Ian Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Read your post on the US forum, good praise on the numbers Guessing the haltech will be about £1200ish here + tuning so about £1700?? £80ish per HP? Trying to justify that one in my head! AET turbos were selling the haltech for £988 a few months back. I may have an ecu solution soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to justify that one in my head! It's 34€/hp (a few pints less in the pub thats all ) Well going FI (or the plan is that anyway) so thought I'd go for the correct base. Next car might be GT-R ...and the Haltech by info will work in that one also If you lads want my tuner will have sambos ready for 2009's visit More news to follow... PS. the Plenum Spacer Kit; 22€/Hp... more bang for buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 who supplied the ECU? cost? who tuned it? cost? any problems? how long did it take? does it run well after tuning? i see that Haltech have a few UK distributors - there is one in Kent called Innovate Performance.. anyone heard of them? I see TDI claim some Haltech tuning experience too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 who supplied the ECU? cost? who tuned it? cost? any problems? how long did it take? does it run well after tuning? Who supplied the ECU: http://www.couture-auto.com/ Cost ECU: 1700€ + VAT Who tuned it: http://www.couture-auto.com/ Cost: Tuning: 400€ Problems: NO (that I'm aware off) How long did it take: He had it for 1 day Had the 1st spin in it yesterday, quite wet out so could'nt open her up 100%, the throttle response is COMPLETELY different (I love it) very crisp. Will have more today (looks dry out )... Does feel very different, 265 to 323 is a big jump in numbers... Shame it doesn't take away te JPM restrictor, will have to talk to Haltech about that... My guy in http://www.couture-auto.com/ is Nicolas Lim, top man! On a different note... need new rear tyres now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 thought of another question - did you have the rev limit raised? and another - what other performance mods do you have on the car? (exhaust/plenum/intake/etc)... ? curiosity killed the penguin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(exhaust/plenum/intake/etc)... ? curiosity killed the penguin.. Rev limit lowered; no need to rev it any higher (check out the dyno sheet) Mods: (thought thats under the dyno sheet?! ) Pure Plenum Spacer kit Zees end "pipe" Apexi drop in filter So very little done (so far) any other Q's???

lotuscc Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Great results! XS turbo offer a piggy back system called Utec which is about half the price. Still have to get it set up to your car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to get it set up to your car though. Nice one, actually did look at the UTEC system but didn't feel it would be doing what I want it to be doing. Not sure re the gains on that one either. Quite an ammount of US dudes has the UTEC and it seems good enough, can't comment more rather then on a my350z link there was a lot of guys selling their UTEC in favour of the Haltech I'm not telling everyone to go out and buy one, if you got money to burn why not. Watch this space though, I'll update my feelings and thoughts about how the car is to drive ((that is MORE important then HP figures)). Haltech do do another piggy back solution that is FAR cheaper then this one! (1/2 price) http://www.haltech.com/interceptor.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 anyone had experience with AET turbos and ECU mapping? I am investigating options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 anyone had experience with AET turbos and ECU mapping? I am investigating options Come on spill the beans, what's the plan! Latest on my haltech: Seems to be some issue with low RPM (1000-1800 around there) might be miss-tuned, will know later during the week. Goes outta feck though Keep u's posted...

boomer816 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Im sure AET were quoting the supply of the haltech ecu at under £1000. That wouold be abit more reasonable. I reckon thats the plan....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer816 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 you did pay in Euro's tho, maybe thats the difference, im sure when you add the cost of the tuning its probably much of a muchness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
