Here's the deal. I have the Max, a 92 240 RB, and a 99 Eclipse. I know the 240 and Eclipse can take input from a Haltech EMS (E11). I'm 99% sure I'm going to buy one. Can the Maxima accept the E11? The brochure says that all Nissans with an 'optical trigger'. I would assume so, as I've seen tham in VG30's, SR20's and RB's. HAs anyone tried it on the VQ30?

Anyone have any input? Any tips on tuning once I get it in? I'm boosting (Garrett GT3050), I have a Z32 MAF, 255lph walbro and 550cc's that are going in as well. I'm weighing a preprogrammed JWT ECU, vs this. Not cost-wise... benefit-wise. I'd love to tune on the fly. Would this be too much for a semi-novice tuner? I already have a computer in-dash and it wouldn't take much to add this to the system.

 

Uncle Max had big probs with Haltech on his turbo Max...PM him or maybe he'll chime in

 

Nevermind, found your saga, Uncle Max.

 

I got most of the Haltech to work. But it kept burning coils.
BUT I'm starting to wonder if it's because too cold plugs. I think I was runnin 8's. According to Jackie @ Carboy he said any plug colder than 7's on a stock ignition can shoot a spark up the coil? Anywho IF this is true. This may explain why at first the Haltech wasn't burning the coil then all of a sudden it started burning them. This is just my guess but I never figured out why the car ran fine for like the first test runs we did and never burned a coil.

I think when I went with colder plugs and running wasted spark it may have made the colder plugs shoot back. I hope this is not the case because I was sooo close to have it be a plug.

If you're willing to take the risk I'll tell you what I did to get all the ignition to work. I don't care anymore because I'm not going that route anymore. And I plan to start a 240 project. Doh I don't even have the base map anymore, I'll have to look.
