Programmable ECU Replacement. - Hyundai Performance Forums

Hi everyone

While I am contemplating either going forced induction or a moderately high NA conversion, I like to get my electronics settled first.

No doubt the SAFC2 gives me certain control over the A/F ratio, but it cannot increase fuel for me on WOT as my engine is a Beta 2 which runs on MAP. On top of everything else, I cannot control ignition timing...with such limitation, tuning a TC or high spec camshaft is going to be really difficult. I dont think the Greddy Emanage is good consideration as the hardware is going to cost me USD800, and the software are fixed for certain Japanese cars only.

I am deciding whether I should replace my OEM ECU to either a Ultronic or a Microtech. Does anyone here have any experience with these brands, and am I just throwing away USD1500 out the window for:

Boosting the car between 5 to 7psi or High Spec Cams at 272 or 285 at 10.5?

Why not go Haltech? Many Hyundai peeps have this thingy installed, and you probably could get some tips from them.

Haltech has a very weak representation in Singapore.....its a shame though......

i was at the haltech site and they closed down the us warehouse :cry: anyways i was looking at them and they got a crap load of dif ecu's, what ones are the most used with the hyundai field? i also have plans on turbo'n and i already got my nx kit installed so is there a special one that just deals with in turbo/nitro cars?

Hi Dreammold

The Haltech most commonly used for Hyundai is the E6K. I think the E6K is able to handle a turbo/nitrous setup. But I believe Autronic may handle better.

with the autronic smc is it able to run an 5th injector?

Why do you need to run a fifth injector?......It may not be so good as the additional fuel distribution to the different cylinders may not be in proportion....

dreammold · 06-01-2003, 06:34 PM

the 5th is part of the alpine turbo kit but i am gonna try to run larger injectors so i dont have to worry about that extra nonsense

I believe both rally teams use the Autronic systems. So why would you want to use a Haltech right? PRICE. The Haltech is around $800-1200, the Autronic is over $2000.

depending on you PH goals a S-AFC and an MSD ingition might do the job.
