Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

Heard of people using it, but only on serious high-dollar drag cars. It looks sweet, but is pricey and seems like way overkill on a stock v6.

Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

wow thats exspensive as hell and really not anything special except for the fact it may plug into the stock harness

for around 300 bucks u could just do a megasquirt,or u could just get all the stuff u need to burn chips for the ecm u have now

Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

i was just asking because my local speed shop dont have any experience with the megasqurit system. they use the other all the time. and can u use the megasqurit while the engine is running to tune?

Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

megasquirt has all the features of that haltech and alot more.

yes megasquirt is real time tuneable

u can pick up a complete ms1 system with a harness for 311$'s from diy autotune

12x12 fuel and ign maps dual tables nitrous injection and just all sorts of features are built into it

Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

if u run it piggy back (fuel control only) u will need an extra air temp sensor and coolant temp sensor.

if u do full ignition and fuel control u do not need to buy and extra sensors

Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

so all i will need is the ms1 wire harness system to run the fuel and ignition and the turbo stuff? does it plug into the old harness then into the ms1?

Re: 3.1 haltech gmx ecu?

no when u buy the harness it plugs into the ms1, then it runs out under the hood and u have to solder the connections, basically u cut the stock harnes and take it out and solder on the conectors onto the ms harness.

its really easy to do
