Product Description
What is an engine management system? Why buy one? How does an engine management system different from a Piggy Back Programmer? This fully programmable Plug and Play 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 requires for maximum output under all operating conditions.
An engine management system is essentially the brain of your vehicle. Aftermarket engine management systems replace your OEM computer (ECU) with a performance version that gives you tunability so that you can maximize the power of your vehicle and optimize the other aftermarket components you have added to your ride. While your stock ECU may be fine for daily driving, it is programmed with a large margin for safety built-in, which in turn sacrifices performance. An engine management system will let you push the limits a little more, while still staying in a safe tuning range, to drastically improve performance throughout the entire power band. Engine management systems are also easily uninstalled if you ever decide to sell your ride or just want a milder tune.
The main difference between an engine management system and a piggy back programmer is that the engine management system completely replaces the ECU, while a piggy back tunes through the stock ECU. This usually means that piggy back setups have limited tuning capabilities due to limited access to the stock ECU from encryption and other security features. Piggy backs ECU usually maintain the stock safety features of the OEM ECU which means there is less risk of destroying your motor. With engine management systems, you gain complete control of all tuning parameters, making them the superior device if you want to really dial in your vehicle. However, it is important to find a competent tuner and utilize a chassis dyno in order to carefully tune your vehicle and prevent premature engine failure.

Memorandum on Haltech Sport GM Applications:
The Haltech platinum sport GM has many applications on early GM fuel injected vehicles from 1985 through until the mid 1990's. The sport GM carries the same connector as GM's popular 1227165 ECU (there are a number of other GM ECU's that also carry this connector including but not limited to, 1227303, 1227747, 1227752, 1227170, 1228746, 16198259, 16198445, 16087373, 16198259). There may be many further applications of the Sport GM ECU that are not listed above so this list is not to be considered as comprehensive it is merely a guide for reference.
Sport GM should plug directly into all of these vehicles and work correctly, it is worth noting that the Haltech Sport GM ECU does not require the cold start injector, canister purge solenoid, EGR valve, SES light, AC pressure switch nor the Mass Airflow Meter to operate. Elimination of these standard GM components makes for a cleaner installation however it may also conflict with local vehicle emissions legislation that require some or all of these parts to be installed. For installation onto hot rod and individually constructed vehicles replacement wiring harnesses with these wires already removed are available from various vendors such as www.fuelinjectionconnection.com.
The Haltech Sport GM ECU is not capable of controlling electronically programmed transmissions such as the 4L60E or the 4L80E, it is however capable of controlling the torque converter lockup on transmissions such as the 700R (later name the 4L60, do not confuse this with the previously mentioned 4L60E, the E at the end designates that the transmission has an electronically controlled shift points – the Haltech Sport GM is not designed to control these electronically controlled transmissions). Transmissions such as the THM400 (Turbo 400) and all manual transmissions require no electronics and are therefore also compatible with the Haltech Sport GM.
