This is Goated customer service for a company, most would just dump their second hand market.
They hold there value on the used market…
This video shows to me that Haltech is a company who cares about their customer.
They are the best.
Unlike Microtech
Their videos helped me decide on Going with them vs similar competition. I have learned A LOT from them.
Being commonsense about your user base = top support!
I absolutely love the fact that you guys can whip out a platinum you see you and talk about it without completely discouraging your buyers. Obviously encouraging them to buy something newer and better in your product line, but so many other companies completely disregard that they had any models prior to their newest stuff. Which I have never liked.
Great video, very impressive for a company like Haltech to help customers buy second hand. Well done.
It's actually a very smart play on their part, that so many manufactures don't get the importance of.
It maintains the second hand market so people can
Upgrade more easily, because one can sell the prior product for a good price, reducing the net cost
Buying s/h makes it cheaper to get on the HALTECH product range because one doesn't need to buy new
One has more confidence buying used, from a person to person purchase, because with a laptop, USB cable and, if required, 12V supply one can quickly and easily check the ECU is actually still functionable
One can also feel confident that there is still support, if not updates, for older models and newer models are easily updated with good support
One can ask for the serial number and model, to check out the history of the ECU
Once a s/h customer has used the product, and is familiar with the software, he/she is more likely to buy another product from the same company
Ha, the burnt ones remind me of that OG game boy in a museum that was very burnt but still works. Hoping to pick up my new elite 1500 tomorrow, was wondering if I could power it up on usb alone to play with the software but got my question answered, thanks guys, I’ve been glued to the channel over the last few weeks watching all the tips and tricks!
Glad you find the videos helpful:) Good luck with the E1500, if you get stuck - support@haltech.com
Nobody else is doing this in the aftermarket ecu market. Wow, kudos Haltech! Not just peddling the most recent ecu range, actual customer care.
This makes me wish I had chosen Haltech over AEM for the ecu in my '88 Supra in the US. With Haltech based in Australia I expected their US support to be lacking, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe my car would be running right now if I'd chosen differently. 🤔 #cam0_syncerror0
We have two offices in the US, one in Lexington KY and one in LA so you won't have any problems getting support anywhere in North America:)
Always fun and interesting to watch a haltech update. Thanks team.
This video is testament to why haltech is better than all the rest!
Great video, lots of information to unpack but every bit of it insightful and extremely helpful. An added bit of insurance has been to make an enquiry into the service history of the unit from the Haltech Head Office using the serial number. The fact that this is possible can offer a decent measure of due diligence. If the serial number is being withheld on purpose then that’s cause for concern and you should invest in it.
Thanks for the wealth of insight Scott, I see that you’re enjoying yourself as always! Cheers!
What a top notch company 👏🏽 can’t wait to power my awd kswap em1 with a 1500 elite
these videos are one of the main reasons why i chose a haltech ecu even though link is more popular in NZ
Great vid as usual and a great Australian company. I see Cleetus McFarland you tube channel has just received a Haltech setup for his next build. I hope you see an increase in business off this for the US market
Haltechs been in the U.S. for nearly 20 yrs now lol
They have a factory in la and one in Florida, seen heaps of Americans using haltechs over the yrs 👍
Look I’ve little interest in efi - but I watch every video Scott does- you are a great orator and presenter thanks for the content
And I too had a chuckle at the trading post- I used to get that every Thursday ,my just cars, just parts and even got the land agricultural paper incase farmers had some listings lol
Did you call them all to tell them they're dreaming?
Haha I’ve always found jousting sticks to be expensive
You should have shown the ECUs from Super Gramps when you talked about water damage.
I went with haltech base on costumer service, but had to call haltech Australia to get my problem fix. Its also nice to be able to call certain area based on time zone. If i work at night i can call Australia since its day time over there. I work on an aem infinity once and the customer service can not help me on timing setting and had to figure it out myself
nice job tuning fork i'm doing a barra turbo and zf6hp26 in a e90 sedan so i guess a 2500 elite would be the go just working out some of the can and weighing up if a cluster change is needed as well but great video things people don't talk about cheers from broken hill
Man this video is so helpful. There's a Elite 2500T local to me that I'm eyeballing. Said it's actually been refurbished at Haltech so I'm gonna be sure to ask for the serial number to double check. Could you let me know how to do I power up the ECU without the car like you did at 5:50? (My car doesn't have an engine or wiring harness yet) Thanks mates! ✊🏾
Would you guys make a video going through the elite models and the new nexus models and explain how they’re different and how to choose which would be best for the vehicle or whatever you want to run in the future?
Actually working on one right now:)
@@haltech any idea if you guys are working on an adapter to go from the elite harness to the nexus or are they still the same plug?
It takes a bit of re-pinning, but the plugs are the same type. We've done a video on Elite to Nexus conversion, hope this helps:
ruclips.net/video/qymav_sjqAA/видео.html
Really basic question, but have you done a video showing what's involved in powering up an ECU outside the car? I'd love to be able to do some configuration now before my Elite 2500 goes into my project car.
The most basic setup is what Scott is using in the video - just connect power and ground to the front CAN socket, connect your laptop with a USB cable and you are ready to play. Obviously the ECU won't be reading any sensor data (because it's not connected) but you'll be able to have a play with the software to see how it works.
@@haltech I see that the CAN High wire was attached in the video, is it attached to anything and is this needed for updating firmware?
@@simonyun1883
It'll depend on the model - some don't need it, others will need the 12V + and ground/negative.
Just curious to know if there has been any use of Haltech ecu's in motorcycles? I've had issues in the past with factory ecu's on big bore bikes and thought this would be a great option.
I'm probably wrong here,but I reckon it will,I've seen a haltec on a sr20 that had motorcycle carbs/itb's...I don't know about single cylinder motorcycles,but the big inline 4 bikes should accommodate a haltec,I'm probably wrong,but I'd like to know also,
Quite a few drag bikes running Haltech ECUs. Very popular with the Suzuki Hayabusa engines in particular.

@@haltech WORM HOLE HAS BEEN BLOWN 79.5 galaxys away..do you think a haltec would run a turbo 450cc Yamaha raptor?it's an 2009 model aha
Haven't had much experience with those, but there's good chance someone's already done it. The best bet would be to shoot the specs along with any mods you've done to support@haltech.com and one of our tech guys will be able to confirm/deny the compatibility.
@@haltech I'm already a customer of haltec 🤣,IL be sure to forward some things through,it's definitely different from my LS things aha,
Thanks for the info Scotty
Trading Post. Old school! 🤣
Those who know - know. Everyone else: what the heck is a Trading Post???
I thought a trading post is where Sheriff Matt Dillon hitched his horse. 😂😅😊
It was a Thursday morning ritual 😂
@@donr62 I used to work in a newsagency in the 90s and we'd have a line-up of people on a Thursday morning waiting for the shop to open so they could race in, grab the Trading Post and find the bargains.
I miss the ol trading post 😔
Fantastic video Scott! I’m right in the middle of deciding if to upgrade my platinum to an Elite. Really interested to know how much pin swapping is involved.
How much for the toasted 2500 with an RB26 PnP kit?!?😋
Great Scott, always top support
ohh i thought you were going to announce a trade-in/factory refreshed units..
I picked up an elite 1500 for a bargain $1300 from one of spares boxes 30% off black Friday deals years ago. I'm still yet to use it but this power up trick really has me interested! Thank for the tip it needs a whole heap of firmware updates that need to be done in progression yeah?
Also it's internal battery only measures 2.5 volt that might need to be replaced correct?
You can do all the fw updates in one go. Straight to the latest version.
Those ecu plugs look a bit better than the Narva trailer plugs used on Microtechs.
What would a e11v2 be worth these days. I had one in my s2 rx7
Don't see many of them on the second-hand market these days. Most will be sold with the cars they're in.
I want to buy a elite 1500 for my cl9 euro. Can I retain the oem sensors or will I have to buy new sensors?
TIL: you can power up an elite via the front CAN port 😮
Is it possible to update firmware if the tuner has the ECU locked?
0:55 what about flood damage? is there anyway to know about flood damage or other water damage? We've just have severe flooding where I live and I know that there going to be cars written off by insurance companies and someone is going to try to sell the parts.
Water intrusion is a definite "no". Scott does mention that in the video, our ECUs are water resistant but may not survive submersion, especially a prolonged one. If you suspect the ECU you're looking at has been in a flood or has water damage it's probably best to walk away from that deal.
I don't imagine this is a huge problem but are you able to blacklist serials? Eg stolen and parted out car, blacklist the stolen item.
When you reset the ECU, do you not need to confirm the reset? Would just save the risk of someone accidentally resetting the ECU
i need a base map for an alfa romeo v6 24v 3.0 engine but cant find one! specifically a 2005 alfa romeo 166 engine, its going into an alfa 75 IMSA car.
Hi,
Please contact our support team via www.haltech.com/contact-us
They'll be more than happy to help you :)
Any chance of lending that charred one to Marty for his new car with the cheese gearbox?
good news is i've never had a failed haltech ps2000 for anyone thats weary about them, they are stout products even to this day
Is there any Haltech ecu that would work on a 675cc 3 cylinder triumph street triple motorcycle engine
Hey! That sounds like a question for our support team - you can contact them via the contact page on our website www.haltech.com/contact-us
Yes, you just may need to supply info on your trigger wheel etc but chances are one of their entry level wire in ecus will work, alternatively there is megasquirt
It's a shame that the software & EE devs aren't OS agnostic, windows only. I could see it most useful in certain applications to remotely send ecu data via a remote 5G NB-LoT connection for race days and to remotely update firmware as a tuner.
13:55 USB cable? Or is an RJ45?
USB A
Any plans to add Hyundai turbo engines to the list of support 🥺
How much for I be asking for a E6H with a hard copy of the installation manual?
Hard to say - The vintage collector's value is probably pretty high on something like that :p
@@haltech ill straight swap for a Nexus R3
All I ever see on marketplace is AEM stuff and new Haltechs
Can I purchase the burnt one? I need an elite 1500
Sorry that one lives in the Haltech HQ in Sydney, in a display cabinet.
@@haltech thanks anyway. Seems like I wouldn't be the first to buy a display 🤣😂
@@neilr1556 LOL. That is a true story actually. We had one of our units go missing from our show display a few years ago. It turned up a couple of weeks later for repairs with a not "ECU does not turn on" note. Well, that's because it's empty inside....
Someone put dogshit in one.
Hey guys, be superman's, please do a software update for the Platinum Sport series, a lot of good guys will thank you, I know it!
8 years is "old"? guess the ecu im working on from 1989 is ancient.
The crusty ecu thumbnail is the one to stick with
