Who the Elite 2000 suits
With eight injector and eight ignition drivers, the Elite 2000 has enough outputs for fully sequential injection and coil-on-plug ignition on a V8, plus the closed loop control and learning features most modern builds need. Every feature comes unlocked out of the box; there are no paid upgrades to enable boost control, flex fuel or anything else. It's programmed with Haltech's ESP software over USB.

About the waterproof rating
The IP67 rating only holds when the USB port is sealed, either with the pocket cover in place or with the waterproof USB extension cable and waterproof USB cap fitted. Those two parts are sold separately. If the ECU is going anywhere near water, like the engine bay of a rally car or a boat, budget for them.
Wiring and pinouts
The ECU connects through a 26-pin and a 34-pin main connector. See the 26-pin and 34-pin connector pinouts, or the 26-pin and 34-pin harness pages. Comparing it with its smaller sibling? Read the Elite 1000 overview. Current Elite models are listed in our Elite collection.
