I just downloaded the demo software that haltech offers on there website. I'm just trying to get fimiliar with how the program works, where everything is, etc...and let me just say.. WOW! I love how this setup looks and I can't wait to get it in my car! I love the way you have control over everything with the push of the button...not getting enough fuel? Just push the up arrow key in the specified RPM range and bam...its corrected...this is badass https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Much better than stock, eh?

I can't believe I've gone this long with the stock ECU! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



In all reality, I should have gone Haltech while doing the original conversion. I wouldn't have had to change ANY of my interior wiring and it would have safed some headache, I don't really know why I didn't think about going Haltech. Oh well.

Give me the link....?

good lord I want one of those

it will give me an excuse to have a laptop in my car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Exactly, i wish i knew then what i know now. It would been a different story when i did the swap also.

We live and learn I guess https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I just wish they would get their HALWIN software done.



And.. They need to make their software OPEN SOURCE... so others can write it.



I would love to see a WindowsCE version (you know the pocket PC). The Software works on a Pocket PC with POCKETDOS, but since it is DOS based, it's not fun getting into the menus (As it's not point and click, You have to do ALT KEYBOARD CODES).

I've got a PalmPC, but it doesn't have PocketDOS...damn <_<

I like having my 89-91 gauges, etc. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

What gauges would you lose going to a Haltech.



I've got a PocketPC also, PocketDos is like $40 from http://www.pocketdos.com/

I've got the Haltech Software on it but haven't actually connected it to my Haltech, As I said it would be a Bi*ch to do the ALT KEYSTROKES for the menus.

You don't loose any guages, I was referring to how I had to change my guages to '89+ to do my conversion..and I wouldn't have had to if I'd gone haltech in the first place.

In a 2nd gen the only gauge on the engine harness is the water temperature gauge. You can just keep that 1 wire and ditch the rest of the harness.

I know what you mean know. Well you could of used your s4 gauges with the stock harness you had to switch the pins on the plugs at the board on the gauges. I have s5 gauge on my s4 harness. Every day i learn more and more.

what the crap. i dont think i would ever be able to use that thing. So what exactly do you do with that program do you just connect it directly to your ecu?

The program is DOS based, so for those of you who were spoiled and never had to deal w/ bad graphics and slow processing, then no..the system probably looks like junk, lol. No offense. However, to somebody like me who spent my early teenage years programming in BASIC and using outdated UNIX systems..that program is really great. They are making a new version of software to run w/ windows though...so we'll wait and see it..



..yes, you can run offline or online. If you run offline, you can adjust the maps, etc and save them, then go out to your car and plug it into the Haltech ECU and upload the new maps...if you work online in REALTIME you can adjust everything as you drive. This requires a laptop to be in the car while you are tuning though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

thats tight i like the program its not bad for dos based. I need one of those. Maybe i should wait for the conversion. I know i will just find a tII with a haltech on it already for my conversion.

a blown T2 w/ haltech for sale.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



I need to find me one of those...the haltech alone would make the car sell for $1000 more then its worth, lol..
