Anyone using the Haltech GM Platium sport plug and play? I've been reading about it, remove your stock computer and plug it in, uses factory harness and sensors. You can add on wide band O2 , and lots of other items.
Just wondering if anyone is using it right now? If so Pros and Cons?

Thank You
Derek

Looks like an interesting ECM option, but is expensive:

The Haltech platinum sport GM has many applications on early GM fuel injected vehicles from 1985 through until the mid 1990’s. The sport GM carries the same connector as GM’s popular 1227165 ECU (there are a number of other GM ECU’s that also carry this connector including but not limited to, 1227303, 1227747, 1227752, 1227170, 1228746, 16198259, 16198445, 16087373, 16198259). There may be many further applications of the Sport GM ECU that are not listed below so this list is not to be considered as comprehensive it is merely a guide for reference:

COMPATIBLE VEHICLES:

gm compatibility

Sport GM should plug directly into all of these vehicles and work correctly, it is worth noting that the Haltech Sport GM ECU does not require the cold start injector, canister purge solenoid, EGR valve, SES light, AC pressure switch nor the Mass Airflow Meter to operate. Elimination of these standard GM components makes for a cleaner installation however it may also conflict with local vehicle emissions legislation that require some or all of these parts to be installed.

The Haltech Sport GM ECU is not capable of controlling electronically programmed transmissions such as the 4L60E or the 4L80E, it is however capable of controlling the torque converter lockup on transmissions such as the 700R (later name the 4L60, do not confuse this with the previously mentioned 4L60E, the E at the end designates that the transmission has an electronically controlled shift points – the Haltech Sport GM is not designed to control these electronically controlled transmissions). Transmissions such as the THM400 (Turbo 400) and all manual transmissions require no electronics and are therefore also compatible with the Haltech Sport GM.

Not cheap, but I figure if you take off the cost of getting a couple of custom chips burnt it may not be too bad.

From what I've read, seems would have to replace the MAF on my 1988 TPI l98 350 with a MAP setup.

My car is a 1988 MAF TPI L98 350 and once I finish installing the Dakota Digital VHX dash cluster the Haltech Sport GM is the next upgrade.

Converting from MAF to MAP doesn't worry me, especially if the Haltech auto-tunes.

Another upgrade I'm thinking of is an LS-style coil-per-cylinder setup.

My understanding is that the the Haltech ECM has an optional module to support this, is this correct?

Also, the Dakota Digital VHX digital speed sensor needs to output 2000 PPM for the cruise control and stock 165 ECM. is the VSS 2000 PPM output going to work for the Haltech?

I was gonna go that route(and still might down the road), but from my research I found that finding a tuner that truly knows how to make the most of it is tough. But if you can find someone that is well versed in them it's an awesome system.

Hi "formula350sd",
I know this topic is old for you but I am brand new to the whole aftermarket ECU thing so please bare with me.
I have just purchased Haltech's HT-051100 Platinum Sport Plug-in GM.
In a previous forum of yours I read (05-06-2011) "Re Haltech Sport GM, MAF cars come inside", you mention "Loaded in a base map and the car started up almost instantly".
Currently Haltech do not offer any Chevrolet V8 base maps to load in. Do you know if Chevy V8 maps exist?
It is odd that no GM cars are mentioned in the base maps but Holden, Mitsubishi and others are?
Any help with this base map question or any other advice for this Haltech ECU swap would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
