Haltech wiring

[shields_05]

So, I've got an E6K lying around and I'm thinking about putting it on my GSR...

Can anyone point me in the right direction in regards to wiring it up?
Can I just splice it in using the ECU pinout diagram?
I'm trying to avoid buying the Plug-in Loom if I don't have to, but would it be the better option? Anyone have one they want to sell? :thumbsup:
And does anyone have a base map so I don't have to trailer it to the tuner?

Cheers.

I had an older E6 ECU version but sold it and got an E8 ECU and plug'n'play patch loom instead. Less hassles and saves $$ for a tuner wiring it all up. It simply plugged into the factory ECU plugs and all you have to do is wire in the 3 bar MAP sensor and air intake temp sensor to get it running.

Anyhow, Haltech have Manuals for their ECU's on their website. They explain how to wire them in: http://www2.haltech.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69&Itemid=65

Ive never come across a basemap for a 4G93T with E6K.
Hitman's got a basemap for a 4G63T with E6K here http://www.hitman.hm/maps.htm and you can probably change your injectors to 450cc to get it running. Base maps are only to get the engine up and running and you should always take it to a tuner immediately afterwards to have it tuned properly. Oh, and NO GETTING UP IT when you get the engine running either lol

They make a patch loom for the E6X, which would only be a matter of changing a few pins over to suit the E6K, but it's around $500 which I could be spending on my 2L build.

Hmmm, might have to sit down and try to nut it out, I was hoping for an easy answer

It'll be running 510's, so I don't know if that'll do the job. Hopefully my tuner can sort out a base map without too much trouble.

Haha, I'll be doing my best not to get up it, it's very tempting though!

$500 for a patch loom seems reasonable.

I had always thought they were around $300.00 or so??
Anyway, I'd go the loom just so your not chopping your stock loom up.

If you do want to wire it up, I would not cut the existing loom up but just strip back the insulation and tap into it. Just make sure you never plug your stock ECU in with the HALTECH connected together. Who knows what it will do. Also depending on what additional features (inputs/outputs) you want to use on the haltech, you may have to run additional wires to the engine bay or do what I did and find unused plugs and create mini looms that plug into the stock plugs in the engine bay.

Personally I think the patch looms are a great idea but WTF is with the price??!?? $495 each? Thats a total rip=off and Im a Haltech advocate. It certainly doesnt cost anywhere near that to make one: http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product...cts_id=1309&osCsid=l6cnbshpg4u3nrgqifnvo9hid4 .They used to be $330 each or there abouts a couple years ago.

Anyhow, when you add up the hrs spent splicing and dicing (by yourself or a tuner) and the problems it can cause when you want to change ECU's later, its value for money without ruining a stock loom. If you are in a financial position to do so, I think its the way to go if you want to run a Haltech ECU.

To be 100% honest! ditch the E6K and get your self a 2nd hand E8 or E11v2 that way what ever you do. the new series sprint and pro ECU's all use the same plugs and pinsouts you can upgrade to the new ECU's

besides E6K's are dos based platform and you really need a laptop with serial onboard - they dont really like the usb - serial adaptors, they are not that bad to tune but one page at a time.

E8 or E11 windows based and different windows with different data can be open at the same time! the newest ECU's are just bloody awesome the software is so customisable <- (if that is actually a word)

but that is more $$$

I would be looking for a 2nd hand E8!

hmmm I could sell you mine!! - you would still need a loom!

I second the guys above - get a patch loom. It's a neater and cheaper option than cutting up your stock loom.

Just because you have a ek6 ecu sitting there isnt an excuse to fuck your oem looms by trying to save a penny go a patch loom or sell that off and get what you want for it, there's a much cheaper way or doing it through a chip if your main concern is $$$$ outlay.

I'm fully against cutting in and slicing into factory looms just to put in aftermarket ecu's on the cheap I think Ive re wired in 6 so far gsr looms to replace dodgy spliced into and mal functiong factory looms that saving a buck costs you 9 times outta 10 in the long run.

Another option, sell the haltech and buy an ECMLINK! or Chip!
