Hi guys,

Thinking of going T2 management on my yb engine. I am looking to put in some sort of digital dash like aim, stack etc...

Question is which one will work best with a Pectel T2 ecu? I can't see any issues with wiring them up seperately but ideally i'd like them to be compatible with eachother for error codes, warning lights etc...

Thanks for any useful info in advance.

Cheers
Dan

 

aim is the best bet.order your wiring loom with the connector for AIM dash

prometheus(fraser) does that

 

Stack run seperate from the ecu anyway Dan.

the Aim dashes can plug into them.

iirc.

 

Or - with the Pectel ECUs you can run the Pi Research dashes...

Truly awesome kit and virtually the same money as an AIM

 

how much is a PI research dash then?

 

link to the dashes Will !?

or the sigma one at the top, althought that looks more moneys than the omega one......very smart kit though...will have to get some prices from them monday.

Cheers Will

Or run a Race Technology dash which supports Pectel..

 

AIM MXL. I use one connected to a T6 which is far as I know uses the same data outputs as a T2. The AIM supports T2 eitherway in its software setup no probs.

Comes highly recomended by me!

You can setup all the warnings you like simply in the AIM software.

 

to run the dash with a proper ECU, its 4 wires, not rocket science.

 

Sorry Ryan which ecu and which dash are you on about? I'm asking to learn and get a good idea what works with what so an explanation would be great

Cheers
Dan

 

Think what Ryans saying is that the AIM/Pi dashes etc. run on CAN so you can interrogate a datastream with 2 wires - then all the other wiring consists of is an ignition live and a ground.

 

Have a look at the gems series of ecu/dash compatible units, very very nice kit, for great money.
www.gems.co.uk

 

exatly will, CAN or Rx/Tx, depending on what the ECU supports, which is 2 wires,

then power and ground.

only other input you need is a speed sensor, 90% of the dashes will be this same configuration, then you can have aux/user input for sensors.

 

great money being the worlds! there are nice though! they are just dedicated PC's with nice software

 

I cannot find a single price on that gems website, or any of its resellers links :S

anyone know where I can find some prices?

Cheers
Dan

 

does it need just to be plugged into the ecu ,the dash i use is etb http://www.etbinstruments.com/DD2_lite.htm ive had a few snotty coments on how it looks but its very functional and above all no canbus conflict errors ,theres no proper dealer in the uk so ur fucked for ages WHEN it goes tits up and it looks like a casio wrist watch lol

 

Just fitted one of these to my car.

Not tested it yet but seems to be a quality bit of kit at reasonable money.
Very helpfull company as well

 

isnt there one for sale on this forum?

 

Where is that from and what did it cost?
Cheers
Dan

 

See my post above about race technlology....... www.racetechnology.co.uk

They should have a pectel ecu interface in their list by now.....

I intend to use one of these on my current project.

 

ahh I see...I did go on their website earlier but was cut short...Looks smart enough for the money £500 +vat. It sounds like it'll work with the T2 so looks ot be the best suited so far.

Cheers
Dan

 

Dan, did you miss my AIM comment above? Tested and proven and massively configurable at the flick of a keyboard. Also takes a direct link from AIMs wideband system giving you AFR on the screen.

Stu

 

What is the AIM wideband Stu ? ? Can i configure my Innovate LM2 to supply the AIM and the Emerald ? ?

 

Richie, yes stu runs the same I believe

 

Hi Rich, yep I would imagine you can although you would have to use an analog input and configure it using the lambda setup in the Aim software.

The Aim wideband controller is the AIM LCU-ONE. Ive got the CAN version which connects direct to the dash via CAN and then I use the serial RX/TX direct to the T6. You could probably also put the Lambda into the ECU and then feed the AFR to the dash from there (if your ECU can do wideband?)


Nope! I use the AIM LCU-ONE not the Innovate.

 

Couldn't remember stu, you have so many toys, LOL

 

Yeah, ive not seen that particular red one for a while!!!

Got any cossie alternators hanging around Ryan or Rich that you fancy posting me in the morning?

 

Motec SDL.

It has outputs as well - so can do programable fan control, water spray, pump control etc.... Not many of the other dashes have outputs. Pectel T2 will take a linearised AFR into it for closed loop control and then you can get AFR to the dash by RS232 from the Pectel.

Most of those dashes do not have outputs - with the aussie dollar this would cost something like 750 quid.

I also think you will have trouble fitting an AIM or a Race TEch dash into a sierra pod as they are a bit tall - but correct me if wrong.

And then you can buy a PDM and talk to everthing to run more and more stuff - no relays - no breakers yey!!!!!!!

Good way of expanding i/o - and can take fuel pump control via tacho relay away from pectel and also buy pectel without rev counter output to free up T2 outputs on T2 to run a boost control/something else.

 

No mate i haven't. How urgent you need one ?

 

The one on Lees westy decided to call it a day tonight so just need a replacement sometime this week.

 

I have one - second hand, open to offers?
