to be honest, you are not going to notice a difference. if tuned correctly, the car will drive the same with either ecu. ask your tuner which software they're more comfortable using and go with that one.

^ this


I have the haltech pro plug in and really like it. But I mostly have it because it was priced right and Jeff Evans recommended it. I don't know enough about tuning to say which one is better but he was apparently very happy with the features in the Haltech Pro Plugin including its ability to throw standard Honda error codes (but must be ready by laptop since like all standalones the ODB2 port isn't usable).

As of right now I only have intake and exhaust. I am looking to get some bigger injectors and tune the car on E85. I might be going turbo in the near future so that's why I was asking which ECU would be better. I've read the reviews for the AEM SERIES 2 and looks more user friendly ( kinda like APPLE vs DROID lol ) although I haven't did a lot of research on the Haltech pro plugin.

I have the Haltech as well... my car was the testbed for the unit in the USA... this EMS is awesome from its error code ability and ease of use on the dashboard for users who maybe dont know everything about a tuning system its super cool... I even scaled my own injectors myself when i went to 1000's when matt from Haltech wasnt available and i usually wouldnt be able to do any of that !! We are Haltech Master Distributors so if your interested in a banging deal then PM me !! and i can help

I was thinking of doing a group buy for this unit if i can get 5 customer interested !! PM me for pricing !

In your own opinion, How would you rate this vs the AEM SERIES 2? That is if you have any experience with that ECU!
