Direct injection (DI) sprays fuel straight into the combustion chamber at very high pressure, instead of into the intake port. That needs a high-pressure mechanical pump, special high-voltage injector drivers and very precise timing of each injection event. It's a different job from running port injectors.
When Haltech wrote its original note on this topic, it didn't offer a product that could control direct injection, and said DI was something it hoped to add in future. Product lines change, so check the Haltech range or ask us for the current situation before you plan a build around it.
Options for a DI engine
- Convert to port injection. A common path on swapped engines: add a port-injected intake and run it on a Haltech.
- Keep the factory ECU for fueling. On some builds the factory computer stays in place and other parts of the system are handled separately.
