Haltech NEXUS S2 (ECU Only)
The Haltech Nexus S2 is a standalone ECU for 4-cylinder and 2-rotor engines. It replaces the popular Elite 1500. It keeps everything the Elite 1500 did and adds the faster processor, onboard wideband controller, Wi-Fi and high-speed data logging of the Nexus platform.
If you're building a turbo Honda K or B-series, an SR20, a 4G63, an EJ, a 13B rotary or any other 4-cylinder or 2-rotor setup, the S2 gives you full engine control and pro-level race features in one compact unit.
Why choose the Nexus S2?
- Built-in wideband controller: works with NTK and Bosch LSU 4.9 sensors, so you don't need a separate wideband box.
- Onboard 4 bar MAP sensor: covers most boosted 4-cylinder builds without an external sensor.
- 128MB onboard data logging: logs up to 300 channels at up to 1ms (1kHz) for real tuning and diagnostics.
- Wi-Fi and USB-C: tune with NSP (Nexus Software Programmer), and works with the Haltech Connect App.
- Dual CAN ports with switchable termination for Haltech dashes, keypads, wideband controllers and expansion modules.
Key features
- 4D closed-loop boost control and closed-loop CO2 boost control
- Launch control, traction control, anti-lag, rolling anti-lag and rotational idle
- Flat shift control, trans brake control and a race timer
- Flex fuel support and long-term fuel learning (up to 4D)
- Dual knock control and multi-level engine protection
- 6-stage nitrous control
- Variable cam control (up to 4 cams) and dual drive-by-wire throttle
- Stepper motor idle control, intake air bleed control and multi-stage fuel injection
- Advanced torque management (driveshaft and engine RPM targeting)
- Shock travel and ride height monitoring
- Automatic transmission control: Ford AODE/4R70W, GM 4L60E, GM 4L80E, Toyota A340E, Lenco and Liberty

- Wiring diagram
This is the ECU only. The wiring harness, wideband sensor and engine sensors are sold separately. Haltech also sells the S2 as a kit with a universal wiring harness.
Compatibility
Fits engines with up to 4 cylinders or up to 2 rotors, and race builds that need advanced race features and data logging. It's a universal wire-in ECU. Check your trigger setup, injectors, ignition, throttle and cam control needs against the specs above before you buy. If you're not sure, contact us.
