Please note, this is my thread about what we are doing at Haltech, not an official Haltech thread, so I don't stand to gain anything from this or sales of this product when it is finished. That being said.
As some of you know, I started working for Haltech about a month and a half ago, and I love my job. Even more so now that we are developing a plug and play standalone system for m/t obd1 hondas such as our own.
We have not done much yet apart from getting the pinouts for a p06 (Im currently running a chipped p06 with crome pro) and the wiring diagram for the e6x and for the accord.

I started matching up everything so that we could use a jumper harness to connect the factory wiring harness to the e6x.
That's honestly about as far as we have gotten so far, as we are an office of 3, and we do all distribution, tech support, etc from this office here in Lexington.
Now, some random tidbits about all of this.
My car does not have a/c so I am not sure if this will allow people to retain usage of their a/c.
The e6x does not like sensors apart from gm style sensors, so the air temp and coolant temp sensors might have to be changed. However, we sell those too, and offer them in metric and sae sizes as well, and we are hoping the metric sizes fit without any sort of modification. If not, they will require some sort of tapping to make them fit. Development is too early to either confirm or deny this currently.
The e6x does not have the calibration for the stock honda map sensor(1.8 bar or so) however, it has an internal 2.5 bar map sesnor built in, so this isn't really much of an issue. A 2 bar map sensor is good up to 22 psi, which is more than sufficient for a stock block turbo guy. The software does work with 1, 2, 3, 2.5int, 5, and 7 bar map sensors however, so if you ever plan on running more boost than that, it is easy to configure and set up.
As for the e6x, it supports some cool features like anti-lag, vtec, boost control, nitrous switch, shift light, and lots of other stuff. The e6x software is free for download on the haltech website, so feel free to mess around with it.
Haltech understands that it is hard to compete with cheap and free programs like crome and uberdata, etc, so we are hoping to keep the price relatively low. Hopefully retail will be around $999 but since things are so early in development, that is defnitely up in the air still. For a full plug and play standalone, that is a very good price, and the haltech units are very high quality, so I believe this will be a good deal. The e6x does not require expensive upgrades, doesnt require chips to be burnt, and supports datalogging. You can check out specs on it here

If you all have any questions, concerns, things you would like to see, comments, etc, please let me know, and I will do my best to answer them.
I gain nothing from selling this, I am just trying to document what we are doing, and I will update this as time goes on.
Also, I post a lot on cb7tuner, but not a lot here, but will be around here more often in the future.

Why not give us a brief rundown on what it CAN do, that a Honda based ecu (with Hondata S300/Neptune RTP/ EcTune, Etc) can't?

The person that tuned my car and recommended the AEM to me first cut his teeth on the E6K. He had problems with their customer service in Texas and couldn't get anywhere until he called them in Australia.

It's not plug n play if you have to change to GM sensors. The AEM has wizards for all manner of injectors, sensors etc.

We fully understand that the average enthusiast with an intake, exhaust, and very little else is not going to be able to afford this sort of unit. The enthusiast with a fully built, sleeved, new rods, pistons, headwork, etc etc. who needs a full dedicated engine management system on the other hand is. If you look at the motec m4 kit for Hondas, it goes for about 2600, and this looks to perform just as well as that, if not better, for over 1000 less.

In all honesty, ive been running crome pro on my own cb7 for over a year now. Within the next year, I plan on building it for about 20 psi, adding 4 ls1 style coils, slicks, traction bar, etc, etc. I'll be the first to admit, that the diy tuning software like crome and uber, some of the midrange level stuff like hondata and neptune, have really come a long way over the past 5 years, and that they are good systems, but that there is a small niche in this market that could benefit from a dedicated full standalone, and that is the crowd we are aiming for.

Thanks for the input so far, and one of the first tests will be to see how much hp we can pick up in going from my chipped p06 to the e8. We share a building with dynodynamics, so we have ample dyno time available to us.

This is very early in the development, but stick around, and I assure you, you will see some good things come from this, even if it is not a piece that is for everyone.

b18cls1- I am unfamiliar with the bmw setup of which you speak, if you would like to discuss this further, please call me at 760-598-1941 or send me a pm. I've only been here for a bout a month and a half, so if it was something that happened before then, I am unaware of the situation, and I would be more than happy to try and work something out with you.

When i first replied i didnt realize you were working at haltech. So my advice is that you should come out with a PNP ecu for the 2006+ K series honda's. No ECU to date has the ability to control the K series Honda engine due to requirement of drive-by-wire throttle, multi dimensional maps (VTEC + Cam phase). Haltech has made a wonderful product in the new Platinum series ECU... if such an ECU can be adapted for the K series engine, i think Haltech would have a super winner on their hands... if you think about it, only Hondata has been able to tap into the K market and after 2006+ they cant even do that without swapping half the motor and wiring out.

Platinum K series Haltech... in my view would be a world beater and put Haltech back on the top where it belongs.

As for the k series development, they are about 90% finished with it in Australia, so hopefully within a year at the latest, we can see it on the streets.
We are going to try and get some various engines and cars in here so that we can at least have basemaps for a multitude of cars.
Im also going to be installing a racepak iq3 dash into my accord as well, to eliminate all the gauges, and because I just got promoted to handle the tech support for the dash. No experience is quite as beneficial as hands on experience, thats for sure.

People wanted a softer, more kid friendly S2000. So they got softer every year. You're asking Honda to build one that will bitch slap your wife when you're not looking.

Good shit. The 06+ Si is dying for some help.

Word, hopefully we will be able to provide that help.
