Hi Guys, Just looking for some feedback on this. Is the PS2000 with the patch loom kit worth the extra cost over the Pro Plug In? I`m not 100% clear on the differences between the 2. All I see is a different number of I/O, different on board map sensor, and some features such as nitrous switching.

How do these differences translate to the real world for an R32, Rb26, drag and autocross application?

Unless you really want to get into wiring (like I did) get a plug in (has additional outputs/inputs from a separate plug).

Solid ecu, you won't look back.

have pro plug in.

awesome ecu.

has alot of expansion features.

I believe better for the car then the ps2000.

but, if swappin it to another car later, ps2000 is probably a little easier on that front.

The new plug in comes with an extra input via the auxiliary plug, dpi, which is required for flex fuel. Good thing.

There are a few extra avi and outputs via the aux loom without resorting to the I/O expansion box. So basically if your happy to use mostly the standard sensors with a few after thought I/O then plug in will be fine, so afr, run larger map sensor( over 2.5 bar), log external knock box, boost control through the haltech etc. all this is possible throught the plug in, if you are going to step up further with more logging then go the 2000

Dont buy a haltech! Look at the failure rates/issues on here lately. . Be crazy to buy 1! I can show you a viseo that will also change your mind ;)

Really? In interested to know more, I own one and it seems great, a mate has the ps2000, that seems like a good thing also.

If you were choosing your ecu, talk to who will tune the car for you, they will have a preference.

wouldn't happen to be a cetain1/2 jz in a BMW ur referring too?? haha

Haltech are a big company with 28 people employed doing nothing but improving their existing products and coming up with new ones. If there is an issue with their ECU's, they will help get it sorted.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
