I had sent a few emails to Haltech asking questions about my 10 year old Haltech E6 (engine managment system) , they'd answer the question but also add in "purchase and read the manual".....of course it would take almost a week or more to get a response from them so I mostly figured that was there way of telling me to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pissoff.gif) and figure it out on my own or buy a newer unit.


Well, today I posted a question on another site and mentioned that since the unit was old and used, I had no "dealer" support, which I wouldn't expect to be honest with you. (they confirmed that the person Brad got the unit from wants nothing to do with Haltechs....someone pissed someone off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

I just got an email directly from Haltech stating that it does not matter if my unit is old and used (does that sound right? LOL) they still offer 100% factory support and repair of the unit.

I like that, I will end up buying the manual, since it would have answered the questions I had and still have....heck, it's only 36AUS which is what? About 5 US dollars??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

When I do step up to the plate and buy a newer PEFI, I am seriously going to have a look at Haltechs latest offering which from what I read are top notch and feature all the latest at a very resonable price..IMHO

I really couldnt imagine them not helping you. Norwood was Mr. Haltech for years.. I wonder what happened ?? I would also like to know WHY in the hell they chose NorTex as the US headquarters. They where in several different locations over the years. I stopped in and spoke with them several times.

Not sure, but they way they wrote the letter to me, it sounded like the arrangment went sour in a big way.....maybe something to do with Norwood switching over to selling and supporting MoTec.

I'd like to know, but I'm sure it was something trivial......
(unless a motor got launched and fingers had been pointing at each other for who to blame)

Electromotive TecI/TecII/ and TecIII
Haltech E6 and others

Interesting...I was just on the Motec site and they had a page about stolen Motecs (on auction sites, go figure, LOL) and how they'll add the serial numbers of stolen units to a database and basicly render the units inoperative if the new owners try to load the "enable codes"

Holy $hit...I just read all of the features of the M48.....WOW
