Haltech?
 

I was wondering, I have a 1999 1.6 . Will the Haltech work on my car? and if so, what are the advantages? I dont know a hell of alot, im trying to learn.....Kaleb

How much is this?, where is it available? plzzzzzz!!..Kaleb

I sell them all day long, visit my website and check out the specials for ECU & EMS.

I was thinking about if this was possible. Have an o2 sensor in each exhaust runner that way you could tune every cylnder for perfect a/f ratio.
Or would this be a waste of time?

This would be helpful for a race engine, but worthless to do on the stock or slightly modified motor. Using the haltech you could tune each individual runner with the fuel trims after you have done the fine tuning on the dyno of the entire mix.

You would also have to use a Wideband o2 and not a normal o2 (narrowband). On a factory car, the cylinders are pretty close to the same since they are running batch fire, and some even multipoint.

Hey Braden! I was wondering something. I was thinking of going with the Haltech when I go turbo but how hard is it to install it? What is involved when installing the Haltech (splicing wires, hard wire to the sensors, etc.). Also, how hard is it to tune? I do have some knowledge and know how but I just wanted to know if I can do everything in my garage. Thanks!

Installation is fairly straightforward if you have had experience with engine wiring diagrams. You can run it in parallel or wire it directly using only the haltech harness. I would estimate installation time to approximately 4-6 hours from scratch.

You will be splicing wires if you go parallel, if not you will be hacking harnesses off your engine loom and using them to wire into the Haltech loom to mate up. The coolant sensor will need to be tapped in, and the air temp sensor threaded into your IC pipe near the throttle body.

Tuning is not difficult at all if you can read bar graphs and have a general understanding of how engines work, what detonation is, and how to watch EGT and A/F Correctly. It's a very good learning experience.

I did my install in the garage, don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Just make sure you have the engine wiring diagrams, the haltech manual, wire strippers, a nice long roll of solder (w/ gun), heat shrink, electrical tape, and tube wrapping.

Quick question that I just thought of a bit ago. Since our speedo/odemeter is tied into the ECU, what will happen when we go to a stand alone?! What do we need to keep the odometer working? I've been told that it all ties into the ECU but I hope that isn't completely correct or we'll have to figure out a way to run the speedo/odometer and the gauges with a stand alone.

I have not hooked one up to the electronic speedo yet. I would assume that the ecu wouldn't control it as if something happened to the ecu and you had to replace it it may wipe out settings.. I know that the speedo can be disabled by unplugging the connector... This will throw a check engine code..

If it is like this.....I would just install the haltech in parallel to maintain those extra functions. Then just pull the CEL from the back of the cluster.
