Haltech sport series ECUs are going to support flex fuel

Just saw this posted on the haltech forum. I am so excited. This was just posted today.

The Sport series will have the same adjustability as the Pro series currently have, which means 3D trim tables (RPM vs LOAD) with 2D scalar tables to decide how much of the trim table is used based on fuel composition. Fuel, ignition, and boost can be trimmed with ethanol content.

Test vehicles have shown the flex fuel control to be working perfetly, however our engineers are finalising what other updates are going into v1.12 before we release it. As you can tell this is a significant update for the Sport series of ECUs and there is more being added besides the flex fuel. All I can say is to stay tuned and keep on eye on the website.

Been in the works for a LONGGGGGGG time. Like the fact that they're going to directly support the flex fuel sensor without the need for an A/D converter. If you want to see how the control structure will work, load a Pro map and play with the features. Very detailed mapping options.

There is also going to be some other nice things coming down the line for the Sport. Stay tuned!

The software was released to the dealers for final testing this week. It's a final version and ready to roll. Should be in full release in a week or so.

That describes how I feel.


Chris, How is the new release? Are there as many new features as originally promised?

No features that pertain to us. There is a CAN based O2 sensor on the way. The new software supports that. Also, support for a CDI that will run on a multiplexer. So you could run an 8-channel CDI on a single output. Other than that, not nearly what I had hoped for. But we did get flex fuel. Prices from Haltech on the sensor aren't too bad either. I haven't been able to find the actual sensor OE part number yet, to try to find a less expensive source.

That CAN o2 sensor sounds like a good idea.

I remember complaining to myself about having to wire in the Haltech controller. A CAN controled one would have been much easier.

Is there knock ignition retard?

No. No knock support for the Sport series. You could still use something like the Phormula sensor/amp that has a 5V output wired to an AVI setup for ignition trim. The issue with the Phormula though is that it's knock window frequency can't be centered on the frequency the rotary makes. Any knock detector that doesn't include windowing isn't going to be worth the trouble IMO. The system needs to be able to know the difference between knock and noise.

I guess Haltech lied when they said that the new update will include all of the features of the pro ECU and more.

Oh well. E-85 wont knock.
