me there inputs on this topic. I'm shore there are guy's that have reached these power levels and not just us. The power fc is out dated and that's a fact. It's time for a change. V88 from what I've red is the best for a all round use. Can you recommend a dealer that sells these units.? What about the cost any idea? Well thanks alot mate. I'll let you know what I find. Ca

We ripped out a Microtech and chucked one of these Haltechs in, perfect couldn't ask for better... unless it was a Motec
