Free Base Maps for your ECU

Technical Library › Website Tech ArticlesUpdated Sep 2026

You don't have to start a Haltech tune from a blank screen. Haltech's software includes base maps for a long list of popular engines, and you can even pull individual tables from one map into another.

Haltech's ECU Manager software comes loaded with base maps for many popular makes and models, and Haltech put real work into building them. Coverage spans Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Toyota and Hyundai, Mazda rotaries, and Ford and Holden, so most common performance platforms have a starting point.

Mixing and matching tables

You're not stuck with a whole map. You can import individual parts of one tune into another. Say you're building an S13 and the closest fuel table is in the S15 base map: bring just that table across and keep everything else from your own file.

How we use base maps

  • Treat a base map as a starting point, not a finished tune. It won't know your injectors, turbo, cams or fuel.
  • Before the first start, confirm trigger settings, injector data and sensor calibrations match your actual hardware.
  • Check ignition timing with a timing light before you trust any timing table.
  • Keep boost and load low until you've logged and corrected fueling.
