Nathan on YouTube Barefoot Garage Jax converted his D-jet to modern EFI using Haltech 550 and hoping Nathan or someone who knows him would message me so I could ask Nathan a few questions.
I am very impressed with Haltech they been very informative and prompt but this is not a common conversion for them. I am using a variety of sensors manufactures most from The Dub Shop that not standard for Haltech but will work as long I know how to implement each into the tune. Just trying not to make the same mistakes and be back on the road sooner than later. This has became necessary due to my D-Jet started failing and trying to get new or remanufactured parts is next to or imposable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Critical to have a tuning shop close that will work with what you have...
A buddy of mine put a "Hydra" into a MSM Miata which used to be sold by Flyin Miata. Flyin Miata offered "lifetime" support which they have provided AWESOMELY! The problem was finding a tuner with a chassis dyno that could work with the Hydra. One shop in Dallas, it was crappy, and the tuner did the most basic of tunes for the sum of 1K! Because of the lack of folks that tune the Hydra it's VALUELESS on the Forums. I have purchased my friends Miata with a popped motor (the Hydra screwed up and ran stupid lean which KILLED the engine). I will throw the Hydra into the round file and replace it with a DIY Megasquirt. Had it been Megasquirt from the get-go, the engine would not be dead, and I would not own the car... In my case the Hydra was a GOOD DEAL! There are three shops at MSR (Motorsports Ranch) 10 miles away that can tune Megasquirts... Good ones! Make sure whatever unit you get can be tuned by a shop you would want your car to go to. Most of the base units are very similar. The DIY unit that is equal to the 550 is what is called a "micro-squirt" https://www.diyautotune.com/shop/megasquirt...ed/microsquirt/ Don't buy one until you have verified the shop that will end up doing the final tuning it... |
