Haltech Nexus R3 VCU (HT-193000)
Product details
Description
The Haltech Nexus R3 VCU is the core of a serious engine management installation, with the processing power, I/O, and software support to control the engine properly and prove it in data.

- 10 x 25A-capable outputs across high current channels
- Peak and hold injector drivers and DBW support
- Dual onboard wideband controllers (NTK and LSU 4.9)
