This Is The BEST Budget ECU For Your Honda (Cheaper than S300) 

I’m starting my build and I couldn’t be happier that I found your channel!

Thanks for the input I'm currently building a k24 bb2 from 1993 this will help so much looking forward to the next few videos

You have hit the nail on the head. I’m in this situation now. Same everything. Bb4 h22a

When I was looking at trying a turbo honda build, this was what I was going to use since hondata units offered no support for tuning with an automatic on my platform ('04 1.7 civic). I'm glad to see I was pointed in the right direction with my homework since I've never attempted a build, but have wanted to for ages. And before someone roasts me for a slushbox, I have a t-6 spinalcord injury so I literally can't use a clutch 🤷‍♂️

This is good info to have. I'm going to be swapping in a B20V (GSR head type R cams) into my EF hatch. It came with a Rywire engine harness but i don't have an ecu yet. Looking forward to watching the rest of these videos on this ecu.

Thank you so much! Just started my build and was looking for an ECU!

Thanks for this, been scouring marketplace for a p28.... Glad there is another option out there.

That intro....pure gold.

Nice I have the S300 have not installed it yet but will see💯👍👍👍

Thankyou for always the good detail information!! 🤟🏽

thanks for the knowledge Kenny!!!

Definitely a great option, Haltech makes a jumper harness for B/K series i believe.

great points this should be a good series

Thanks for the great info!!!👍🏽

Love this video very informational.👍

Love this info! I was THIS close to buying an S300 combo a couple nights ago. Waiting to see the rest of the series now before I buy the Haltech+WB02 from you guys! Love the content and education!

I luckily found a p28 and chipped it myself. Upgrading to a link monsoon soon though

For those needing more inputs and outputs, the next model up, the elite 750 is the way to go. It has more inputs and can reassign unused injection and ignition channels as general outputs. I run Haltech’s in both my cars and love em

I’m totally about this setup

Awesome information

That’s an insanely good value

Great video

I dig this setup, as I grow into my motor build this is a way nicer option then adding a chip to my ecu. Along with add ons, my old ass p28 just might melt. I love what haltec does and this is the icing on the cake, good lookin out. 👊🔥😎🔥🤘

Great vid

I did a lot of Honda chrome tuning a few years ago, I have a bunch of stock ECU's in a box somewhere Ha Ha I Like how Lnk G4X have a plugin for most honda's I've ordered a Link G4X plugin for my 2002 Honda CRV so no wire in, just plug it in and start it up and tune.Link also do a many wire in's as well and cheaper and better in my view. Aftermarket ECU's are so much better than anything that still uses the stock ECU. I like how this guy explains how the old ECU is truly outdated

Good to see this video..currently i have a civic SIR with a stock b16a engine with the ff mods. B16b piston set B16b connecting rods B16b camshafts Crower springs and retainers Polished and ported head Crower flat valves Skunk2 pro adjustable cam gears Skunk2 pro IM Skunk2 pro 70mm throttle body Spoon full exhaust. So i was going for a p06 or p27 box from my stock box. So haltech 550 is the way to go? Hopefully its available here in the philippines. Im just going for a daily race car build.

I need oneeee gotta bb6 lude myself i want to get a better ecu. This is it.

A prelude huh i like that

Would love to see setting up a base map for start up and or how you would add fuel and change injector size, dont theese halttech ecu pretty much tune there self once base lined?😀 on the Next vid mabye🤙

Glad I got my S300 done years ago, these prices are insane. You would think in the era of cheap electronics like RaspberryPi someone could come up with a super cheap chip.

Wow thank you so much for this video guys, I’m on a fmu setup rn and looking for a cheap option to tune my car, and this option looks great. I want to buy it from you guys to show support but the link shows that it doesn’t show up, are they not available on your site anymore ?

Kenny I really appreciate this. Absolutely mind blowing

I hope this is a HUGE eye opener for all these “on a budget” Honda builders. Your paying WAY to much for a 26+ year old ecu that is in used condition and can fail on you at any given time and has horrible safety features. Spending a few more extra hundred dollars on a UP TO DATE standalone will be a way better purchase that’ll have more features, have a faster data-logger/safety perimeters, and can be used on on multiple projects that aren’t just Honda’s.

I run megasquirt 2 v3.0 built by me. 300$ ka24de turbo. Set up for sequential ignition ls2 coils. 50$ trigger wheel(nissan thing) The tuning software is user friendly. Pay 50$ for software upgrade for auto tuning.

Another budget is a Moates ostrich, cobra, etc. and HTS (Honda Tuning Suite) which is free software prolly get a board for 200-250 then whatever your using for ecu

I had a phearable chipped p28 in my gsr swapped DA, and I think I paid 200 bucks, they are 800 now! Crazy. I want 2010 prices back lol

Im sold . appreciate the info

I paid 160 for a SPEEDOUINO and another 185 for blue tooth and wideband controller and it has everything the haltech has no lift shift, 2 step ,rolling 2 step ,ac control and all and is easy as hell to set up and tune

Man! I might sell my ECUs to get this!

Yes sir more please

Awesome informative video content. Thank you

Looking forward to this H- build.... I'm starting an H22 build soon

You've peaked my interest.

Can you do a video on the ECU project titan?

Hopefully they can keep this in stock though. Even the Bigger Elite ecus are out of stock all the time.

These are the videos we need 💪💪💪💪

Haltech ftw

I fw this video.

I need one for my ep3 fully built for turbo.

Thumbnail so handsome. 😍

Keep the videos coming!

Hello this is off topic but can you source a few mount swap kit and possibly adapter plate

Ok I get it.

Can we get a comparison between this and an entry level fueltech?

I have a couple p28 chipped ecu’s sitting around., hell I need to sell them and get one of those for my ef build

Good stuff. I would love to be able to do something similar with a $400 microsquirt computer for an even cheaper option. I can still get honda obd1 ecu's for around $100-150 and have a few extra's laying around but would like to learn how to set up a standalone ecu on these cars to have more options.

What about reading the Diagnostic code on the haltech Elite

I have an Australian 1995 EG4 GLi 3D Civic with a D15B2 engine, ecu is P06 Q00 - will this work for any honda? I'm literally just trying to replace the stock ECU with another one from a wrecker or something, as mine's fried, just need stock replacement to run the car reliably - but of course, there are none, and if there are they're almost impossible to find. Would hugely appreciate tips on this, I've only just walked in the Honda door. Cheers!

Will this work to get a few desperately needed horses out of a D17a2 in a 05 Civic ??

awesome AI ECU

Now we just need something like this for the K and L series engines. Speeduino looks promising, but I don't think anyone has gotten VTC to work with it yet

Can you do state inspection with it ? With a obd2 a or B set up

Any recommendations to tune an h22a4? Looking to get my prelude built up properly before I go boosted

Which would u say is better, fueltech ft450, or haltech elite 550?

Wish I seen this before I bought my s300 lol

I can use this for my d16? I just want to put a turbo a run like 230-250 hp reliable

Hey is there an updated version of the website for 1999 D series honda civics ecu?

I have a question does the p28 work with a b20 non vtec until im ready to start my build??? I am new to this thanks

Also can i use this in s s2000 swap in to a civic with k20 6speed trans

What about a mega squirt 3, it’s more in line with an elite 1500 but at a 550 price

what injectors can you use? do you still have to use peak and hold injectors?

To be clear and accurate on this. Materials used and technology on hardware has not changed since the early 90s. What has changed in regards to hardware is the methods , processes and tooling used for manufacturing computer components, and the eradication of premature failing and or partial malfunction of components, through the substitution of certain materials with others on these. Through these changes ecu board and components have become less prone to failure, minimization of signal leak, of reduction of component properties and loss of interaction between them while at the same time, interaction speed has been enhanced. So in other words the technological basis of ecu board design and manufacture is the same, but it has been refined and corrected at good degree. So if one takes a late 90s early '00 ecu and replaces the right components, such as capacitors, diodes, chipsets, mosfet, resistors, transistors inj and ign drivers, relays, e-prom etc , with contemporary versions of them, then one will have built a new and pretty capable ecu unit, as far as hardware is concerned, where in combination with modern coding reader/writer such as the hondata, one will get the job done on their setup. To sum this up, it is not hardware technology that has changed, as this has only been refined and corrected, as capacitor is still a capacitor, and a diode is still a diode, so is an injector driver i.e, with the difference that nowadays these components are much more compact, and more resilient than two decades back. What has actually changed is the coding, as it has advanced greatly since the 90s, and it has also been spread around. Through the evolution of coding, we can demand more features from the hardware components, and coding has also become a lot easier with todays coding tools than it used to be the previous decades. In the '90s almost all the features if not all that are offered today to the end user, who could be anyone of us, through a standalone ECU unit, were only available to rally teams, or to anyone who wanted to have a very high end standalone product that had 3-4 times the value of a piggy back ecu i.e. One of these companies was Motec. A group N standalone ecu from Motec in 1998 with all its ancillaries, had a cost of around 4K usd, but the specific ECU offered back then every feature a today's standalone ECU unit does. The above suggestion of getting a Haltech Elite , is correct, and the most reasonable and beneficial route of action.

I don't think they make these anymore. What is the next option?

This vs Fueltech Ft450 or Aem V2?

so im k24a8 swapping a 1975 vw bug. ya think this is a good idea

It looks like the unit does not use a knock sensor. So how does anyone tune without being able to reference engine knock? Im I missing something here?

Flex fuel sensor capability?

WOULD REALLY LIKE A REPLY!! But.. I have a 1990 accord with a G23 swap. Need a p28 ecu with h22 base map but hard time finding. Will this work if I go with you?

The link for the ecu doesn't work. Can you send a link for part 2 ?

Now that the elite series can be controlled with the NSP software, tuning will be quicker and easier! #HaltechSentMe

Just looked at your website. This ecu is not available. What the next option for a 1996 Civic LX?

Can I use Haltec on a 2009 Euro Civic r18? Euro civic ecu is not suported by Hondata.

Perfect for a D16 budget build. Yay/nay? 👌

What ECU will work with a 2006 K24 Accord engine?

Can u run a e85 sensor without a analyzer with the elite

Which one do I get for a 2004 Acura TSX ?

Quick question if anyone knows, whats the ecu that came on the Civic Ef si? just asking because iv still got a spoon chipped one from 13 years ago sat in the attic?

Can the haltech 550 be used to tune running e85 and boost

Interesting

Building a crx 3/8 asphalt circle track race car.. need to make it as fast as possible If I run single cam engine I only have to weigh 1500# the Bseries cars have to weigh 2300#.. that’s huge weight difference.. what should I do for non vtec single cam horsepower and good tranny that will work for 3/8 circle track. Any Honda guys with this info would be great.

How come you guys no longer sell the Hal tech 550?

Can we use it for Honda Civic vti 1998 stock engine for upgrade performance.

Good deal...!!!

Hey on the elite 1500 for k do u guys give a base map

Can you use that ecu for a k series build?

Does this suport drive by wire and cruice controll

Does this come with a basemap already?

Is this a k-series option in a 91 ef si?

would this work on a 9gen civic

Can I use that on my cu2 tsx automatic
