He co-founded one of the top (and earliest) standalone ECU companies on earth, helped develop unique V10 F1 engines, created ignition systems for top-tier motorsports, and finished it all off by producing stock-frame turbocharger upgrades that push the limits of what a factory turbo is capable of.Mark Boxsell has had a varied and fascinating career in the performance industry, and he's ready to unpack it all in this episode of Tuned In.Use GTPUMPS100 to get $100 off HPA's Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/starterbHaving grown up on a farm in rural Australia that instilled a drive towards resourcefulness and ingenuity, by his early twenties, Mark Boxsell would latch on to the emerging EFI revolution and create his own fuel injection system for his personal Mazda rotary. And that was just the start.  Mark went on to invent one of the world's first aftermarket standalone ECUs, which we all know today as Haltech. In this episode, we get straight into the mind-blowing history of how Haltech came about, discussing what was involved in creating it, the incredibly basic tools he had at his disposal to make it happen, and how it actually worked.We next discuss Mark's stint developing a unique V10 Formula 1 engine that used rotary valves instead of the traditional poppet valves. Mark goes into detail about how it worked, and why we never saw it on the grid. Then it's time to talk about ignition systems, which Mark knows a lot about as one of the founders of M&W Ignition — which supplies series like Australia's top-tier V8 Supercars.We finish the episode off by moving into Mark's current venture, GT Pumps. This company specialises in stock-frame turbocharger upgrades, which are currently aimed squarely at the WRX and Evo markets. This gets into some heavy turbo tech, covering the benefits of journal-bearing turbos, stock turbo system capabilities, and more.If you're into tuning history and love a dose of nostalgia, this episode with Mark Boxsell is an absolute must-listen. Follow Mark here:IG: @gtpumpsFB: GTpumpsWWW: gtpumps.com.auDon't forget, you can use GTPUMPS100 to get $100 off HPA's Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/starterbTimestamps:0:00 The Best Stock Turbo System?3:43 How did you get into the automotive industry?7:57 Why did you decide to try and make your own EFI?

Running a 725hp Texas Speed LS-based build and TREMEC Magnum transmission, Cam Cocalis has followed on from his LS3 V8 Toyota 86 build with a full chromoly tube frame BMW E30 Vert project and pushed himself to dive into some new build aspects, a C6 Corvette suspension swap in particular, as he continues to learn the ins and outs of fabrication and custom car building.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inAt the ‪@toyotires‬ booth during ‪@semashow‬ Cam gives us some insight into his welding progression and working process without the use of CAD, with that being a skill he wishes to learn during future projects. The CSF triple pass radiator is rear mounted to aid with weight distribution, and interestingly, this model of E30 came with rear ballast from the BMW factory. The Radium Engineering fuel system behind the Ford 8.8 rear diff also helps to get weight over the rear and a 48/52 split.The Redux Racing ITB-equipped 7L LS-based engine is controlled by a suite of Haltech electronics, and a Live To Offend kit is fitted to the E30 care of SOS Customs handiwork. We didn't get a rundown on the full brake package, but a Wilwood pedal box is equipped which will serve Cam well if he decides to hit the track for some time attack racing in the future.

Shawn of TunedByShawn and DRSC Automotive joins us to share some fun stories of the vehicles he has tuned and worked on, and of course some insight to his love for Haltech. Support those that support us! Haze Performance: https://hazeperf.com Tuned By Shawn: https://www.tunedbyshawn.com

Base maps are one of the first hurdles in any tuning project, and while they often seem daunting at first, with hindsight and experience, they're actually much simpler than we expect but some people become so overwhelmed they throw in the towel before having the chance to get that far.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inTo help car enthusiasts worldwide reduce stress and have a greater chance of easy success with their tuning projects, Haltech has developed a new app for their Rebel ECU range, specifically targeting the LS community (for now). This app, called Haltech Connect, offers a simple 7-step process to wire your V8-swapped project, get it running on a Haltech ECU, and even potentially driving with minimal further input (exceptions and common sense apply, of course).Why a phone app instead of the typical Windows OS software?What information is needed for the 7 steps, and where can you find it?Are system checks included to ensure everything is correct before firing up?With various LS engine variants, how is the wiring made universal?All these questions and more are answered in this quick interview from the World Time Attack Challenge paddock.What Haltech Connect can do:Connects via WiFiAndroid and iOS supportedView and clear DTCsView data display functions and monitor engine parameters in real-time on your smartphone, tablet and, in some cases, head unit.Change basic settings and adjust basic engine parametersWhat Haltech Connect can't do:Advanced tuning calibrationsFreely access any and all functions and settings (although it should let you get to most!)Data loggingSo who is the Haltech Connect app for? Someone who just wants to get their basic LS swap project up and running with minimal fuss and isn't worried about getting all the power possible out of their LS V8 engine. From there, they have the option to pull out a laptop and dive deeper if they wish.Who isn't the Haltech app for? Those with highly modified engines using aggressive aftermarket cams and/or high boost applications, as well as those using race fuels or ethanol blends who want to make as much power (reliably!) as possible.Basically, any setup that a 'self-tuning' function will be out of its depth on/dangerous

BY FAR OUR LARGEST/LONGEST EPISODE EVER!

Don't waste time shifting gears.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inThe 1000hp capable Honda K24 in Mike Burroughs Stanceworks 244 GTK Ferrari build is useless without the ability to put power to the ground, and Scott Hilzinger of Haltech explains how the Haltech electronics system handles this via a Quaife 5-speed dog engagement gearbox.This setup utilises a load cell gear knob and shift position sensor as well as other sensors on the car to give data on if the gear changing is optimal when it comes to keeping the car balanced and as fast as possible, with INCREASED reliability over manual gear shifts.Also, why are 'pops and bangs' bad for an engine, and what can a tuner do to help avoid them to give some mechanical sympathy?

Do I need electronic wastegate control? What about CO2? And how do I know what size wastegate is needed for my build? These questions and a whole lot more are answered thanks to this week's guest, Matt Wright from Turbosmart. Use “MATT25” to get $25 OFF HPA's Boost Control course: https://hpcdmy.co/boostbMatt has a unique understanding of the industry, having worked for two of Australia's biggest aftermarket performance brands — two decades at Haltech and a more recent move to Turbosmart. We start this episode by delving into the path that Matt took to get where he is today, covering the early days of Haltech that saw him dealing with some fairly rudimentary electronics and software as a support tech. Matt grew with the company and would go on to head up Haltech's expansion into the United States. There are some great discussions here about VE-based tuning, the future of standalone ECUs, and what Matt thinks is missing from the current crop of standalone offerings.After 20 years of service, Matt decided to move across the road to Turbosmart, where he's helped push the development of new products — especially its new range of turbochargers. Matt discusses these new turbos before diving deep into the world of boost control, getting way into the weeds on all things external wastegate. Sure, the idea behind a wastegate is simple enough, but things get a little more demanding and complex when a vehicle's performance starts to get pushed to its limits.

Turbocharging N/A engines is nothing new, and has some known downsides...Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inBut like anything, if you know the weaknesses to watch out for it is easier to manage and avoid them as Haltech's Mitch Smith explains in relation to this 780whp 2JZ-GE being used in a time attack applications.Using modern aftermarket ECU systems one tool tuners have on hand is torque management, and Mitch explains how vis boost and ignition control, he can maintain a flat torque curve with the goal of mechanical sympathy on this stock 2jz bottom end.With a stock bottom end, build cylinder head, Precision 6870 turbo pushing 25 PSI at max boost this Supra is limited to around 7,500 rpm in order to help keep the stock rod bolts intact and the car doing laps.

The iC-7 is getting a birthday, and it's backwards compatible.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inThe iC-7 has always been a display-only device and has been priced accordingly, but with an upcoming firmware update, some added functionality is coming, all without any hardware changes, payments or strings. Further to this, the dash will now be controlled within Haltechs NSP software rather than the old standalone ICC software.Scott Hilzinger also has some other major news, @haltech is also ready to open up their CAN protocols to the public, making it easier to integrate their products with a wide range of others for those who have the desire and knowledge to do so. This has come due to popular request, and the fact that all levels of the performance industry are simply better equipped to deal with CAN communications these days compared to just a few years ago.This was filmed at the 2023 @WorldTimeAttackChallenge in Sydney, Australia.If you want to learn more about CAN communication, yes, we do have a course on it and yes, that coupon above will get you a discount

This was a REALLY dense one. Dewey and Warranty chat with Graham at Boosted Performance Tuning about the switch from a Haltech to an Emtron ECU. If talk about crazy boost control strategies and advances tuning concepts are your jam THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! Boogeyman is receiving an electronics overhaul to include an Emtron ECU, drive by wire, crazy wastegates and blow off valves, and a a PDM. This talk goes deep into why we decided to step up and some of the theory on what we are trying to do. It's a long one but WELL WORTH IT!

What's the difference between a high-end professional motorsport ECU from Bosch and the consumer-level stuff we're more used to dealing with from manufacturers like MoTeC, EmTron, or Haltech? Does your race car really need motorsport-specific ABS, or will the factory equipment do the job just fine? And why does the European hill climb scene consistently produce some of the coolest race cars in the world? All these questions, plus many more, are answered by this week's Tuned In podcast guest, Mikko Kataja of VHT Racing. Use “VHTRACING300” to get $300 OFF our VIP Package: https://hpcdmy.co/vipbBeing Finnish, it's not much of a surprise that Mikko grew up around motorsport, and rally in particular. Some of Mikko's earliest memories involve helping his father and family friends in the pits at rally events across Finland. It seemed pre-ordained then, that Mikko would find himself stepping into motorsport as a career once leaving high school. After training in two motorsport-specific schools, running his own tuning business, and working for various race teams and OEMs worldwide, Mikko found himself living in Germany and working for Bosch Motorsport as an engineer, where he still is today. This all puts Mikko in the perfect position to answer our burning questions about all things motorsport electronics and European hillclimbing — an arena in which he has competed for many years now. This conversation begins with a dive into the Finnish motorsport scene, attempting to answer the age-old question of why so many legendary drivers come from this big country with its tiny population. We cover Mikko's early days competing in rally, circuit racing, and rally sprints — the very flat Finland's version of a hill climb. This next brings us to Mikko's faithful hillclimb KP Toyota Starlet, a car that he's been campaigning and developing for over two decades now. Mikko talks us through the many iterations that the Starlet has seen over the years, and all the learnings he's gained from trying different setups in the suspension, driveline, and engine department — from pushing a 4A-GE just about as far as you could possibly go, to the Radical Precision Engineering Hayabusa V8 setup that he's currently using to great success in the European Hillclimb Championship. This Starlet has a fantastic development story, going from a 2K-powered hack to a monstrously fast, big-winged, screaming weapon bristling with the latest ultra-high-end Bosch motorsport electronics.As you'd expect, this brings us to Mikko's work at Bosch Motorsport, where we take a deep dive into what sets pricey Bosch ECUs apart from more consumer-grade offerings that we're all more familiar with. We also take some time out to really understand motorsport ABS, as this is something that Mikko works with on a daily basis and uses in his own race car.

CU,  PDM, datalogger, oscilloscope and a wideband controller, all in one unit that now fits in your pocket. It's not for your pocket flex game though, so let's take a look at what the NEXUS R3 is aimed at accomplishing for you.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inWe've talked about the Haltech NEXUS R5 VCU (vehicle control unit, a fancy term for 'many features in one') before and are excited to see a baby brother at a lower price point soon hitting the market as discussed with Anthony Truong from Haltech.The R3 uses RadSok power connectors, 1 x Deutsch DTP connector for the PDM side of things, 2 x AMP Superseal 1.0 26-pin connectors, WiFi antenna port & a USB C data connection that we love seeing here as much as we did on the R5 (great for gloved hands on race day!).So who is this for? Maybe you? If you are running a high performance 4 cylinder with some common bells and whistles like staged injection, the R3 is going to handle this for you along with a V8 setup that has one injector per cylinder and it retains the same functions as the R5 when it comes to advanced tuning options like torque management, nitrous control, race timer, flat shift and closed loop boost control. It does this while also controlling your engine electrics and drive-by-wire throttle system keeping the wiring simple and more affordable depending on how your accountant looks at these things.This is all controlled via one piece of software, which like the USB C port is a nice touch for ease of use, especially when in a rush at an event or leaving a hand free to grab a beer instead of hovering over Alt+Tab keys.Want to learn how to tune EFI?

Dry sump, sequential dog engagement gearbox, solid aero, and this Nissan 180SX could be mistaken for a larger budget build but all things considered it's surprisingly modest!Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inUsually seen supporting the likes of Under Suzukis Scorch Racing team, this World Time Attack Andrew Handmer of SX Developments was invited to take his own Nissan 180SX to the track instead which saw him net a top 5 finish in the Pro-Am Class.Originally destined to be a more tame build based off an old daily driver, things quickly escalated to the aero equipped 480hp (360 kW) at around 26 psi  1.8 bar) build here. The 180SX is powered by a Nissan SR20 with Wiseco pistons, Eagle rods, upgraded cams and valve-train with a Kinugawa TD06 SL220G billet wheel fitted turbo delivering the boost. A dry sump setup has been pieced together with some consideration going into the pump rather than just sending it with the first budget option that came along.The transmission is a NASCAR Jerico Performance Products unit that has been converted to sequential shift with a relatively stock driveline putting power to the ground.Electronics wise a Haltech Elite 2500 is paired with a MoTeC ADL3 logger/dash and a solid CAN configuration options for both the Haltech and MoTeC units allow Andrew to simplify his wiring and controls where possible including some sensors to help him with his own driving development like steering angle, brake pressure, damper potentiometers (shock pots) and accelerometers.The car has been built with a budget in mind that is more relatable to many than of the builds we see on the track (not that there is anything wrong with that either!) and while we're sure there have also been many, many hours poured into this, a $20,000 odd dollar build for a car like this is a solid effort and a testament to Andrews hardwork and skills, including bargain hunting

Just how easy is it to get 1000hp out of an Audi 4-litre? With reflashing's capabilities growing every year, will standalone ECUs ever become obsolete? And what makes someone drop their profession as a doctor to tune cars full time?All these questions and many more are answered in this week's episode of the High Peformance Academy Tuned In podcast with John Banks and Mitch McKee, the brains behind Dyno Spectrum.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inDyno Spectrum is best known for its popular DS1 package for various Audi and Lamborghini platforms. It allows for easy wireless real-time reflashing of factory ECUs and includes provisions for Flexfuel, high-speed datalogging, as well as a long list of off-the-shelf maps to work with whatever level of modification a car has. Both John and Mitch have been in the game for years and bring a wealth of knowledge to this conversation. While they first met when working for Cobb reverse engineering factory ECUs, both had quite different and interesting career paths to get where they are today — especially John who, up until a few years ago, was a practising doctor who worked with automotive electronics and tuned cars after hours for fun.The conversation jumps into factory ECUs, digging deep into how they work, and why they do the things they do that at first inspection don't make a whole lot of sense. Reflashing, as you'd expect, is also covered in fascinating detail.The big question that seems to be getting harder and harder to answer is also discussed: reflash vs standalone — when do we need to ditch the factory ECU and go MoTeC, Haltech, Link, or anything else? Do we even need to at all? Follow Dyno Spectrum here:IG: @dynospectrumFB: Dyno SpectrumWWW: dynospectrum.comWant to learn how to tune EFI? Start here instantly, and for free: https://hpcdmy.co/tuneb

Josh Redden is not only the Sales Manager at Haltech USA but he is also a member of our community. We talk about the Haltech products available for the Mitsubishi community. Josh goes into detail about what those products are capable of and which one may work best for your build. Josh also talks about the future of Haltech under it's new ownership and why he sees it as a good opportunity. Finally Josh takes the time to answer some questions that you guys asked on our social media pages.

Ever wondered if tech support staff at ECU manufacturers just get asked the same handful of questions and help fix the same few tuning problems over and over again?  Wonder no more, because Haltech's Mitch Smith — a guy who spends his day helping customers all over the world with some pretty in-depth tuning and setup questions — predictably has all the answers. Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inBased in Sydney, Australia, Mitch left the IT profession to jump into the deep end of the tuning industry in order to do something he loves. Host Andre Simon and Mitch talk about taking that leap of faith and why making a big career move like this can often be a hugely positive life-changing event. Mitch is self-taught and is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things tuning — as you'd need to be if you spent your 9-5 helping other pros figure out some occasionally very challenging problems.  Andre and Mitch focus their discussion on the ins and outs of setting up and tuning standalone systems like Haltech's Nexus series of ECU, and talk about the most common mistakes that customers make, as well as Mitch's solutions to those mistakes.Being a Nissan RB lover, Mitch is also heavily involved in the Maatouks Racing team — one of the biggest names in the Aussie import scene. Mitch talks about working with Anthony Maatouk and discusses the team's latest weapon in detail — an RB-powered Pro-Mod chassis that's gunning for the overall import world record. After running a 5.8 on only its third pass, it seems like the team could be in with a good shot in the coming season.This episode provides a great mix of inspiration for those just starting out, as well as some seriously in-depth discussions that seasoned listeners are going to love sinking their teeth into.

V12 LS, that's probably not an engine code and configuration you see around very often, if at all.Matt Corish of V12LS.com runs us through what it takes to take a V8 platform and transform it into a V12, bank angles, what parts are still interchangeable and also some specific areas and where the team improved on the existing LS design while they had the chance to ensure reliability up to around 2000HP which with the likes of Haltech and their quad setup of Garrett turbos and Josh Robinson's twin Magnuson supercharger build, it's not that far off.Learn more about Performance Engine Building by coming along to the next FREE lesson: hpcdmy.co/enginebuildingfA large focus of the design was to ensure as many aftermarket performance parts were available for engine builders to make things more affordable (as far as V12 builds go!) and easier. The fact that companies like JE Pistons, K1 Technologies and Wiseco among many others have already put a lot of time and research into components for the LS platform add plenty of merit to this focus.Matt also discusses some balancing and firing aspects of a V12 compared to a V8 and inline 6, along with advantages beyond parts in sticking with a 90-degree bank angle. Production processes are also discussed including 3D printing into sand in order to get the cooling system perfect, and Ford Barra fans can share the love too with the same sized crank journals being utilized.As a side note, Matt and his team actually managed to cut and shut two junkyard LS engines together to make a test platform before production, not just to the point it ran, but to the point it produced 700HP. Now that's a sign of talent and a solid effort.

Plenty of people in the industry think that blowing up engines and destroying parts is an essential and unavoidable aspect of the learning process when it comes to tuning, but is that really the case? In this episode of High Performance Academy's Tuned In podcast, Andre sits down with Haltech's Scott Hilzinger to answer that question, and much, much more.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-in Sydney-based Hilzinger discusses his first DOS-based forays into tuning as a teenager, as well as leaving that stone age behind over the next 20 years through helping to build and develop Haltech ECUs into one of the best options out there in the market.
