ELITISM
HALTECH has yanked the covers off its new Elite 1000 ECU, which fills
a gap in the current line-up and provides a suitable replacement for
the soon-to-be-discontinued Platinum Series Sport 1000. The Elite
1000 is positioned between the Elite 550 and Elite 1500, and is aimed
at tuners who want more features than the Elite 550 offers but don’t
need all the additional race functions available in the Elite 1500.
Priced from $1745 for the ECU only; $1995 with a Basic Universal
Wire-in Kit; or $2145 with a Premium Universal Wire-in Kit. For more

PUMP IT UP
AN ELECTRIC fuel pump has to be fairly efficient to feed 1250hp without
burning out. That’s where FUELAB’s new High Efficiency Twin-Screw
Fuel Pump comes in. The twin-screw rotor design efficiently moves
fuel where it has to go while drawing less current. Compatible with
pump fuel, diesel, methanol and ethanol, the pump’s design offers
greater resistance to fuel cavitation. Flowing 500lph at 45psi and
13.5V, a maximum operating pressure of 125psi is available. For more

FLARE-UP
THE Aeroflow Brake Flaring Tool is the fastest way to get a
professional single or double flare, every time. This easy-to-use flare
tool comes with six assorted metric and imperial dies (for 45-degree
flares), including the popular 3/16-inch brake line, which requires a
double flare to meet ADR standards. This flaring tool produces convex
and double flares to SAE and DIN standards, while the smooth die
doesn’t mark the tubing. If you’d like to see this tool in action, head
to Aeroflow’s YouTube channel. For more information, call Rocket on
(02) 8825 1900, or visit aeroflowperformance.com.06
START SOMETHING
BLUEWIRE Automotive’s LS engine-start dash panels with 30mm billet
buttons are great for hot rods, show cars and street cars alike. The system
has a safety lock-out in that it will only function when the footbrake is
being applied, preventing accidental start-ups. Illumination is configured
so that it is active when the button is pushed and while the ignition is on.
