New Haltech Platinum Sport 500 ECU
Just thought I'd pass this on. Haltech just released the new Platinum Sport 500 ECU, a "trimmed down" budget standalone. More information available here:
http://www.haltech.com/index.php?option ... &Itemid=86
Just as an FYI...I was informed of the release by John over at RPSport.net (Thanks, John!!!), as he worked with Haltech on a KA adapter harness and had a hand in Haltech deciding to produce a conversion harness adapter specifically for the KA. Basically, for under $1K, you get the Platinum Sprint 500 ECU (which has a built-in 1.5 bar MAP sensor), the conversion harness, and an AIT sensor. Everything you need to go MAP and sell that Z32 MAF.
John hit me out of left field with this news, so I'm going to have to reprioritize some finances in order to jump on this deal. With this new Haltech ECU, some 1000cc injectors and some BMEP IGN-1A coils, it's time to step it up a couple levels!!!

John quoted me $955 shipped for the Platinum Sprint 500 ECU (which includes a built-in 1.5 bar MAP sensor), the KA-specific adapter harness, and an AIT sensor (your choice of 1/4" or 3/8" NPT). He said he would include all of the necessary sensor calibrations, as well as assisting in either passing along or help in configuring a base map specific to a particular end users injector size.8-bit wrote:rock out! how much they goin for on sale?

Hey, I wanted to post this up for you guys to keep. Its not done yet, but all the hard stuff is out of the way, just needs the fuel pump, 12v switched, maybe a few other basics.
It is a large picture, so better to right click and save as.

Hey everyone,
I have finished all the drawings for the Sprint 500 patch harnesses.
The downside to the sprint I want to get out there is that it cannot control the factory IACV as it is used oem.
The other thing is that since we have released the KA patch harness for the Platinum 1000, we have not sold 1 unit, but have about 10 patch harnesses sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
Because of this, I am a little hesitant to invest more money into other KA based inventory. If its not going to sell, our R/D + parts and manufacturing just isn't worth it.
I am working with another vendor to outsource production of future patch looms, and have them built on a single order basis making for a 4 week lead time.
In that case, the Sprint 500 would cost about $1100 plus sensors with a patch harness for the S13 or S14.
Taking all this info into account, would any of you be ready to PURCHASE one of these systems. Allot of people said they would purchase the S13 Platinum 1000 kit, but we still have not sold one.
On that Setup alone, we have invested about $2500 in dyno time to do the base map, about $2000 in design hours of mine, and another couple thousand in the first sets of patch looms.
So, are you ready to buy?
Thanks!
John

Everything looks good, I think the publicity isn't out there for it to compete with some of the more mainstream tuning solutions (AEM, Nistune); at least in this community. Everything looks good, I honestly can barely beat that price selling an AEM at cost, and the features of the AEM unit seem to be a bit bare compared to what the Haltech unit has to offer. Put together a bit more info, show us how it works, and I'd be willing to bet that you'd drum up some sales.

thanks for the good words joe,
I guess that is what I am hoping, but at the same time, our focus has been SR20's for years, and we have stayed out of the KA market. These products are purely in response to years of requests from customers for this stuff, and I knew it would take a capital investment to get any of it started, which I have hesitated on.
Last year I decided to redirect our business into more of a manufacturing and design group than a retailer, and now that we have made the capital investment, I am not seeing the return on it. So I need people to vote with their wallets that this is what they want, other wise it just doesn't make business sense.
I think I might have a better thing worked out with a harness vendor doing the looms for us, so we are not making such a large capital investment for what I feel might be a low volume high specialty market. At the same time, economics states that the cost and price of a product in such a market must be higher than a market with larger supply and demand. Obviously the KA market is not voting for the $1500 product, so the price has to come down, yet the question is will there be the demand?
That is what I am looking for an answer on.

I just wanted to correct a post a made last week about the Sprint. I got some bad info about the ecu (it is still very very new). The Sprint 500 will in fact control the Idle motor as stock, and boost solenoid. On their newer wiring diagrams, they are not calling out the PWM's, just labeling them all as outputs. I spoke with haltech this morning and it does have two extra PWM outs, so you can use it to control idle and boost without sacrificing anything.
John
Sprint = Idle control YES, Boost control YES
