Where the Elite 1000 fits
The Elite 1000 is aimed at four-cylinder and smaller engines that want real standalone control without paying for outputs they'll never use. It runs the same ESP software as the rest of the Elite range, and all features are included with no extra unlock fees.
Hardware at a glance
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Injector outputs | 4, with programmable peak and hold currents. Unused ones can be used as DPOs |
| Ignition outputs | 4. Unused ones can be used as DPOs |
| Engine position inputs | 6, with wide trigger type support |
| Laptop link | USB, up to 1 MB/s |
| Networking | Dual CAN bus, for OBDII and Haltech CAN expansion |
| Case | IP67 waterproof, but only with the pocket cover fitted, or with the waterproof USB cable and cap |
The waterproof rating depends on sealing the USB port. The waterproof Elite USB extension cable and waterproof USB cap are sold separately.

Our take
Four injector and four ignition outputs make the Elite 1000 a natural fit for a four-cylinder with sequential injection and coil-on-plug. The catch is that spare outputs for boost, fans, pumps and cam control come from the same pool, so plan every output before you wire. If you run short, Haltech CAN expansion is the way out.
Before you start, pull up the pinouts: 26-pin main connector, 34-pin main connector, and the 26-pin and 34-pin wiring diagrams. The quick start guide covers first power-up.
