New Haltech products at PRI...

[C. Ludwig]

Haltech has been working on a series of modules that will connect to the ECUs via the CAN network. I had been shown an EGT module early this year, but the better news was at the PRI show. Look for the following soon after the first of the year:

- CAN I/O expansion module - These come in 4 and 8 channel flavors and will allow expansion of the number of inputs and outputs of the ECU. Each channel can be used for PWM or simple switched outputs, digital or analog inputs. Have a Sprint 500/RE ECU with no configurable inputs or outputs? Add this module and you can now use the advanced features of the Sport series!

- CAN EGT expansion module - As above, this will be a 4 channel module that allows interface of a K-type thermocouple to any of the Sprint/Sport/Pro ECUs.

- CAN hub module - Unfortunately, you will only be able to add one CAN module to the ECU without using a hub module. So, if you want to stack the I/O and EGT modules, you will need to purchase the hub module.

- 15 amp ignitor - Not a CAN interface, but exciting none the less. The Bosch ignitors that Haltech currently offers are limited to around 7 amps output. The new ignitors will be capable of 15 amps per channel to drive a hotter coil and/or allow a quicker saturation. These ignitors can pull double duty as an injector driver.
