What can the Haltech run? High or low impedance injectors?

another tip: you'll have to run a cold plug and some decent spark too as E85 burns real cold and the factory ignition struggles past the low to mid 200's.

The e6x can run both high and low impedence injs.But my tuner found the indy blues are extremly low impedence and the e6x is batch fire not sequential.So we found the e6x struggled running the indy blues.Haltech at wetheril pk suggested the e6x would work better with high impedence injs.The e6x on mine did run the indy blues and made 360hp at the wheels on 15psi with e85,but was struggling.have switch over to high impedence injs and will be tuned hopefully monday.Im only hoping for 400hp at the wheels on e85 for now.Will see how it goes monday.

bosch 1000cc high impedance work well ruuning off the stock batch fire 3EA/3TM ecu's, haltech no problem. they also operate at low pulsewidths well, great with PULP. E85 would not be an issue due to the extra fuelling required.
