My haltech is on it's way back! :D

For anybody that cares about me and my happiness I have some good news! haha My e11v2 is on it's way back. It just went on on a quick vacation to the outback steakhouse to get some food.

The repair ended up costing $365 Australian wallaby dollars including shipping. :/ They had to replace the main processor, the PLD, and a few other small things. It turned out that the battery charger I had connected to the car and such while I was having some issues with a bad map, might have caused all the problem. It was weird, but either the batter charger, or something in the haltech, would collect volts. I looked at my logs and it confirmed that I was getting readings of over 16 after not starting the car for a while and having the charger on normal 10 amp charge.

ANYWAYS, it is on its way back. Most likely wont be here for labor day weekend, but better than never!

Haltech just released some new software that will help "quick tune" the ecu based off wideband readings and such. Should be interesting. Anyways. Yay me, I am excited, and I made a thread about it!

(P.S. The last few days have been pretty good, I got a raise in my job, and I will be able to keep my beautiful MS-01 wheels too. )

(P.S. ... again, I REALLY like that little wiggle smiley. )

Yeup yeup! Quicker but 2x as expensive. :/. I am excited. Not sure what I am going to do for a tune now... looks like the next Kan tune might fall through from not enough people. We will see.

Well if the new software does what you say it will "safely" then you shouldn't have to worry too much about the engine lasting til you can get Steve out here

Well ... hehe yeah. The thing is, you have to tell it what AFR you want at the points you are selecting and it will try to get as close as it can to that as it goes. The problem is, I'm not sure how well it does in boost, NOR do I know what AFR's I need / want on all the spots on the map. It seems as though that information is being held very tightly in the peoples minds that know.

If I can get it running well ......... I might be taking a trip down to texas, or have it shipped down there and have them do their magic on it. It would be HARD to not be at my own tuning session though... haha. There goes another $3k.
