Taking the road less traveled- going to instal Haltech in SN95...
Havent posted in a while but here it goes...
Since my last post I have acquired some new goodies: Trickflow Track Heat plenum, AFR 185 heads, 1.6 roller rockers, arp studs, and BBK equal length shorties...
So looking around for tuning options for the SN95; I was not very impressed. I also have Haltech Platinum 2000 long flying lead kit that I was going to put on my porsche (gone) but never did. Now I know I will get many people on here saying "why bother?" but my thing is that the Haltech is much more tunable than any other "plug and play" system outside of the AEM pnp. I dont like the idea of not running a mass air on a non-turbo street car, however, if I can get the tune right there wont be much diffrence (the Haltech is either TAU or Speed density...)
Mean while- I do not want to plunge and loom the new hareness for my car yet as I do drive it a lot, so... I am going to make a patch loom for it so I can "plug and play" and if I dont get what I want from the tune (I am no novice, but no expert either...) I can simply plug the stocker back in and drive. Keep in mind that someday I will blow through (or spray the ***** off) this motor.... after some forged lower end bits...
Any thoughts, advice, rants, whatever are welcome...

interesting. i'd like to see how it turns out if you go down that road. my project before my motor went pop was gunna be to megasquirt.
do you know what ECU ur car has? you have a 94 right? should be an EEC-IV, in which case i believe megasquirt has DIY plug and play - you solder the board then plug it into the ECU harness. it has options for MAF and speed density, and you can even set them as a hybrid using both (at seperate times of course, IIRC its rpm/pressure based)
