I am definitely up for one of these ECUs. The possibilities are almost endless compared to the stock ECU. The ability to add fuel/oil pressure sensor/wideband o2 sensor to protect your engine which you just spent $10k on is priceless. Going into limp mode when the ECU detects lean outs, automatic tuning based on long term fuel trim and applying those self learned maps to the base tune. Rally anti lag to stay on boost between gears, flat shifting, traction control that actually works and is adjustable to infinity settings AND have a switch/rotary dial to select different traction control/boost levels/redline/anti lag/rally anti lag etc. That stuff is native on million dollar supercars and you get it all in a plug and play kit. Best thing is you can bring it home connect your laptop and play around with the extra features like engine protection, adding sensors etc and not have to be an expert tuner. Per gear boost control and have that setup on a rotary dial. Leave the tunnig to the tuner and you learn and do the rest. All the things you wish your stock ECU does, it does,....except for ZF, but I have a manual so don't care I am just looking for the right tuner to tune it. There is no point buying one if you are going to use it like a stock ECU. The advanced features is where this the aftermarket ECUs shine. My setup is going to have a flex fuel sensor, no need to change tunes at the servo. Traction control on a rotary dial so I can select the amount of slip allowed from front to rear wheels. Each position on the rotary dial will allow more slip and the last position will be off. Combination rotary dial settings, traction control/per gear boost/rally anti lag. This will let me have full aggressive settings for play time and more relaxed settings for relax time. Engine protection using wideband, fuel pressure sensor, oil pressure sensor/knock. Limp mode for mild problems and shutdown for catastrophic problems. Having a 600kw rear wheel drive street car and have a traction control system that will actually work and let you put power down without having to run 15 inch drag tyres. I am soooo excited about this product, but it will take some homework about what you want it to do and how you want it to work. It's not like the stock ECU where you get an engine map and that's that. You need to be properly involved with the tuner and the product to make it worth while. https://www.haltech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/HAL_FeatureSheet_Elite2500-final.pdf

Thanks guys for putting my mind at ease. I didn't want to look like a fool asking my mechanic another stupid question.

well, all good things come to an ends, and in this case, my 11yr old turbocharger spooled its last spool... fluttered its last flutter.. this was a result of my turbosmart blow off valve failing. the compressor flutter was getting louder and louder, and the nut off the compressor wheel tried to take a walk. happened 20mtrs from work which prevented catastrophic damage. so a new turbosmart raceport blow off valve is going on, and decided on a half decent sized turbo. the new gen2 7275 cea precision should get me over 900hp at the tyre, but more to the point, 800rwhp on less boost. she's been ordered, arrives early next week

yes it will work in any car someone just buy it

can just imagine you fangin' around perth with the arse-end of a magna floating around roundabouts and bouncing around off the bump stops to keep you floating up and down

Haha, it was such a boat of a car. On a different note - fly-out day today

Tonight was DBA T3 rotors and DBA SP pads all round. Didn't get time to fluid so that'll be another night now. Planning to daily the car for the next two weeks to really bed the pads in and then will take it for a hills run and see what's what :D

Hi mate, I have had@jeturbo as my tuner for the past 2 years now and I would highly recommend him. He's an absolute wizard with the turbo falcon! You will not be disappointed [emoji16][emoji16]

long as you make it work im sure stripes is up for it. somehow drop a barra in there while you're at it

FYI we had discussions with Haltech about offering a cut down version of our product to tune the ZF. If you buy one of these kits and want to tune the ZF we can either put you in touch with someone who can or we can look at offering a ZF only version of PCMTEC. Also for those who were curious we are definitely looking into offering flex fuel on the stock PCM.
