questions about Haltech
Ok I have do a little reading on here about haltech and other ecu's. I do have some questions about EMS's in general.
Basically later down the road i want to do a turbo upgrade on my 87 tii. so I know i will need a ems anyway. but currently i just want my car to run smoother for a while till i do the upgrade. I removed all the emmisions,ported wastegate, fmic, walbro,apexi gt spec DP and exhaust. it doesnt run as smooth as i had hoped. will the Haltech give me the ability to remove the MAF, make the motor run smoother even with a vaccum leak, basically im looking for it to make the car run good. the motor is strong just seems like the stock ECU isnt cutting it anymore. Thanks |
An aftermarket ECU will allow you to run speed-density fuel mode. This will not require an air flow meter of any sort. Yes, you can get it to run smooth and with a vacuum leak. Speed density doesn't care if you have a vacuum leak or not. It will just account for it by adding fuel when it sees less vacuum.
