I talk to a few people about this ecu they say its better than the commander 950 on programming for nos, supercharged, and turbo charge with their TPI. And has Real Time access, Tuning and data logging windows compatible. and excellent customer support. and it is 800.00 US dallors. give me your thoughts about it. http://www.haltech.com/e6gmx.htm
here is the video demo. http://www.haltech.com/haltech_video.htm |

I like the fact that it's a plug in replacement type of deal. Price is right also.
But I would like to hear some feedback of someone who is using this setup on one of our type of cars.
Great find!!! |

| I don't know if I have heard of anyone using this, I also couldn't find any info on what cars it is "plug n play" on. Haltech has been around for a long time, and has a pretty good name, so that is a bonus. Some more info would be nice. I also couldn't tell if it will do SFI or not, the spec sheet is pretty basic. it say's it only has 4 injector drivers, so it may not be capable of SFI on a 8cyl. But, the C950 won't support SFI, so even if the haltech doesn't, it isn't a disadvantage when comparing with the C950. |

| well it supports SFI, TPI, or TBI. Single or duel dizzy at any spark type. program ECU in car while its running. easy programing and data log. I called the guy he said just to use the E6X box not the GMX. and use in onboard dyno. they started on tuning tpi f-bodies and japanese cars during the 80's and have delco contracts. comes with wire harness you make custom depending what your using as of sensors. can control turbo and nitrous. all in one package. did you check the video? |

So does any stock ECM. Why change out the stock ECM to something that costs so much? |

| I could not agree more with Mangus! CM ostrich and tuner car or tuner rt is no more than $215 including the cost of a donation for the software if you use tuner rt;) |

| Twin turbo controller, Nitrous injection system, adjustable timing on the fly, MAF and EGR eliminated, easy fuel curve programing. switchable tune for street or drag. I don't believe the stock ecu could do that. |

Absolutely it can. 1227749 ECM = ~$50-$70. Ostrich (emulator) = $190, TunerPro RT = $30. Chip adapter = $30.
To each their own, though. |

That alone doesn't meet all of the requirements you outlined, no. |

I still don't understand, but it sounds like you're looking for me to point you to everything you need. Here you go:
Emulator:

Adapter:
http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=25_36&products_id=32
TunerPro (ALDL logger/Bin Editor):
http://www.tunerpro.net/
1227749 ECM:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1227749-TURBO-SUPERCHARGER-GM-ECM-Speed-Density_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33596QQihZ003QQitemZ130112547748QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
(you can get it cheaper with a bit of searching - I picked mine up for $50).
Modified Code to run in the ECM with lots of added goodies
http://www.code59.org/
Aside from the computer itself, you'll have everything you need to tune this vehicle (realtime - while the engine is running), and just about any other OBDI GM vehicle.
With all of that, I don't know what you're putting this in, so you may need a harness (if you don't already have a harness), or you'll at least need to wire some things in. For turbo you'll need either a 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor.
It's not impossible, and there's lots of information out there. Ultimately, it might be worth it to you to spend the money on the prepackaged deal, that's up to you to weigh, I suppose. |

if you look at haltech programmer all you do to change or manipulate the values is by click and drag on the 3D Bar graph just like a graphic equilizer on a stereo. instead of guessing numbers and typing it in. _________________

Same with TunerPro. However, I'll admit that DIY-PROM editing is not for someone who just wants a plug and play, "dumbed down" tuning experience. For that, you'll have to pay larger sums of money (as you've discovered) to have a more limited experience.
So there's certainly a trade-off, if only in learning curve. |
