Hi Guys, Just looking for some feedback on this. Is the PS2000 with the patch loom kit worth the extra cost over the Pro Plug In? I`m not 100% clear on the differences between the 2. All I see is a different number of I/O, different on board map sensor, and some features such as nitrous switching.

How do these differences translate to the real world for an R32, Rb26, drag and autocross application?

Unless you really want to get into wiring (like I did) get a plug in (has additional outputs/inputs from a separate plug).

Solid ecu, you won't look back.

have pro plug in.

awesome ecu.

has alot of expansion features.

I believe better for the car then the ps2000.

but, if swappin it to another car later, ps2000 is probably a little easier on that front.

The new plug in comes with an extra input via the auxiliary plug, dpi, which is required for flex fuel. Good thing.

There are a few extra avi and outputs via the aux loom without resorting to the I/O expansion box. So basically if your happy to use mostly the standard sensors with a few after thought I/O then plug in will be fine, so afr, run larger map sensor( over 2.5 bar), log external knock box, boost control through the haltech etc. all this is possible throught the plug in, if you are going to step up further with more logging then go the 2000

Dont buy a haltech! Look at the failure rates/issues on here lately. . Be crazy to buy 1! I can show you a viseo that will also change your mind ;)

Really? In interested to know more, I own one and it seems great, a mate has the ps2000, that seems like a good thing also.

If you were choosing your ecu, talk to who will tune the car for you, they will have a preference.

wouldn't happen to be a cetain1/2 jz in a BMW ur referring too?? haha

Haltech are a big company with 28 people employed doing nothing but improving their existing products and coming up with new ones. If there is an issue with their ECU's, they will help get it sorted.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
