Haltech Elite 2500 Install/Setup with BlownBlueZ06
 

So I have been speaking with Bret for a little while now about stepping up to a standalone EMS to allow me to run flex fuel, traction control, boost control and control my methanol injection. During our conversations Bret convinced me that I should be looking into the Haltech Elite 2500 with dual wideband, flex fuel sensor, terminated wiring harness and other misc sensors to get it running.

Since I live in VA and Bret is in TX there is no way I could give him the car to install and tune so he is going to be guiding me through the entire process from install to base map to full tune and I will be keeping track of it here to help any of you guys who were interested or on the fence about installing this system in your own cars.

I have just paid for the system this morning so there may not be much progress to see in here for the time being but I wanted to get this going so that any who has questions or special picture/information requests can post them now before I really dig into it.

Breakdown of order:
Haltech Elite 2500 - Haltech HT-151366
Dual Canbus Wideband Kit
Dual Wideband Display Gauge
Flex Fuel Kit with Fittings
ECT Sensor with pigtail
Base tune, wiring documents, and tuning support from the wizard himself, Bret Bradbury.

I can't wait to get started on this and start churning out some serious power now that I can effectively utilize flex fuel and all of my fab work is currently done on the new setup.

For those who may be interested this means that I will have an HPTuners device, Eboost Street, 3 innovate gauges, 3 bar map, AlkyControl PAC and OEM ECU for sale shortly as well.

I want to do this also but its not in the budget right now with all the other work I am doing. Good luck and Bret is great to work with.

Thank you. I actually worked with him to spec/purchase all of the parts that went into the LS2 that Mike Van Paris assembled for me.

I've talked to Bret about the same setup you're doing. I'll hopefully be pulling the trigger on getting those parts ordered from him soon (still trying to recover from blowing my motor and the rebuild/ upgrades). I'll be following the thread.

Mike

Im gonna follow this closely, Im working on a TT LSX build and about the only thing i havent decided on is stock PCM or aftermarket piggyback. Please keep us in the loop!!!

Let me know if there is anything specific you want me to post pictures or descriptions of. I won't be piggybacking my stock PCM, it will be removed entirely because racecar.

will this be a piggy back system?

No it will not. I am doing a full replacement of the factory PCM.

how do you plan to integrate the BCM, TAC, ABS, headlight, ect controllers

Haltech has a wiring diagram available that shows you how to parallel it with the factory computer.. :thumbs:

that I know, but he isn't doing a parallel. he is removing the factory ecm completely

So whats the question? If its stand alone it doesn't have to rely on any of the factory systems.

^ That. My car is not a street car, it may see public roads for 50-100 miles per year at most.

I will further explain how the entire system will work once I get it into my hands and start working through it with Bret but as I understand it removing the PCM and running this as a standalone will not affect the function of my interior electronics, headlights etc. ABS has been removed from my car for some time now.

good luck, doing the same, but the holley dominator piggyback route. I still want to believe in having a "street" car w/ street car thingies

ah damn, im interested in running it as a piggyback. My car only comes out for mexico, track days and the occasional cars an coffee. Im mostly considering it for the flex fuel/boost control/and traction control.

This is what I do with my car as well. I eventually want to a system like a Haltech. Blownbluez06 can set you up with a system that keeps everything working.

where in VA are you? like to help out as I'm putting a haltech in a c5 and want to wire it up piggyback

has anyone used the boomslang harness? As far as I know there is no plug and play harness for a c5

I'm thinking of doing an engine swap and looking for some tech assistance with the wiring and tuning so lets team up!

My buddy has a dyno jet and I can get you a good deal there and he has a trailer so we can do a remote tuning session with Bret and get this done!!!

PM me! I finally sold my house so it's time to boost a muv!@:crazy:

What car will this be done to??
