So who's played with Haltechs?

[limbo]

Yeah he did my tune also, great guy and decent priced.
Doesn't mess you around

Hey norbie,

I have some experience with Haltech's, having a very old E6R in my RX7. If you want some help, or info, email me:

Talk to you then,

Cheers Nilezy

[Norbie]

Thanks Nilezy, I'll be sure to drop you a line if I get stuck.

Now you have the joyful task of sorting out that MASSIVE flying loom

[The Witzl]

*the witzl prepares for orange eyesore birdsnest of doom wiring*

[takai]

Its ok, its not all orange.

[Ben Wilson]

Hmm - Birdsnest of doom, sounds like my boot

[Norbie]

The wiring couldn't possibly wind up any worse than what the car has now. Imagine Norbie circa 1998 with a hacked 18R-GEU loom, no wiring diagram, no previous experience with EFI, and only green and black wire at his disposal. The results aren't pretty but it works (somehow).

I got a full-length loom from Hitman and it includes the fuse block and relays, and I downloaded a wiring diagram from Haltech's web site which looks straightforward enough, so I don't anticipate any problems with this side of things. Worst case scenario, I'll ship Witzl up here and feed him beer until it's done.

[The Witzl]

.... budget two weeks.....

[takai]

Two weeks? Thats a bit short, i would say budget heaps more if you are going to do it properly. My custom loom for the Haltech took me about 3 weeks to do fully. But then again i guess part of that was rewiring 90% of the car.

[The Witzl]

i meant he should budget two weeks time for the "ship witzl here and feed him beer until its done" option....

.... rewiring the whole car aint that hard, its only a damn RA23!

[takai]

Ah ok, the shipping takes that long?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

It has to go through quarantine

[3t-RA40]

I got home today and there was a box full of Haltech goodness waiting for me. And guess who has a 4-day weekend coming up? I'm excited!!

Mad props to Hitman, he's been very helpful and delivery was prompt, much recommended!

So, how did the wiring go?
Did you end up going direct fire/multi coil?
Sequential injection?
Cheers,
Neil.

[Norbie]

Yeah, about that wiring... I'll get started tomorrow.

The Haltech is getting hooked up to a basically standard 18R-GEU for the time being, so I'm not doing anything fancy - it will be single coil with a distributor and batch-fire injection. Once the uber tractor engine is built I'll upgrade to multi coil and sequential injection, but that's not really necessary just yet.
