Having more of a read of that Haltech, it would be a real nice piece of kit for a race car, but the fact it wont run a standard throttle body and isnt exactly cheap may put some off aye?? be a good thing to set up on a full on Barra though, plenty of scope to tune it, and being haltech, reasonably easy I suspect

[JETURBO]

yeh not brand loyal at all either it was just funny as I was shaving this convo with spiro ( dragons lair motorsport) and his own ba runs the motec due to such features the haltech does not have yet mind u his build is insane and should top 2000hp out of the barra ( I believe this to be the goal) and when we spoke about selection of ecu's for the falcon only the latest motec had such features to date

yeh a drag runner wouldnt need the bcm in most cases but spiro him self has the most done out ba drag car ive seen and he still runs the bcm to he can have such std items still running behind the sceens and one other thing the motec was especially good with fly by wire control for the throttle apparently no other aftermarket ecu has this yet !

yep martin donnon the king dingaling of the automotive world he is the bloke to have this ecu installed and tuned like a dream on there own test r35 right here in s.a , but willall racing has a very good rep and has flown many flags in the car scene from along time ago records many would take double the time to achieve here check this out for features

Some of the Syvecs engine management log data to go through after the weekend.....going to take me some time, however its so elegant, no pressing start/stop or having a hand controller in the car, just plug in the Ethernet cable and download at your leisure

Intresting, cos taken from his site about the haltech:

What it will do;

• Succesfully run your existing dash, aircon, audio, and gauges
  

In a big HP application Id be ditching the standard throttlebody anyway, Im a simple man, and a well set up cable would suffice on a nice 90mm billet body.

Not to mention, most drag car tuners dont tune using TP sensors anyway, straight of the MAF/MAP , WOT and off ya go!!!

Edit: wonder what the equivalent Motec is worth?

aparently the haltech could be manuiplated to work where as the new motec just has all the features off the bat ( aparently) price wise the haltech was cheaper and spiro said it still was a bloody good unit

[The Jizard]

Yep Marty the man he would get that syvecs running killa, cant wait to see his 35 run a nine like its nobodies business

Speaking of lala, anyone here attend drive days? I'm keen to try a few laps and see how I go. It's been a while since I've been around mallala.

Not interested in the drift scene, just a casual car day...if such a day exists?

[Panda Eyes]

I think they do track days every now and then...

maybe go to the mallala website to check event lists?

[Ale]

yep, open track days once a month, usually divided into sessions with 2 main groups, guys with CAMS licence, and ones that get day licences.

Around$150 to do it and great fun. You get around 4 or 5 x15 min sessions. It may not sound like much, but that's potentially 1hr of flat out driving.

I've done it once, quickly find the limits of your car and personall abilites that's for sure. Keen to go again.

Martin Donon: well aware that hed be the guy having a play with those top end GTR ecu's,he is a very lucky guy to have rich and trusting close friends that give him those oppurtunities.

Followed his "progress" from the days he ran Fueltronics out of Kentown and used to tune Camira AC delco comupters using Kalmaker software. Used to love his very public "discussions" with Julian Edgar .

I still read his ramblings in various publications, always a intresting read and hes tuned a few of my mates cars along the way.

Havnt done cars if you havnt heard of him to some extent
