the E6X is hot...

i use the E6X HalWin software to fine tune my maps and then save them over to E6K format to laod them onto my E6K, the Halwin software makes it so much easier and looks much nicer...

i got some modified SR and KA maps from Enthapy and tweaked them a lil for the CA,

keep us posted

Well after my First ECU was Faulty it is now tuned and running well with a New ECU. Made 165KW @rears (220HP) on 15PSI using the Haltech electronic boost controller. Power did reach 175KW but the tuner added a bit of fuel and took out 2 degrees of timing to make sure it was safe and ended up with the 165KW. Goes real well now!!

It never ceases to amaze me how much difference a standalone makes in power. You gained 35KW by doing nothing but tuning the motor better. I'm so glad I've gone that route...
