Haltech Initial Set Up

[MJTru]

In the manual for the haltech ps2000 subsection trigger setup. I would like to know what kind of cam sensor is it? What type and discription. I will type what it is asking. Set the crank and cam ( trigger and home) angle sensor type and discription in the trigger setup page. If using a hall effect or optical style crank sensor then set trigger type to hall effect. In most stand alone applications the trigger pullup will need to be set to on when using a hall effect crank sensor. In piggy back applictions the pullup will be set to off. Trigger pullup will be set to off for all reluctor ( sine wave) style trigger inputs. That it, that's all under trigger setup. Now what does home mean or refers to? Also I'm guessing that we don't use a hall sensor, and I know that we don't have a crank sensor, and when these refer to trigger that's the signal from the cam sensor that triggers the ignition and fuel, in other words it reads all the inputs from the cam sensor so that the ecu can give the proper outputs. Right or wrong? So my cam sensor is the triggering unit, but what type and discription. This is proberbly be a dumb question too what is a reluctor? I will google it, just thought that I would ask. Thanks agian mates.

it is hall effect..

Home is a set point tells the ecu its about to start another revolution, trigger points are when it will inject and fire..

you should be able to get a base map from haltech with all that set up..

Thanks mate. I don't know why they couldn't say it like that. One more quick qestion, I'm running a rb25det with patch harness ( H11PR32) if I was to use all the fetures of this ecu I would need another harness with all the pins in it right. Looking at the 34 and 26 pin connectors they are missing some pins. I'm thinking that these are for added opions, but being missing I will need new ones?

you won't need a new harness, the sockets that go in them can be added in after, most workshops that tune haltechs will have them (you need a special tool to crimp these.. and it would be cheaper to get someone to do it for you..)

or you could find a workshop that does have them and ask them to make up some with a meter of wire attached, then you can use them as u wish..

Thanks again Mate. I use similar type crimping at work and I might be able to do the wires myself. I'll just need the pins. Only if this tool was made by haltech witch I dout, it looks to be the same. Do anyone knows if haltech does, or can supply a new harness? Also haltech had to subcontract a company that makes the pins and crimping tool, if anyone has any info on the connectors and pins, the world would be gratefull. I've been reading up on this ecu (haltech ps2000) and it has so much things that the power gc doesn't have post staring, injector dead time, injector trim, mate I have a lot of learning to do. One thing I found intresting is how you have to synchronize the ecu with the motor, I'm refering to the ignition setup. I wonder why the power didn't need to do this. Has anyone did an ignition setup on a rb25? It states that to sync the timing set lock timing to ON, and then crank engine with plugs out of course. Then using a timing light on number one cylinder, adjust the tooth offset and trigger angle until timing reads 10 degrees as viewed with a timing light on crank pully.

Now the skyline, to what I know doesn't have tooth Aka tooth offset. I know of the 3 bolts that holds the cam angle sensor in postion. Is that what it means. Also and numbers for timing sync can be used 0 or anything positive.

Can I load the power fc maps both fuel and ignition to the PS2000,

Thanks again, and please teach me I'm a quick learner, and would be happy to teach what I learn. This ecu is a good investment for me more than my car. From what I gather so far the power fc is geared to one car at a time, and this ecu is geared to a wider range of car, that is why there are so much settings. Don't know if that a right statement.

I'm willing to read even pay for classes on the pending matters. Where can I get more reading materials from, and does haltech have a online training class, I heard of somthing like this, or it might have been for the motec stuff.

haltech only make there boards and software, the rest is made by other companies..

Haltech is much better than the PFC, if your looking for more control.

you don't have to teach the haltech the tooth off set if using a base tune.

- Tooth off set is the difference between what the PS2000 thinks is home and the cas thinks is home.. if it is a 36 tooth a tooth ofset of 1 = 10 degrees timing..

You cant load PFC maps on a haltech

Haltech does a tuners class every now and then.. not online..
