Haltech has dropped a big one on the modified car community this afternoon, unveiling their new S-Series range of ECUs.

Consisting of the Nexus S2 and S3, they are essentially successors to the old but still very effective Elite 1500 and former top of the line Elite 2500, respectively.

The new S-Series Nexus range offer a serious upgrade in performance and functionality over the Elite series, the S-Series combines all the classic functionality of the Elite two-connector range, with new features and the superior processing power of the successful Nexus platform.

KEY FEATURES

• Supports Dual Drive-by-Wire Throttles
• Single Channel Onboard Wideband: Expandible to 10 channels via external CAN devices
• Onboard Wi-Fi using internal antenna: Enables remote monitoring and tuning through NSP and Haltech Connect App
• USB 2.0 Comms via USB-C: Cable comms speeds up to 40x faster than Elite. Power-up over USB means you can set up your ECU before installing it in your vehicle.
• Torque Management: Advanced drag racing function enabling pre-defined wheel slip, previously only available on NEXUS R series and Elite 2500T.
• 128MB Onboard Data-logging.
• Flexible IO – Unused outputs can be reassigned

• Transbrake Function – Allows smooth and consistent control of start line staging (Bump or Creep)

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

S-SERIES FAQs

What is the difference between the Elite and the S-Series?

With the S2 and S3, we’ve taken the best features of the Elite 1500 and Elite 2500, and combined them with more modern Nexus hardware.

The S-Series gives you these advantages over the Elite range:

• Supports Dual Drive-by-Wire Throttles
• Single Channel Onboard Wideband: Expandible to 10 channels via external CAN devices
• Onboard Wi-Fi using internal antenna: Enables remote monitoring and tuning through NSP and Haltech Connect App
• USB 2.0 Comms via USB-C: Cable comms speeds up to 40x faster than Elite. Power-up over USB means you can set up your ECU before installing it in your vehicle.
• Torque Management: Advanced drag racing function enabling pre-defined wheel slip, previously only available on NEXUS R series and Elite 2500T.
• 128MB Onboard Data-logging.
• Flexible IO – Unused outputs can be reassigned

What is the difference between the R-Series and the S-Series?

The R-Series includes on-board Power Distribution functionality, whereas the S-Series doesn’t.

Will you stop producing the Elite Series?

No, the Elite Series will continue production for the foreseeable future.

Will there be a Nexus version of the Elite 750 and Elite 550?

No, we are not currently developing a Nexus successor for the Elite 750 or 550.
