Haltech Platinum Review 700rwhp!?!? Well Almost:-) pg 3
Well, I finally got a chance to install and tune a Haltech Platinum on my 350Z yesterday. Overall the unit works very well, installation is a breeze, and the VTC worked flawlessly.
The only changes to the car was the exhaust and EMS. Having the ability to control the VTC will make a huge difference when tuned correctly. Dyno number 103 was what my car was making at the last track rental/meet at Mason Dison, if you compare that to the current setup (run 153, same boost levels) it yielded me nearly 130ft/lbs of torque at 4400rpm. That's a difference that even your "seat of pants dyno" will pick up
Congrats to Injected Performance for offering the community another capable PNP EMS solution.

But of course
I honestly bought it just to see how well it worked, and well it works. Every tuner has their favorite EMS, I just wanted to check this one out first hand.

Ray, congrats on the numbers and tune - I wasn't sure that you ever got around to installing it Thanks for posting up your findings, and let me know if you need anything.
RCDash / Alberto, I believe he is non-revup, and was using AEM previously.

Nice!!did you play with the VTC much to achieve those gains?Or was it from leaning it out, smoothing it and adding some timing?
Looks Great!!

I had and Apex-i exhaust system with 2.5" Y section from the downpipes. I had used the stock flanges that are pretty smalI when I made the 2.5" setup. This time I made the Y section with 3" flanges and tubing that join to a single 4" exhaust system we made. It seems to be working really well.
