the haltech works with the stock sensors too. the pfc would work, but you need to rewire it and the fc/cosmo cas isn't compatible with the power fc
Would it be worth it to get a new CAS just so I could use the PowerFC?

I thought you said the FC cas wasn't compatible with the PowerFC?



And if I did get a PowerFC for an FC, how will this conflict with sensors?



I really appreciate your help, this is a slow section.

ok the pfc isn't compat. with the 13b-re cosmo. pfc also uses stock sensors I believe. the haltech uses after market sensors. you can use the 13b-re stock cas with the haltech (as far as i know) if not some one let me know. whoops I take it back the pfc is if you rewire it. but right out of the box it isnt. I was considering using it but didn't feel like messing with the wireing. the haltech comes with its own wire loom.

Wiring loom? That sounds like a lot of work, but I guess it doesn't matter what I go with, it's probably going to be a lot of work anyway.

yeah theres no bolt on solution for you



the fd and s5 fc are the same except the fd has more solenoids (for the turbos), slightly different cas signal, and slightly different trailing ignition output (this isnt a problem), and the air temp sensor.



the fd and haltech use the same style air temp sensor, and everything else uses one thats electircally backwards.



everything else is the same, coolant temp, tps, etc

actually the haltech harness is very easy to understand when you see it you can tell what is what when you look at it. and it will work with the cosmo...I got the e6k not long ago and read the book right away..the install instructions are very easy to understand..the cas was difficult at first because I've never woried about it before. but the haltech works with the stock cas from what I understand...Now remember I know a little about reading a wire diagram and what not..I was a little worried about it as well..that and I hate doing wiring but i'm not to concerned after looking over what I got.

That sounds promising.



The only thing I don't like so far is the lack of HalWin software for it, get on the ball Haltech!!



Maybe the will debut it on the e6x...

yes that would make it easier to run. still the dos application isn't very hard to understand. but hell who really wants to use that anyway... I would love it if someone would come up with a commander unit for it like the wolf 3d or the PFC
