Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Installation and Wiring Guide Introduction Congratulations on purchasing a Haltech Engine Management System. This fully programmable product opens the door to virtually limitless performance modification and tuning of your vehicle. Programmable systems allow you to extract all the performance from your engine by delivering precisely the required amount of fuel and ignition timing that your engine needs for optimum output under all operating conditions.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from unsuppressed spark plugs and high tension leads can cause the ECU to fail. Please do not use them. In hot climates, or with turbocharged engines, you may need to employ heat shielding to prevent heat soak and damage to electrical and fuel parts. Use the coolest surfaces of the chassis as a heat sink for components and shield any wiring that may be affected by heat.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Tools and Materials that you will need Installation of this system can be easily carried out by professional mechanic(s) and most experienced home mechanics if the following tools and components are available: Voltmeter or Test Light A selection of screwdrivers and spanners Soldering Iron and solder (It is recommended that all connections be soldered except where crimped terminations are used. Soldering crimped terminations can cause the wire at the crimp to become weak.
Installation Guide Note: Installation of engine management systems is a complex exercise to be undertaken only after careful planning and research into the application for which the product is to be used. Damage to engine components is a distinct possibility if care is not taken during the installation and setup of the Haltech Engine Management System. If you are unsure about how to wire any components of your engine, please consult Haltech or an experienced installer for advice.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual wires labelled “injector output” from the ECU providing the ground to switch the injector on and allow the fuel to flow). Connect your fuel pump back to the fuel pump relay. Run the loom from all ignition outputs to ignition modules (often called ignitors or spark amplifiers) but leave the ignition modules disconnected at this stage. See warning at beginning of manual. Connect ignition modules to coils and run wiring for coil(s) power supply back to the relay.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Sensors and Device Pin Outs Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Figure 1 - MAP Sensor The MAP sensor is used to convert the manifold pressure into an electrical signal for the ECU to use. The sensor works in absolute pressures, thus its calibration is not affected by changes in barometric pressure.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Coolant Temperature Sensor The coolant temperature sensor has a solid brass temperature-sensing tip. Refer to the diagram for physical details of the sensor at the back of this manual. The coolant sensor supplied is an industry standard component and some engines may already have provision for this type of sensor. The coolant temperature sensor is designed to screw into a threaded hole and protrude into the engine coolant stream.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Throttle Position Sensor Figure 4 - Throttle Position Sensor The throttle position sensor is mounted to the throttle butterfly shaft to measure its rotation. A TPS is common on many late model engines and the Haltech sensor should attach with little or no modification. The throttle shaft must protrude from the side of the throttle body. This may require the machining of the throttle body or the manufacture of a new throttle shaft.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 5 - Haltech Dual Channel Ignition Module Warning If using “Intelligent” ignitors such as the old Bosch 008 ignition module (rare), Constant Duty Cycle Mode should be selected in the Ignition Setup Page. If using a “Dumb” ignitor (Most standard ignitors are dumb, as are modern Haltech ignitors), the Constant Charge Mode should be selected in the ignition setup page.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Power Relays There are three relays used with the Haltech ECU, the main power relay, the ignition relay and the fuel pump relay. These relays look almost identical, to determine which relay should go into which connector the diagram on the side or top of the relay will need to be compared to the diagram in the Haltech wiring diagram. Figure 7 - Power Relay These relays should be mounted on the firewall or an inner guard.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual There are two main types of sensor used for this application; Reluctor Sensor Types Variable Reluctance Transducers (VRT or simply reluctor) – this kind of sensor produces a sine wave output. Generally a VRT sensor will have only 2 wires (a third wire may be present but its generally a shield wire to help protect the signal from “noise”).
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Because the output from a hall effect sensor is already in digital form the ECU does not need to do any signal conditioning to be able to use it. When given the option a hall effect sensor is always the best option to put on an engine and it reduces the amount of work required of the ECU.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Wiring Injectors When wiring fuel injectors all Injectors share a common +12V supply voltage with the ECU INJ output supplying the ground for the injector when fuel delivery is required. It is also essential for the +12V supply voltage to the injector to be the same +12V supply that goes to the ECU. If using the Haltech long flying lead harness this is already preterminated, if you are wiring your own harness you will need to ensure you make this connection.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Direct Fire Multi-Coil Ignition (1 coil per cylinder) Wire each ignition output to its corresponding coil with IGN1 output wired to cylinder 1’s coil/Ignitor, IGN2 output wired to cylinder 2’s coil/Ignitor etc. The firing order for ignition will be taken from the firing order that is specified in the Main Setup in the programming software.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Setup Guide This section will guide you through setting up the software and calibrating the necessary values to enable you to start your engine and achieve a steady idle. By the end of this section, the vehicle will not be ready to be driven, but will be ready to be tuned which is described in the Tuning Guide in section 3. This setup guide assumes basic knowledge of automotive fuel, ignition and triggering systems.

Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Powering Up for the first time WARNING Now is the time to double check that your ignition modules and fuel injectors are not connected to the ECU. Powering up the ECU with the wrong configuration can lead to damage to your ignition modules and/or ignition coils or excessive fuel deposited in your engine if you leave these devices connected.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 22 - Halwin Online Setup Menus Main Setup If the map for your engine is unavailable for your vehicle, then you will need to create your own settings by following through the settings below.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Engine Config Group • Engine Type – Select your Engine type, Piston (reciprocating) engine or Rotary engine. • No of Cylinders - Set this field to the number of cylinders your engine contains if you are configuring for a piston engine • No of Rotors – Set this field to the number of Rotors when configured for a Rotary engine Type. • Load Sensing - Set this to match the load sensing method you are using.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Rev Limit Type – Select which output the Rev Limiter will use - Fuel or Ignition. Note: Be careful when using “Ignition” for Rev Limiting on vehicles with Catalytic Converters. Unburned fuel can overheat and damage the converter. • Rev Cut Type – The method for cut-out to Ignition or Fuel can be either Hard or Soft. Hard cut is an instant stop to Fuel or Ignition and Soft Cut is a progressive or gradual cut (see figure xx).
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual is causing a problem, then increase the Dead Band value slightly higher than the jitter or fluctuation value read from the TPS Engine Data Page reading. Typical values are around 0.5% to 2%.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Firing Order The firing order table is filled out with respect to cylinder number 1.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Listed below are typical cylinders angles for typical firing order, piston engines.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual The Trigger and Ignition setup pages are the most Important part of any Installation!. Getting these settings wrong or not understanding them will lead you into problems. The ECU has no idea what is connected to it or what it supposed to see. This is why the settings must be properly set to suit the application. The other issue is making sure the ECU can interface to the sensor(s) which different types of signals like Hall Effect signals and Reluctor (Magnetic sensor).
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Trigger System Type Fuel Mode Supported Ignition Mode Supported Description Standard No Home Multipoint Batch Distributor Used for engines that run a standard trigger that provides a single pulse for each cylinders ignition event. i.e. A standard trigger for a 8Cylinder engine will have 8 pulses, each with an edge that is always the same angle with respect to TDC of the next cylinder to reach TDC.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Motronic 60-2 Distributor Waste Spark These are typically magnetic pickups that are located on the crank. This style of pickup looks as if it should have 60 evenly spaced teeth however there are 2 teeth missing leaving only 58 teeth with a gap the width of 2 teeth at one location. These are commonly found on European cars such as Audi, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagon.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Subaru MY01 Multipoint Batch Semisequential Sequential Twin Distributor Waste Spark Direct fire coils For Subaru 4 cylinder EJ20 series engines in 2001 and later WRX and Forrester GT. Rotary Triggers Fuel Mode Supported Ignition Mode Supported Description 2 or 3 pulse Trig Rotary Multipoint Batch Sequential Distributor (with toggle) Waste Spark Direct Fire For rotary engines that have standard trigger style trigger adapted to them.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • The Following Filter and Gain settings are only available in Reluctor Mode The ECU needs to see a clean Trigger signal before it can start controlling the engine. If you are having problems you have the option of adjusting the signal quality. In cases where the signal is too weak and or not enough signal strength, you can use the Gain settings to boost the signal.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Ignition Setup Figure 29 - Ignition Setup Page Timing Group • Lock Timing - When this setting is checked, the ignition advance is fixed to the value described in Lock Degrees BTDC. • Lock Degrees BTDC - The ignition advance angle used when Lock Timing is enabled. • Trigger Angle BTDC - This is the angle between the trigger input and the corresponding piston’s (or rotor’s) TDC.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Tooth Offset and Trigger Angle Relationship Tooth offset and trigger angle are closely related and are best explained visually so see below for a visual representation off the tooth offset. Figure 30: Trigger Angle and Tooth Offset Visually Outlined The tooth offset is the number of teeth between the home event and the tooth that is chosen to be the trigger tooth. In the example above the home event is the missing tooth.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 31: Ignition Setup Page Set lock timing to ON and lock timing angle to 10 degrees. Crank engine, using a timing light connected to ignition lead for number 1 cylinder adjust the tooth offset and trigger angle until timing reads 10 degrees as viewed with a timing light on crank pulley. Tooth offset gives large changes to timing, trigger angle is used to fine tune timing to exactly 10 degrees (any angle can be used as the lock timing angle.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Ignition Mode Group • Spark Mode - This mode must be set to the type of ignition system that is to be used on the engine.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Rising Edge Triggered - Some Honda and CDI style ignition modules are known to be rising edge triggered. These modules expect to see a naturally high signal. When the voltage falls to 0V, the module charges the coil. When the voltage returns to 12V, the spark is fired.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Fuel Setup Figure 35 - Fuel Setup Page Decel Cut Parameter Group Deceleration cut is a feature that stops the fuel injectors from injecting fuel when the throttle position is zero and the engine speed is above the Decel Cut RPM. To ensure that the transition to fuel cut is smooth, the ignition timing is retarded slightly before the fuel is cut. Likewise, when the fuel is restored, the injectors resume normal injection and the ignition timing advances back to normal.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Decel Cut Delay - This is the time in seconds that the ECU will wait before starting the decel cut phase, after seeing a zero throttle condition. This delay stops any unwanted fuel cutting or ignition changes between gear changes or momentary zero throttle conditions. • Max Decel Cut Retard - The amount of ignition retard used to smooth the transitions to fuel cut.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Note the rate of change of throttle position is how far the throttle moves over a 10ms time frame. A fast throttle movement could have a TPS rate of change of 15% this means that in a time frame of 10ms the throttle position moved 15%. A slow throttle movement could have a TPS rate of change of 1%, which means that in a time frame of 10ms the throttle position only moved 1%.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Overall Trim The trim value scales the fuel enrichment. 0% makes no changes to the fuel enrichment. 100% will add an extra 100% fuel to the enrichment. Range: 0.0 – 300.0 %. Default: 100.0 %. Throttle Pump Maps Enrichment Sensitivity Map This map allows for the tuning of the amount of enrichment needed according to a given RPM and throttle position.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Throttle Pump Map Enable - Click on this check box to enable throttle pumps enrichment. • Injectors Enable - Click on this check box to enable the injectors. This feature is often used when setting up ignition timing. • Injector Current Setup – Haltech ECUs have intelligent injector control circuitry that allows for many different makes and models of injectors to be run without the need for resistor packs.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Multipoint mode - Injection is the most basic form of injection that fires all injectors simultaneously. This mode of injection does not require any home or reference signal to operate. The angle of injection is not defined, and the injection angle map is not used. The frequency of injection is defined by the Ignition Divide By parameter.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual The following table is a recommended setting for Ignition Divide By values for various fuel injection modes and typical piston engines. Number of Cylinders Mode of Injection Ignition Divide By Injections per rev (per cylinder) 4 Multipoint 2 1 6 Multipoint 3 1 8 Multipoint 4 1 4 Batch 1 1 6 Batch NA NA* 8 Batch 2 1 *Note: 6 cylinder batch injection is not suggested.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Sensor Setup The Haltech Halwin software allows the user to calibrate sensor inputs to their own calibration, this is useful when using a vehicles OEM sensors or when haltech sensors cannot be used for some other reason. Calibrating The Throttle The throttle sensor must be calibrated so that the ECU knows the start and stop positions of the sensor.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Program Setup Program Setup allows the Halwin software to be customised for your preferences. No settings in this dialog affect the operation of the vehicle. Currently, program setup allows the selection of which serial communications port to use and for selection of Imperial and Metric units. Configuration Text The tuning of a map is dependent upon many factors that are outside the control of the ECU.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Options Menu Firmware Update This option should not be used unless you are instructed to update your firmware to fix a problem, or you have purchased an upgrade that required firmware to be updated. Under no circumstances should firmware be updated to a more recent firmware just for the sake of using the latest firmware. Warning: Before updating firmware, ensure that the ECU is turned on, but the engine is not running.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 44 - Firmware Update 46% Complete When the status reaches, 100% wait for the dialog to present an OK button. Press OK to complete the firmware update. You should now reset your ECU by turning the ignition off then back on. The new firmware should now be loaded into the ECU. The process is not yet finished. Check your firmware information again to ensure that the firmware has indeed been updated to the correct version.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual If the firmware update continues to fail please contact your Haltech dealer. Firmware Version Information In order to assist in supporting our product, the firmware information may be necessary in order to diagnose any support issues that may arise. In addition to this purpose, the firmware information is also a useful way to verify that a firmware update operation has been successfully performed.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Auxiliary Output Options The Auxiliary output options page allows all spare ignition or injection outputs that are not used for ignition or injection duties, to be configured for auxiliary devices such as tachometer output signals and turbo wastegate solenoids. If the output is used by an ignition or fuel channel, then any auxiliary function configured for that channel will be ignored.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Edit panel contains the parameters required to be setup for each output function. Included in every set of parameters is the ability to invert the output of the signal. Inverting the output signal does not allow the output to drive a +12V signal, the output from the driver will still be a ground output when switched on – inverting the output swaps the “off” and “on” signals – so what would be “on” in normal mode is “off” in inverted mode.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • RPM Threshold - A/C output is disabled when the engine speed exceeds this RPM. This is to prevent over revving the air con compressor on some high performance engines. • Time Interval (s) - In order to prevent the A/C compressor from making rapid transitions with rapid changes in throttle, the minimum time interval between on and off transitions can be specified here.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual The extra pump must be connected in parallel with the primary fuel pump. The Figure below suggests a possible layout. The check valve is necessary to prevent fuel from being forced in the wrong direction. Connect the power to the pump via a relay as shown. Either the positive or negative side may be switched through the relay.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual BAC Low - The BAC low output is used to control the BAC valve when the target opening is 0% to 50% open. When the valve target position is 0%, the output duty is 100%. When the target is 50% open, the output duty is zero to allow the spring to return the valve to its default position. BAC Inverted - For 3-wire BAC valves that do not have a spring to return the valve to the centre position, use BAC and BAC Inverted to control the valve.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Boost Control Open Loop Open loop boost control allows the user to set a predefined duty cycle for the boost control solenoid to run at, this duty cycle is set in the “wastegate control map”. The ECU will run the boost control solenoid at the desired duty cycle regardless of the actual boost the engine is creating. Figure 53 Refer to tuning section for details on how to setup and tune open loop boost control.

Figure 61 - Generic Road Speed Switch Generic RPM Switch – Output is switched only once the programmed engine RPM is reached and remains on until the engine RPM drops below the programmed engine RPM..
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Ignition Bypass Bypass signal compatible with some General Motors ignition systems. This function allows the ignition system to provide the spark at 10° BTDC at cranking speeds (below 500rpm). This aids starting, once the engine is running the bypass signal allows the ECU to have full timing control. This feature is only used on bypass line equipt GM ignition systems.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Intercooler spray armed When the “Intercooler Spray Input” is set to a “momentary switch” this output alerts the user to what state the input button is in (this feature is commonly used when connected to the factory mitsibishi evo 9 dash). Nitrous Activation Signal This function controls the operation of a NOS system.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual correction to the mixtures in case there is a minor lean out. You must supply sufficient fuel for the NOS system by other means also to ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Shift Light Shift lights can be setup for any RPM from 0 – 16000RPM. You can setup more than one shift light on separate outputs.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 68 - Tacho output • Tacho Duty - Duty cycle used to drive the tachometer. • Tacho Pulses Per Rev - The number of pulses per engine revolution that the tachometer expects. On a 4-stroke piston engine, this is typically the number of cylinders divided by two. PWM output #1 is suggested to be used as the tacho output as PWM 1 is the only output that has a programmable signal pullup required for some factory tachometers.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 70 - Thermofan Output • Coolant Temp High - Thermo fan turns on at this temperature • Coolant Temp Low - Thermo fan turns off at this temperature.

Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual To use the TCC function, you must have the following: A square wave signal road speed indicator whose frequency is proportional to road speed. (This may require a reluctor adaptor for signal conditioning.) Access to the wiring of the torque converter lockup solenoid and 4th gear/over-temp switch Wire the TCC solenoid to the appropriate output line on the output connector, and, if it is available, the 4th gear/over-temp signal to the appropriately configured Input.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 73 - Turbo Timer Output Wiring Figure 74 - Turbo Timer Output Setup Parameters • Air Temp - The turbo timer keeps the engine on while the air temperature is above this temperature. • Coolant Temp - The turbo timer keeps the engine on while the coolant temperature is above this temperature. • Max Time - The turbo timer will turn the engine off when this time is exceeded after the ignition is turned off.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Propional Co-eff - The speed at which the control system updates, typically between 10 – 50 depending on how quickly the system needs to react. • Minimum Coolant Temp - The temperature at which the VANOS system will begin its operation, below this temperature the camshafts will remain in the fully retarded position. • Deadband - The degree of accuracy required, a deadband of 3 and the system would control the camshaft position within 3 degrees of the target position.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual When setting up Variable Cam Control for the first time default values may need to be added into the “PID settings” These can be accessed by clicking on the “Adjust PID settings” button. Default values should be set as follows: Figure 76 - Variable Cam Timing Advanced PID Settings Refer to tuning guide section for detailed instruction on how to setup and tune variable cam timing.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Water Injection Activation To help improve the detonation resistance of an engine, water injection is sometimes used. The water helps to cool the intake charge and increase the resistance to detonation when it forms a vapour in the combustion chamber. The water injection is activated by the following parameters. Figure 78 - Water Injection Control Output • Load - The water injection enables when the load rises above this value.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Analogue Input Options • Fuel Trim - With the optional trim module attached to an analogue input, the injection times can be adjusted with the trim module. Typically the trim module is used when firing up engines for the first time to make quick adjustments to fuel. The trim can be setup for Coarse (±50%), Medium (±25%) and Fine (±12.5%) adjustment. Trims can also be dash mounted for changes to mixtures on the fly whilst driving if desired.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Fuel Pressure Sensor – This input enables the ECU the display and datalog fuel pressure via a fuel pressure sensor. • Oil Pressure Sensor – This input enables the ECU the display and datalog engine oil pressure via an oil pressure sensor.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Transmission Overheat – Some factory vehicles are fitted with a transmission overheat switch that alerts the user to the fact that the transmission temperature is high. • Anti-Lag Rally Application Switch - When “antilag rally mode” is selected and the “switch” is required this input needs to be setup. The switch is “on” when grounded. See tuning section for more details of setting up and tuning antilag rally mode.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • VANOS Ref Signal - For control of BMWs VANOS system two signal inputs are required. The VANOS ref signal reads the fixed 8 pulse signal on the camshaft. • VANOS Inlet Cam Signal - the VANOS Inlet Cam digital timed input can be connected to read the variable (moving) 8 pulse signal on the camshaft of a VANOS equipt engine. • Intercooler Spray Input – When using intercooler spray advanced this input is required to be enabled before the intercooler spray will activate.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Starting Your Engine If your engine is a freshly built engine, make sure that you prime the engine oil system by cranking it with no spark plugs and the injectors disconnected. Crank until the engine oil pressure turns off any warning lights and oil pressure gauges (if fitted) read sufficient oil pressure. Disable Injectors - To avoid accumulating unburnt fuel in your engine, make sure you disable your injectors before you crank the engine when setting up.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Tuning Guide Introduction Before you begin this section of the manual, make sure that you are able to start your engine and achieve a steady idle. This section of the manual will guide you through the tuning of your fuel, ignition and correction maps for your vehicle. The Halwin software controls for tuning maps will be covered in this section in detail. This Tuning Guide assumes basic knowledge of automotive fuel, ignition and triggering systems.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 80 - 3D Maps With the 3D map opened, you should see a screen similar to the one below Figure 81 - 3D Maps Copyright © Haltech 2008 Page: 77
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual The axes of the map are Load and RPM. The height of the map represents the base injection time in milliseconds. The selected bar appears in yellow. The current engine load and RPM is indicated by the ‘Home Pointer’ arrow that hovers over the nearest corresponding bar. 2D Map Mode Figure 82 - 2D Maps Basic Software Keys To modify the fuel and ignition maps the following keys will be the most commonly used commands to change a map value.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Numeric Mode To view the map data in its most basic form, the numeric values can be displayed and edited in table form. The highlighted green pointers to the right of the 2D map are the “Home” markers that indicates the value closest to the current engine operating parameters. Figure 83 - Text View Maps The values from this table can be copied and pasted into Microsoft Excel if required.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Halwin 2D Maps There are other tables in the ECU, such as those used for temperature corrections. They are indexed by only one parameter, and so are not divided into ranges. These tables are also called maps. An example of this is the 3D coolant temperature map as shown below. Figure 85 - 2D Temperature Correction Map Fuel Maps WARNING Driving a vehicle over time, on poorly tuned maps can lead to engine damage over that period.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Warm the engine up to operating temperature. Adjust the idle control or throttle stops to enable the engine to idle at the desired engine speed. While watching the A/F meter, adjust your idle mixtures as lean as possible whilst ensuring that you can maintain a steady idle without any misfiring. While leaving the engine un-loaded, rev the engine in neutral through the rev range over which the engine will be operated. Set all the mixtures close to 14.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Full load tuning should be approached with caution. An engine at full load that is too lean may begin to detonate and cause damage to engine components. Before loading the engine, increase the heights of the right-most bars so that they are higher than the line projected by drawing a straight line from the idle and free-rev settings and through the part-load settings.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 86 - Target AFR Map With a correctly configured wideband O2 sensor input and the target AFR map set to the desired air to fuel ratio the quicktune feature is ready to be used. To use the quicktune feature open the fuel map, with the fuel map open pressing the “Q” key on the keyboard activates quicktune and adjusts the fuel map value for the current load point the engine is operating at.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Ignition Maps WARNING Driving a vehicle over time, on poorly tuned maps can lead to engine damage over that period. Before adjusting ignition, ensure that your fuel maps provide a safe operating Air/Fuel ratio. When adjusting ignition, always ensure that the engine does not detonate or ping over all the engine speeds and loads at which you intend to operate the vehicle. The E11 ECU has two ignition maps from which the ignition advance angle is calculated.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual engine speed. You will achieve maximum power by aiming for maximum torque at all engine speeds. Tuning For Idle Typical idle speeds usually sit between 500 RPM and 1000 RPM. In order to assist the idle control mechanism to achieve a steady engine speed, it is advisable to ensure that the ignition advance at the idle loads between 500 and 1000 RPM are similar if not the same.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Fuel Correction Maps Air Temperature Correction This map compensates for the change in density of the intake air charge when the intake air temperature changes. Colder air is more dense which requires more fuel to be added in order to maintain a steady combustible mixture. The Fuel Air Correction Map is accessed via the Fuel Maps and Set-up Menu. Across the bottom of the map displayed is the inlet air temperature.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 90 - Coolant Temperature Correction Map Battery Voltage The Haltech ECU uses intelligent fuel injection driver circuitry that compensates for changes in battery voltage. As the battery voltage falls, the injectors will take longer to turn on and so reduce the effective open time. To compensate, the ECU applies the Battery Voltage Map to increase the injector ‘on’ time as the voltage drops. This map can also be considered as an injector dead time map.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Prime To aid in starting a cold engine, the prime map defines how much fuel to inject on the first cycle on injections for each cylinder or rotor. The fuel injection opening times in this map are much larger than what can be programmed in the base fuel maps. An A/F meter will not be very helpful in setting up this map since the time that this map is used is so short. A process of trial and error is the easiest way to set this map up.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 93 - Post Start Fuel Map Barometric Pressure If you are using MAP for load sensing on your engine, then it is unlikely that you will need to worry about Barometric compensation for fluctuations in ambient barometric pressure. If you are using TPS for load sensing, Zero Throttle maps or Full throttle maps, then read on to learn how to configure Barometric Pressure compensation maps. Fluctuations in barometric pressure vary the density of the intake air of the engine.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual bar due to the interpolation between the two bars. If you are experiencing difficulties maintaining air to fuel ratio at full throttle, it may be necessary to use the Full Throttle Map to set the full throttle mixtures. The Full Throttle Map is activated above the value set in the Full Throttle Threshold in the Fuel Set-up, and has one programmable bar every 500 rpm up to 15500 rpm.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual The throttle pump setup allows the tuning of: How much enrichment is needed for a given RPM, throttle position and TPS rate of change. The biasing of the enrichment between asynchronous* and synchronous* according to a given RPM. The speed at which the synchronous enrichment decays. Note the rate of change of throttle position is how far the throttle moves over a 10ms time frame.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Range: 0.0 – 10.0 %. Default: • 0.5 %. Delay Between Enrich Events The minimum time between asynchronous enrichment events. This is to stop excess fuelling when constantly pumping the throttle. Range: 0.00 – 2.00 sec. Default: • 0.80 sec. Overall Trim The trim value scales the fuel enrichment. 0% makes no changes to the fuel enrichment. 100% will add an extra 100% fuel to the enrichment. Range: 0.0 – 300.0 %. Default: 100.0 %.

Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual detect only the cruise and light load conditions and only uses O2 closed loop correction under these conditions. It is not recommended to use O2 closed loop when under high loads and engine speeds where mixtures should be richer than stoichiometric to ensure cool operation of the engine and higher margins against detonation.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual stoichiometric voltage of the O2 sensor that is being used. Typically for a narrowband this is 600mV. The Haltech Wideband allows the user to enter in a target AFR instead. • Load Select - Choose if TPS or MAP sensor or both will disable O2 control. If set to both only one them has to fail for O2 control to be disabled. • Throttle Limit (%) - If load select is TPS or both, any throttle position above this percentage disables O2 control.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Increase the ‘Proportional’ value until the correction starts to oscillate. Bring the value back down to make it stop. A good way to check for this is to display the O2 Correction in the trace view in the ‘Data Log Page (Custom Engine Data)’. • Repeat Step 5 for the ‘Integral’ value.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Ignition Correction Maps Air Temperature Correction As the air temperature of the intake charge increases, so does the susceptibility of the engine to pinging or detonating. This Map allows up to 10° advance or retard of the spark timing based on the inlet air temperature. Normally this Map would not need to be used, but in some cases such as high inlet air temperatures on turbo/supercharged engine, retarding the spark may help preserve the engine.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Cranking Map The ignition timing is taken from this map when the RPM is less than the value of the Max Cranking RPM parameter. See main setup section. If the timing is set too low, the engine will be difficult to start. If it is set too high, you may experience “back cranking” where an early ignition will cause the motor to stop cranking. Back cranking can cause damage to starter motors and the associated mechanism.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual The height of this map is angle at which the trailing spark trails the leading spark. If a flat map at the height of 10 degrees is set, then the trailing spark will always fire 10 degrees after the leading spark. The Rotary Engine Ignition Split Map is a 3D map that allows adjustment depending upon load and engine speed. See Halwin User Guide section for details on the controls used to tune this map.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Typical Values for BAC Valve Figure 106 - BAC Idle Control Parameters Setup of BAC Valve Idle Control The following steps will guide you through a method to setup and tune your idle control. • Ensure that your Fuel and Ignition maps are well tuned and warm your engine up to operating temperature. • Make sure that your throttle is properly calibrated so that throttle position in the engine data reads zero percent when you are completely off throttle.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Adjust the ‘Warm Min Duty’ so it is about 5% below where the BAC valve is sitting when the idle is controlled. • Steps 4 – 6 will need to be repeated for when the engine is cold.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Post Start Offset Position - On start up, this opens up the stepper motor to help start the engine by allowing more air. This value is added on to the ‘Start Position’. This new calculated value is used when the ECU is initialized and the engine is not running and also for the first three seconds of the engine running. Air Con RPM Increment - This value is added to the ‘Target RPM’. It is done to handle the extra load when the air con is turned on.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Setup of Stepper Motor Idle Control The following steps will guide you through a method to setup and tune your idle control. 1. Ensure that your Fuel and Ignition maps are well tuned and warm your engine up to above the warm temp in the ‘Temperature Range’. 2. Make sure that your throttle is properly calibrated so that throttle position in the engine data reads zero percent when you are completely off throttle. 3.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Turbo Wastegate Control Description The wastegate of a turbo is operated when the manifold pressure acting on the diaphragm within the wastegate actuator overcomes the return spring allowing exhaust gas to bypass the turbine. With electronic boost control, the object is to use a pulsating solenoid to bleed off the manifold pressure signal seen by the waste gate unit so that it can see only a fraction of the manifold pressure.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual WARNING Adjusting the boost levels for a turbo engine can alter its fuel requirements drastically. If the fuel requirements are not tuned simultaneously with changes in boost characteristics, engine damage could result. To avoid engine damage, watch your Air/Fuel ratios very carefully when increasing boost. Also check that your fuel system will be capable of delivering the required fuel for the increase in boost.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 110 - Closed Loop Boost Control Parameters Settings • TWG Frequency - Frequency (Hz) that the waste gate solenoid will run at. A Typical value for the Haltech waste gate solenoid is a frequency of 20 – 30 Hz. • Start Duty Cycle - This is the duty cycle that the waste gate will go to when closed loop boost control begins. This duty cycle should cause the boost to read somewhere below the target boost level.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Setup of Closed Loop Boost Control • Set the ‘Closed Loop Boost Target Map’ at the boost level that you want to run across the whole RPM range. • Setup the closed loop boost control in the Auxiliary Outputs Page. Click the ‘Adjust PID settings’ edit button and check that the Proportional, Integral and Derivative Coefficients are all set to their default values.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Variable Cam Timing Control Variable cam timing control will control the angle at which the cam operates according to what RPM and Load the engine is currently at. The idea behind cam control is to move the position of the cam to a certain angle that will change the efficiency of the engine and therefore improve the power made across a certain RPM range where the extra power wouldn’t normally be made with a static cam.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Settings Cam Input Settings • Edge - Selects if the signal triggers off the falling or rising edge. Changing edges will require a reset. • Cam Trigger Angle - The angle between TDC and when the intake cam is at its most retarded position. • RPM Filter Start - The RPM at which the software filtering done by the ECU begins. • Min Angle - When the software filtering starts any angle that the ECU sees below this value is considered erroneous.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure 112 - Variable Cam Timing Control Parameters Variable Cam Timing Control Setup If the cam timing fluctuates or oscillates, reduce the PID parameters slowly until the oscillation stops. If the cam timing is slow to reach the target, increase the PID parameters slowly until it begins to oscillate and then reduce the values slightly. The derivative term will usually stay at zero. 1. Zero the VCT Cam Angle Map and make sure the engine is up to operating temperatures. 2.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Tuning Tips • If using a VCT input signal coming through on the home ‘VCT Control Input 1’ is disabled. • The trace view in the ‘Data Log Page’ is a good tool to use to see the cam position follow the target position. • In the area in the map where the load is equivalent to the engine at idle and a few bars above it, set it across the whole RPM range, to 0 degrees cam angle.

Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Appendix A: Electronic Engine Management Overview While the technology involved with electronic fuel injection is complex, the underlying principles of its operation are really quite straightforward. The object of any fuel delivery system in a gasoline engine is to determine the amount of air being drawn by the engine, and supply the appropriate quantity of fuel to "burn" all the oxygen in that mass of air.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Fuel Systems The best EFI installation will yield poor results if the fuel system does not meet the demands of the engine. Insufficient fuel flow can lead to engine lean out and detonation that could cause serious damage. For the safety of your engine, we urge you to check your fuel system's capacity and ensure that there will be sufficient supply at all times.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual maximum power. With the engine switched off (injectors closed) feed the return line of the fuel pressure regulator to a measuring container. In the case of a turbo- or supercharged engine, pressurise the manifold pressure port of the fuel pressure regulator to the maximum boost of the engine. This is necessary as the flow rate of the pump decreases with output pressure. Power the pump for one minute and calculate the hourly fuel flow rate of the pump.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual WARNING Never send a constant duty cycle waveform to a Dumb Ignition Module. Using a constant duty cycle signal on a dumb ignition module will cause the ignition coils to be damaged from overcharging. Ignition modules will be damaged as a consequence. Smart Ignitors Smart ignition modules are less common and control the dwell or charge time for the coils automatically. They require a different signal from the ECU.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual • Rising Edge Triggered – Some Honda and CDI style ignition modules are known to be rising edge triggered. These modules expect a 12V input signal when idle. When the voltage falls to 0V, the module charges the coil. When the voltage returns to 12V, the spark is fired. Voltage 4ms Charge time +12V Spark Edge GND Time The Coil Negative Signal The coil’s charge time can be determined from the coil -ve signal.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Make sure that you set the ignition output trigger edge correctly. If set to the wrong edge, the timing will be out by significant amount and engine damage may result. Appendix B: Trigger Sensors (Crank Sensors) Rotor Phasing One of the most important aspects to consider when modifying a distributor or trigger is the Rotor Phasing. As an example, consider a distributor that uses a Hall effect sensor with a chopper wheel attached to the distributor shaft.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual conjunction with the internal reluctor adaptor or an optional external reluctor adaptor. A reluctor adaptor converts the sine-like wave signal from the reluctor sensor to a square wave signal. The actual value of this ‘high’ voltage is not important because it is the transition from ‘low’ to ‘high’, or ‘high’ to ‘low’ that is used to trigger the ECU.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual Figure E.3 Trigger Devices The output of Hall effect, Optical, or Magnetic Inductive (Reluctor) sensors could normally be connected directly to the input trigger pin of the ECU. Many distributors used in original equipment manufacturer’s computer controlled ignition systems would be fitted with Hall / Optical triggers.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual generate a voltage similar to figure E.5 on the positive wire. The amplitude of the signal will vary with the speed at which the ferrous metal passes the pole piece. At low speeds the signal may only be several hundred millivolts, but at high speeds it could rise to 20 volts or more. The sudden drop in the signal from positive to negative seen in figure E.5 corresponds to the metal being directly in line with the sensor.
Haltech E11/E8 Instruction Manual more information on S3 and S4 Hall effect trigger systems. Multi-Tooth Trigger These triggers are typically found on Toyota, Honda and Mazda rotary engines.
