I think it's an excellent move. Keen to see how you tackle integration with the stock system. I got very excited about the proefi units as they do plug and play blackoak and Spanishoak pcm's for the us market but unfortunately they won't talk to the ford aus bem/security protocols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetly one of the top most user friendly Ecu software on the market.Did you buy a dash aswell? The dash software is the opposite to the haltech it's a pain in the ass to use haha Edited 23/10/15 09:59 PM by eff xr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,279 Member For: 16y 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/10/15 10:45 PM Share Posted 23/10/15 10:45 PM aftermarket ECU's might be "easy to tune" but are difficult to integrate with the stock system on modern Falcon's. Testament to this fact is the huge percentage of unsuccessful attempts at such a feat.But if you're willing to put in the time and effort, I'm sure you'll be successful good luck.

So, I should be ok there.. Quote The elite is a very good ecu base that can be set to do anything and is proving to be a popular choice That being said did you look at the motec M1 ? To be honest, I didn't even look at the Motec at all. I haven't heard of one being use in a Falcon and as I have already blown the budget way out, I cannot afford to be to be the pioneer.

I'm still looking into EGT's and I would really appreciate advice on the subject..

I'm starting to research EGT's that are used in extreme conditions.

eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 10y 6m 17d Posted 23/10/15 11:20 PM Share Posted 23/10/15 11:20 PM The haltech setups I've tuned don't have Egts on them ATM but we are changing to it when the new motor goes in. Did you go the can wideband controller? They have the ability of WOT lambda corrections don't they?Did you buy the expensive as f@ck pressure sensors off haltech? Instead of buying multiple sensor from haltech we just bought one sensor then my mate got some CAT truck sensors and I just pressure vs voltage matched them made it a lot cheaper when the sensors are $250 a pop.

They are very well priced and come with all the scaling information. I went with the: HT059976 WBC1 - Single Channel CAN O2 Wideband Controller Kit. Btw, Haltech has a special running this month, where you get a free CAN module with the dash. Displayed, is a water temp sensor.

I was just comparing a $100 sensor I ordered off eBay lasting 5 years pre turbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
