I'll just be over here with my shitbox that currently runs a Nistune and my new engine which will just be a Haltech because that's what my tuner uses.

Had no issues with the old plug and play in the 34, but wasn't exactly doing anything wild with it. 

The I/O expander and WB1 boxes all just sat out of way underthe dash, never gave it any thought.

Come to think of it, in all the forums and groups I'm in, only SAU seems to hate Haltech, but I that might be more that I'm in all the pleb groups and not ballers ones lol

 

well, if your preference is to have to buy all the hardware, whether you use the features or not, Haltech have that now too: https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-195000-nexus-r5-vcu/

And they've done some smart product development lately with the new CAN dashes and button setups

But I reckon horses for courses. Almost every car doesn't use more than the basic ECU features so just use whatever your tuner prefers in your budget. I've got Link in the stagea, Haltech in the GTR, Uprev in the Titan and no ECU at all in the patrol :p, they all do what they need to.

R32-25t, and pay mega dollars for all the software for motec for one car! Emtron has all the nasa in the one box no software add ons needed. It’s a one stop shop ECU 

I thought you were a don!!! a don wouldn’t care about the money a MoTeC costs they’d just spec everything into it and hand them a blank cheque

Haltech Platinum Pro, sure it might need all these boxes but it's solid
Haltech Elite Series, no need for a bunch of boxes - also coming soon canbus keypad integration

Cars forgetting tunes? more like tuners clicking on the wrong file and uploading an empty tune.

I've tuned probably more cars than all of you guys put together have tuned, so I speak from experience.

Only excuse for forgetting tunes are the old Adaptronic Selects, I literally had to carry a laptop in the car because on the odd day it would just corrupt itself and add in random values into the crank prime field (known bug).

Oh yeah, and even though people have Emtron and their tuners use Emtron, I'll be surprised if many even use the fuel modelling. Most still tune in VE because of time/customer's budget.

dropped by insight tonight the car is up and running. It literally is off it’s head, volume is akin to a MIG fighter jet It is the best sounding SR I’ve ever heard, my whole body was shaken from what sounds like a JUDD V8 w/ 320 degree cams. It’s on the dyno tomorrow Scott is going to wind it up his confidence in my physics has gained traction. It’s a special head that’s for sure, one of one

I'm quite fond of you Johnny but I just can't support haltech...shall I post the evidence of you losing your I/O mappings , of course you only spoke about that before haltech formed an alliance with you....

I have alllllllll the evidence LOL #pwned.

i think the removal of the squish pads really adds to the aggression of the sound....

i mean, we are talking soundwaves here and my soundwaves operate from a perfect hemisphere......yep, you got it, no squish pads to disrupt the exhaust gas catapulating into the manifolds. JUN really was onto something back in the 90's....

Is the head so special it will hold the bottom end together? 
 

Hope you don’t run out of fuel

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
