Ok, I'm work and bored, as usual, so I'm looking at options for an ECU for when I put the new motor in the SE-X. I'm looking at Haltech, GReddy "E"manage, and APEXi powerFC....which one would you all recommend for a street/drag car w/ roughly 400 to 500 HP? Any other ECU I should look into?

The Greddy isn't a standalone, and the PFC is only available for FD's in the U.S. Both the Haltech and Wolf work with the stock ignition. The Electromotive TEC 3 is good, but it requires more custom work, and it costs alot more.

I was gonna ask you where you got the wolf, I just wanted to read a little on it and see what its all about. I thought you could use the PowerFC on the 2nd gens...hmmm maybe the FCon is what i'm thinking of, lol...dunno

Yeah, The F-CON is made by HKS. It's a piggyback system. You can get information on the Wolf 3D V3 at http://www.wolfems.com/Products/EMS/Wolf_3...3D/wolf_3d.html . Information on the Wolf 3D V4 is at http://www.wolfems.com.au/wolf_3d_page.html . I may get rid of my Wolf 3D V3 if I wind up going with a 20B because it won't do a trailing split on a 3 rotor. :(

I think I'll just go Haltech...just gotta decide on what kind and learn more about it, lol...

I just read the HITMAN site on haltechs installation...considering I'm a Cisco certified networker and have good wiring skills...I feel I should be able to accomplish it. I think I'll go w/ the Haltech E6S system....

The E6K is newer and better than the E6S.

I would go with the Haltech. (Money was an issue for me... so I didn't have much choice) but it is a great unit and the support has been AWESOME. Yahoo Groups have a couple of HALTECH Forums, one purely for Haltech Equipped Rotaries.



I would like to see their HALWIN software, which is long overdue. People have loaded DOS on their WINCE devices and run the Haltech Dos on their handhelds. This is fine, but I tried it and not being able to point and click is a pain. It's much easier from a laptop.



My motor fired up the first time (well after I switched my fuel lines around, I got them backwards).

What did you wind up doing with those new injectors?

Rotaryman88 06-19-2002 07:13 PM

That's my other question...I'm gonna need a laptop for the Haltech aren't I? What kind of operating system does it use? DOS? that's scary, lol...what are my options as far as tuning the haltech on a laptop...can I use something like a desktop maybe?
