Evening all,

I have this little beauty kicking about from my last project and I'm thinking it would be a nice addition to the VX. Is anyone running one on a turbo?

Speaking to Race Technology they have told me that their plug and play kit for the Elise should work as apparently the looms are the same. Is this true? I see that vauxhall didn't see fit to spec the VX with a CAN interface which is a shame. Would have saved a load of hassle!

Love to see a pic when this is installed! Looks sexy!

Are these similar to the aftermarket stack dashes? Is there any difference?

Does he now! Always had good service from Race Tech but I just thought this sounded too good to be true.

It's not exactly standard, I believe it's running a compound charging system...

I was wondering if you could get an android tablet to interface to the loom , so you could make it do a lot more . Androidaq looked good.

Yes loads, check there site I run one in the kit car linked to the ecu great bit of kit, does max min recalls, gear, shift lights 5 display screens of what ever info you want, alarms high and low Don't think you get a better dash for the money

Soooo, a gm Kline to can interface might be a bonus?

[Ponk]

You'll have to dumb that down for me, not up on my Vauxhall lingo yet. I have a CAN interface for the dash which I used with a DTA S40 standalone ecu on my last project. I didn't think I could use it on the VX? Would be great if I could as literally becomes plug and play.

I imagine the s40 adaptor was serial to can, happy to be told otherwise though

[Ponk]

Thinking about it, it was probay serial at the dash end. The ecu output was CAN.

Thorney had one on his race car, looked really good. Lovely bit of kit.
