Perodua Kancil with Daihatsu EFRL 1.0L Turbo + Haltech Platinum Sprint 500 Installation

 Another Haltech project at R.N.R Autosport,ecu of choice is the Platinum Sprint 500.

The car: A Perodua Kancil with 1000cc 3 cylinder turbo engine or so called Daihatsu EFRL.This engine runs on direct fire coil on plug ignition and multipoint injection from factory.The goal is to use all stock hardware and running on sequential injection and direct fire with the Haltech.In order to do so,a custom made trigger wheel is bolted on the crank pulley to provide additional info for the Haltech ecu to correctly run sequential injection.This need to be done as the Haltech cannot read the stock Daihatsu trigger pattern.It is ok if it is distributored but for us to run direct fire,a trigger and home signal must be present.In this case the trigger is at the crank and home is on the cam.

The ecu package.

 Above is the Sprint500 wiring harness and below is the stock Daihatsu EFRL engine harness.

 The almost finished wiring harness for the Haltech.

 

Another view on the harness before installation into the car.

 This is the custom made trigger wheel mounted on the stock crank pulley and the 1JZ crank angle sensor.The Haltech can'read the stock Daihatsu trigger so we need to have this trigger wheel in order for the Haltech to run on sequential injection and direct fire.The stock Daihatsu trigger on the cam is modified to provide a home signal for no.1 cylinder i.d.

 

Here is the wiring installed,the injector connector still not yet connected.

 Another view on the harness.

The car is done and engine is running well,it starts everytime and now it is up to the owner to tune his little monster.

* 1 Sept 2012:  I have read in the Haltech forums that they now have supported the Daihatsu EF-RL stock trigger wheel,so this is good new for EF-RL owners out there.

4AGE 20V Blacktop + Haltech Platinum Sprint 500

Another Standalone Project for a customer driving a 4AGE 20 Valve Blacktop,this time the chosen engine management is Haltech Platinum Sprint 500.

 

This is whats included in the ECU package.For this project,a full harness install was opted,this is because the old wires is not in good condition and using whole new wiring have its advantages.

 The old wiring is being stripped,and the stock ecu wiring is being separated and pulled out.Only the needed connectors are being saved.On most FWD Toyotas,ecu wiring is bundle together with other wiring such as starter, altenator, and air conditioning, so there is a lot of wires need to be separated and tagged.

The new Haltech harness is being laid out on the stock wiring.

 

 Soldering on progress,all wires soldered and shrink wrapped for trouble free operation.

The finished wiring and installs.This engine run on wasted spark,with stock crank angle sensor still retained. However,the Sprint 500 have the ability to run on complete sequential ignition (4 individual coils) if the owner have enough budget. The engine is completely stock except for the extractor and trumpets.

First time starting is much easier with the VE tuning function on the new Platinum series. Finding base map is quick and idle is much more stable. The car is very much drivable after starting. This whole project takes only 3 nights from wiring to finished dyno tuning.(A total of 8 hours of work)

 The dyno result,almost 137whp but with a lot of torque, which is among the highest torque from stock Blacktop i've tuned. Now before you readers saying 'Why using Haltech only managed to get 137whp',honestly  i am also quite dissapointed with this result as i'm targeting at least 140whp,but since me and the owner never dyno the stock HP output before Haltech installation, we cannot judge this HP output is not good.There is a lot of significant factors that determines each engine output other than the ECU.

Firstly is the engine condition itself, how healthy is the internals, then the specs of the exhaust and other add on parts. 3rd is the fuel used,which in this case is RON95. Stand alone and tuner itself can't do magic without the aid of a good internals.What stand alone can do is optimize over the stock ECU. The only way to know how much improvement this Haltech installation gives is by letting the owner drive the car as he is the only one knows better how his car drives before.

A short test drive after dyno confirmed that a significant increase and power and response by the owner.He said his mid silencer is broken which might affect the HP output, however he's very satisfied with the outcome of the stand alone.Plus that launch rev limiter really excites him :-)

We will be back on the dyno for this project to see how much improvement with mildly ported and polished cylinder head with 0.8mm metal head gasket, new mid silencer and adjustable pulley on the exhaust cam, so stay tuned.
