Holley efi VS. Fueltech, Motec, Haltech, ProEfi, Aem, , Etc. Terminator X / HP - Dominator -sniper

Just a look into the ECU's i come in contact with one way or another at my shop and what lead me down the path ive recently been taking.

for all of you who have asked about remote tuning in the last week or so, i have not forgotten about you. i dropped and broke a phone and i just got a new one so i have 1000 messages to reply to.

    I thought I was at a Whitehouse briefing when you said "circle back" but then you actually did circle back so I was relieved to realize you were going to actually give us the information.
  • I've dealt with Scott from Haltech Australia -So helpful with any ECU questions and a real gentleman!
  • @iramirez95020
    First time EFI installer, went with Term X Max with 0 issues on my turbo 5.3L , tunned it with the help of your videos 🤘
  • Haltech is growing really quickly. The new Nexus R5 range is amazing. NSP software is a game changer. Happy 35th Birthday Haltech!
  • @SloppyMechanics
    fantastic overview of all the systems and what people should expect
  • @evil_me
    I've dealt with Holley, haltech, aem, motec, Bosch, megasquirt and others in my shop. The main thing that I used to choose my own ecm is the customer and technical support. In my experience with all the different brands Haltech has always had the best support in my experience. I switched to all Haltech elites on my personal vehicles a few years ago.
  • @sledgiefd9070
    While I’m a Haltech import guy and the support in Oz is amazing, I agree with your Holley decisions for a drag car - watch out Haltech is coming though! Very well presented! Keep up the great work.
  • @spencer2652
    Was about to order the Terminator X for my LS Miata. Watched this video to make sure I wasn't making a mistake. Went back and confirmed my order after watching.
  • @3pedaljay231
    Side note, Mega Squirt offers a ton of features for a crazy affordable price, and some of us still have FAST sir.... LOL
  • @SloppyMechanics
    also agreed, terminator people opened the door to really low experience people calling about self inflicted issues
  • @headgames
    this video helped me tremendously ! I am around so many Motec tuners and agree it's the best. But, I was put off that it would seemingly be an endless expense. Although limited, I can grow a bit with the dominator for my LS. Thanks Joe!
  • @hydrocarbon8272
    The funny thing about the huge price range and motec & life with high-end processors: 9000 rpm is 540,000 tenths of degrees (360x10) per second or 0.54 mHz, and a $5 arduino runs at 16mHz. Certain tasks do take a while, but even the slowest tasks on better arduino-compatible hardware can still execute millions of lines of code per second. In plain words: engines are sloooooow compared to even hobbyist processors. That's why there's literally a $25 arduino being developed for a new cheaper-than-Microsquirt ecu. In reality the physical cases are the most expensive part of the ecu's, and their software interfacing is what costs them the most money. But as Joe explained very well - sometimes you have to pay to play and not all cars have similar needs.
  • there are reasons you typically dont see dominators on big alcohol promods, fuel control isnt really the best on the holley at that level but never seen an issue on smaller builds. Fueltech is second to none on logging, but we have had some issues where we didnt buy fueltech specific sensors or tried to make racepak sensors work and had issues. for the drag racing application the configuration, time based applications, ability to move the log into the time based sections, and live diagnostic functionality are by far superior in the fueltech system. we started using the fueltech power management stuff this past weekend and it works amazing. the engine rpm literally follows within a few rpm of commanded.
  • You killed it with this video. Great information on all systems and plus and minuses
  • @jamesbrown3420
    Tong of good info Joe, Shines light on areas that most wouldn't think of when choosing a system.
  • Well done Joe, thanks. I came to this video from the direction of considering a Holley setup for a conservative, Gen-1 SBC street engine. I watched a couple of Holley's videos, which caused yours to pop up. I'm pretty knowledgeable concerning how multi-point EFI works -- as in, I can troubleshoot any 20th century factory engine management system without too much trouble and with no specialized tools. By covering the whole spectrum, you gave me a great primer course in these systems while also answering the question of what to do in my case. I appreciate that. Liked, subscribed, and archived.

    Matt sent me here, but this was a super spot on video from someone that actually sees it all. Thanks for putting all this together, Cold beer on me one day!
  • I was overwhelmed with all the control module’s before I watched this, thank you for the help and insight.
