Well it all comes down to how many extra/unusual things you want to do.  The ECU, any ECU, only has so many pins available for direct connection stuff.  So if you want to have 2x O2 sensors and multiple this and some of that and PID control of a cam position or two, you will at some point have to shunt some of it off to other interface boxes and connect that via serial comms.  If you only want to do one of those things, then, yeah, straight off the ECU shouldn't be a problem.

Bout time their premium ecu done something that didn't require another additional cost or box to mount and wire up! 

 

Correct me if im wrong but even the plug and play haltech for GTR requires an add on box for factory oxygen sensors? 

Yes you’re wrong, an additional box isnt required to run any factory sensor. An extra box is required to run a wide band though

To add to that - this thread goes back years when someone got Vcam working on a Link without using any extra hardware, the Emtron isn't doing anything new here.  Links have been doing this kind of cam control - including on Vcam since the G4 series came out.

I have an elite in my car and the only additional box I have is the wide band, I also have flex fuel, vcam and crank trigger running through the the elite with plenty of extra spare inputs and outputs

Not to mention you can actually can run a wideband such as an Innovate or AEM or PLX, etc.. and ditch the Haltech wideband box.

It's the misinformation and the uninformed that keep saying Haltech is shit or it needs all these boxes, etc.

Yes the Haltech Platinum Pro may have needed a box if you needed more inputs - however most didn't realise you could get away with just the auxiliary harness and skip the I/O box. Also yes Haltech E6X and E8X were hated upon many tuners, but that was over a decade ago - Haltech has come a very long way since then so tuners who tell customer they charge a Haltech tax should really be reassessing what they're saying.

The Elite series addresses all the short comings the older generations of the Haltechs had. Not to mention their tuning SW GUI is very intuitive and easy on the eyes. FWIW, I don't even own a Haltech myself, I just install/tune them on mate's car.

I had the 2500 Elite Pro to run the Vcam , to replace the Haltech R34GTR Platinum Pro as  would not do the what I was going to do with my car without add ons , sold them and put the Emtron KV8 in. :)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
