    If you can track down the Haltech V2 CAN message set the MoTec can display it. I have seen it about but I have not got it to hand.

    It is not all that hard to build a receive template for the MoTec dashes once you have a look at a few.

    I will say that the racepak/Haltech and MoTec dash build quality is like chalk and cheese. The C127 weighs a lot more than an IQ3 but in comparison feels like it has been machines out of a billet! (They might be for all I know)

    The MoTeC Display cases are billet.

    There is a Haltech V2 template in the standard MoTeC templates as well.  if you have a custom set, this can be handled as well.

    I've got a Race Technology DASH2 from the UK. Nothing too fancy and I haven't actually installed it yet, but talks to my autronic and came at under $900AUD shipped. I'll be making my own comms lead though, they wanted 150 quid for that, bullshit.

    Be Very Very careful when installing this Dash, as the recessed threads on the back are shallow, with the material at the bottom of the holes very thin.  It is quite easy to bottom out the bolts being used, and punching the bottom of the holes into the underlying circuit board.  When this happens, the screen tends to fail, and the only fix is replacement.

    I used to sell these products, I had a number of them come back for that reason.  I used to install short studs on the ones that I sold to resolve this issue.

  3. Having a look at the sensors supplied with that system, I would be asking if it is possible to change the sensors that are used. Those sensors are easily affected by external sources, as they use the engine block and chassis as the return path, and changes to the return resistance will effect the sensors. They also rely on the tension in the connector to maintain the connection, and any movement in the connector can make the connector lose contact with the sensor. The fluid pressure sensors are also prone to fail when directly mounted on an engine, as the internals are not shock mounted, and will vibrate to pieces.

  4. The drilled holes on the carbon/ceramics are totally different to drilled holes in cast iron (CI) disks. They do not create the stress risers that are prevalent with CI, and are needed for out gassing reasons that would normally be handled by slotting the rotors on a CI disk. if you look at the disks used in the WEC and F1, you will see that they also have holes drilled in the friction surfaces as well, for this reason.
