Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to choose a Haltech Engine Management System. Haltech
EFI systems have been successfully installed on thousands of vehicles, from power offshore
boats to twin-turbo Ferraris, from pylon racing aircraft to jet skis and snowmobiles. Over the
past decade, many motor-sport enthusiasts have discovered that the Haltech computer is easy
to use and performs well by enabling users to precisely control ignition timing and fuel
delivery. Precise ignition and mixture control leads to excellent drivability and fuel economy,
something that is often lacking in high-performance carburettor engines.
Haltech users have discovered that the flexibility of the Haltech Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) and PC based programming software leads to the easiest possible installation on
everything from traditional pushrod V8s to high performance turbocharged racing
motorcycles. We are proud of the fact that some of the most respected professional racers and
super-car builders in the world use Haltech equipment for the same reasons that Haltech is
popular with motor-sports enthusiasts: it is flexible and friendly; is installed easily; and you
can tune your Haltech simply, without having to make the project a major research effort.
Before You Begin...
1) IT IS BEST TO READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING.
The greater your knowledge of the operation of the Haltech system, the easier you will find it
to understand what you are doing, and why. Throughout the manual are Warnings and Notes
that will help your installation run smoothly and indicate the dangers that can exist for you the
installer and the Haltech ECU.
2) Read any additional material accompanying this manual that updates the document since it
was written.
3) You may need special parts or additional tools or test equipment in order to complete the
installation. Make sure you have these items on hand before you begin to avoid frustration.
Contact your Haltech dealer if you have difficulty.
4) Don't do the minimum work possible. Carelessness in the early stages of installation can
cause you major headaches later on, be it in a few days or a few months time. Carelessness
will cost you money and frustration in finding and fixing unnecessary problems. You have the
opportunity to make sure your Haltech system's operation is extremely dependable and easy
to use by doing it right the first time.
WARNING:
AVOID OPEN SPARKS, FLAMES, OR OPERATION OF
ELECTRICAL DEVICES NEAR FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
