Race Technology Dash 2

2g will be plenty.........

Typically you need downforce to pull more than 1/1.2g lateral acceleration in most cars.............

Alot of the time when you see people quoting g figures above this, they haven't corrected them for roll angle or taken off the yaw acceleration

[DavidC]

Yeah, if anyone has a westy which can pull 2G in any direction (freefall doesn't count) I wanna see it

I think I'm probably going to jump ship to Neil's BB as I'm very very tempted by the prospect of having the dash next week. I have one question on the wiring, spefically the four wires in the speedo plug on the standard Westy loom. One of the pins is the Feed to Transducer (Yellow/White). As this would normally plug into the VDO speedo, would I be right in guessing that usually the feed to the transducer comes via the Speedo? If so, would I need to run a switched live feed from somewhere else on the loom to this pin on the Westy loom plug?  Would one of the redundant feeds from the oil, fuel or water gauge plugs suffice or will the voltage be wrong?

Or would that be what the reference 5v output is for on the Dash2 bottom connector?

Once I have an answer to that, I think I'm back onto the original BB.

I will check with my build manual what what on the westfield loom.

A feed from one of the redundant guage feeds should be just fine, 12v is within spec for the sensor and should give an output suitable for the Dash2, 5v will be too low.

Cool, I'll go with Neil's original bulk buy then. How easy will it be to set or find out the correct parameters for the VDO Oil, Fuel and Water senders?

Neil, what's the best way to pay.

Welcome! I have sent you a PM re: payment.

Cheers

i see they do some nice sensors on there web site but no prices

anyone have a price list for them

[michaelcoombs]

There are prices at the bottom of each page    

[pete g]

right you are

must pay more attention when surfing  

thanks for that.

[RichB]

I'll leave this open for a bit to allow anyone else to join in (let me know if you're in a great hurry though). So far:

RichB x1, DavidC x1, neilb x2, michaelcoombs x2, BigRuss x2. Total=8

OK guys, as I'll have to send them out to you, then the final prices including postage will be £10 for 1 sensor, £19 for 2. Can the above people, and anyone else interested, confirm their requirements to me by the end of the weekend, and I'll get them ordered.

Many thanks,

Rich.

I will be ordering for the original bulk by on Monday, so if anyone else wants one I need to know asap.

Thanks

Last chance, I will be ordering this afternoon.

So, looking forward to next week when we've all got our RT Dash2's fitted, has anyone got the data for the VDO 5 bar oil pressure sender, float arm fuel sender and the VDO temperature sender?

[RichB]

David,

I'm getting the DASH2 via WSC, so should come configured with these parameters, I can let you know once I've got it, will be ~4 weeks though.

Rich.
