For anyone else playing along re timing issue. 

A good unbiased thread here. 

Unsurprisingly issues occurs on a number of ECUs, not limited to Haltech, and even features our OP(and others) claiming the same issue on a PowerFC, madness... 

Seems like most ECU manufacturers and Tuners were aware of and had produces solutions to address it, including modified/better CAS discs, crank triggers, etc.  

Too much was said for me to not look into it as a precaution - So thanks for that even if your caps are flat. 


 

I am probably as far from a flat clapper as you can get!

Yes it is an issue with not just Haltech, motec m800 and earlier, link etc all suffer from it.

With a good CAS and good signal wires PFC, Nistune and Adaptronic won't suffer from it, if you get really bored you can listen to a youtube video or post Andy from Adaptronic made about it too. So for a plug in ECU designed for that engine I think it's a rubbish ECU choice if you need to fit aftermarket sensors.

It's always to learn something new :D

 

 

Haltech "claim" not an issue with Platinum Pro, but was a problem on earlier ECUs, guess I'll find out it ever happens. 

So I guess the bombshell here is old shit can be problematic... but new shit has less issues.. Who knew!

LOL it's defiantly a problem with the Platinum pro, even worse with the Elite range but I won't tag Jono Pace in this thread for him to rage about them. 

Don't always believe the marking bullshit that comes from a manufacturer, i am sure you tuner would have tuned you car extremely safe up top if it was showing any issues.

He might have given me an ear bashing on FB about it already?

Wonder why my car hasn't seen it. Maybe the key is don't drive it. 

it may well have it, you can tune around it to a degree or just ignore it like most do.

That must be it then, I can't there being any possibility that it's just working properly. 

I'll be ready to replace the ECU when I put my TH400 in.

 

 

Just put a crank trigger kit on it!

You will need it for the 1000hp and your TH400

Setup a real crank trigger.

Throw OEM CAS disc in the bin. Fit an aftermarket disc.

 

Run whatever ECU you want or as many Haltech products as your passenger footwell can fit. Job done.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
