I was woundering if the Haltech Ps2000 is werth the price as an ecu upgrade,? Has anyone used it?

I'm using the power fc at 25psi with a z32 mass air flow, AMS (GT950R). I'm thinking of getting the ps2000 and getting rid of the restictive mass air flow. I want to try running 30psi, and i'm flat lining the power fc at 25psi. Plus is there anyother features that can put the pfc in the dust. Well what i'm trying to say is will it be worth the upgrade. I've heard that the fc is real an old item.

Thanks mates.

flat lining on the AFM is the same as running a map sensor

once you reach target boost the load cells do not increase anymore so you run along the same load axis

so essentially you can pretend you have a map sensor and tune away with no change

Paulr33, I know that you’re an evangelist of the pfc, but I’m shore that there are other benefits to running a newer ecu. Flat linning the pfc makes it difficult for me to tune. When I reach the close to the flat lining mark, the check engine light flashes, and I can feel the power drop off. I know there isn’t much I can tell you to make you move change your mind about the pfc. The newer stuff has to have some more benefits that the older pfc. One that I herd about is. The self tuning of air fuel ratio’s with the haltech. I have a had time tuning the pfc for constant af’s at different load points. The easiest to tune is the Max load points. Also looking at the software for the haltech seems more practical and user friendly.

I do appreciate all your inputs, as I’ve learnt the most from this site, so please expand my vision in this endeavor.

but it gets real sketchy, afrs are all over the place as you need to tune for the peak load/ rpm afr's.... really not a good idea.

Ie if it max'd out @ 10 psi and your running 16 psi then the tune when running or passing through everything from 10psi to 15psi will have the same fuel and ignition figures as it would @ 16 psi.... not nice, it will be mego rich and mega retarded at anything below 16 psi.....

I agree with this, as I only make sense. If that was the case, then no one would need to upgrade there ecu’s. There would be no need for larger mass air flow sensors. Most could have just tuned the ecu’s for the same size maf.

Also I like that you can get rid of all the pipes that are integrated in the maf system. IE map set up.

I’m surprised, that I can find anyone that used the ps2000 on this site. As it stands I’m getting one next week with the 5 bar map sensor, and a boost controller kit.

More help on this matter please

Thanks mate

I'm in the same boat mate, I have a powerfc and Q45 and I am maxing the AFM. Hits the bottom row and stays there, lights are flashing like a disco on the dash, and power is all over the shop.

I am going to install a Vipec, and I think that you should look at the Vipec V88. They are PACKED with features, like all sorts of inputs and outputs, launch control, limiters, antilag, engine protections, multiple maps, etc etc. There is a massive list.

These things are so easy to use too.

Yah mate I will look into it it's a good thing I haven't spent the money yet lol I was planing on get the haltech, but about 2 years ago I red some things about the v88 sounds like this ecu is what I'm looking for. I'll do my research. I would really like for more people to give me there inputs on this topic. I'm shore there are guy's that have reached these power levels and not just us. The power fc is out dated and that's a fact. It's time for a change. V88 from what I've red is the best for a all round use. Can you recommend a dealer that sells these units.? What about the cost any idea? Well thanks alot mate. I'll let you know what I find. Ca

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
