Top work Cava. Whats the Haltech dash like? Is it running off the factory ECU?

Yeah factory ecu. I haven’t really explored the options and set it up correctly but so far so good.

It doesn’t display everything tho. As the ecu doesn’t spit out all the relevant info.

What data does it display? i’d love to get one but dont want to have to get all the sensors to make it work properly.

Everything I need so far aside from

Oil pressure and Temp

Fuel Pressure

Trans Pressure and Temp

Minor hiccup. Box gotta come out. I didn’t put the spacer in for the converter. So it’s not turning the pump. FML

Don’t take this the wrong way but probably won’t be the only issue you deal with.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah that’s. It’s a small problem nothing is broken etc. I’m actually in fact going to send the converter away to get modded as apposed to running spacers etc.

My spacers are Tig welded to the converter. One less thing to get wrong…

Yeah that would be ideal, but I can’t see how it would differ from using the correct spacer and having it locktite together.

Using a spacer I also don’t have to drop the box. I can just undo it, walk it back 1 inch and slip it in. Shit loads easier.

Technically it’s not as strong coz the bolts are in double shear, but it does mean box out.

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

ahh autos

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Gave it a nudge today and thanks Ian Ian for spinning me up some spacers I got the box out and then converter sorted today. All that’s left is drop some oil in and fire the car back up. 

I also purchased an auto meter oil pressure gauge, since it’s one thing my ecu doesn’t display on the ic7. Also got a mount of Gary and I’m rather pleased with how it looks.

Very welcome Cav, almost there!

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Box is all done.  Fired her up and we got 40psi on the trans cooler lines. So I’m pretty happy. Tick
