Didnt' realise people weren't allowed to take an interest in things that are happening on the forum. Do I have a Cup Racer; no. Do I know people that do who may be interested; yes. You've said you've got it all working, so I would say asking to see it is a fair request. Chip, Do you know...

Good job. Any chance of a video at some point so we can see everything working on the dash?

M-from-Germany, sorry from straying off topic, but just noticed a couple of replies I wanted to address. Re-read my post, I made no comments about sourcing other products and comparable pricing. This is something you've come up with all on your own. Yes, the price of the Gen90 could well be...

Wow, nice to see playground levels of maturity (and intelligence) prevailing here! The maturity I can't help you with, and seeing as you've failed to in any way back up your "overpriced" comment, it seems there isn't much hope with you understanding the following, but I will try anyway. The OP...

And the naivety of some people on it continues to astound me! Please can you justify how the bespoke, developed only for 172/182, plug and play solution from K-Tec, is "overpriced", compared to a generic unit that currently does not run the car's existing dash?

As has been mentioned, K-Tec do a plug and play solution which runs the existing MM dash. It comes with everything you need, and will allow you to upgrade the engine all the way to ITBs and beyond (their own Cup Racer is running ITBs with the Gen90 ECU). Should you want to upgrade the dash at a...

Have you got it running the standard dash yet?

Does it run the standard cup racer dash as the K-Tec kit does?

Test can be done on the AP discs with the same pads, so discs will be the only difference!

Fred, If you ever want "next to sod all difference" quantified, I'm more than happy to test a set and publish the results!

I had a new brake setup fitted recently (PF 330mm discs, Ferodo DS3000 pads and KTR braided lines) and repeated an ABS stop test that I did a while ago on my old brakes, now that the new brakes have bedded in. Test was done on the same car, same driver, same fuel load, same road and same ambient...

TDF and Track Group legally look like two different companies. TDF is owned by Matt Faulks (records from Companies House show this), and he is the only Director. Track Group have different directors, none of whom are Matt Faulks. ​ As Mick says, if the invoice for the work is from TDF, then...

Aerocoat are just outside St Olaves and are very good. Their website isn't great, but just give them a call. www.aerocoat.net

Not sure if your comments were aimed back to me, but I completely agree with what you're saying. The kit price of £20 was quoted by The Fatty, and I was agreeing that for a one-off, bread boarded system, not in a box, that he's described (not the same as what you're making) it may be realistic...

I rest my case. The hardware cost is not going to be anything like £8 (your quoted £4 doubled). Component costs alone will be that or more, you then have then PCB costs (not forgetting the associated NREs which need to be amortised). You then have the time Chet has spent developing this...

Chet, Good work so far, and your future plans sound very interesting! it sounds as though you're being realistic, and have a much better grasp of the market than most of the people commenting in this thread. The simple fact is that you're unlikely to sell many of these as people simply won't...

The Elm Scan and OBDLink tool you've linked to will both use OBD-II to get data from your car. There's nothing off the shelf which will allow you to display this data on anything other than a laptop via the USB connector provided.

On a ph2 172 or on the 182 you can move the OBD port without any problems. There is a metal bracket you need to loosen, lift up, and then you can move the OBD port to allow you to either easily splice into the wiring, or add an extension for the OBD cable and run it into the glove box. On my...

Yes

It won't work with a standard ECU because Race Technology won't have the decode for the CAN bus. If you have the decode, then you can run an aftermarket dash instead of the OEM unit and it doesn't have anything to do with Renault allowing it as such, other than them not publishing the...

If you're planning on using CAN, be sure to ask up front whether Race Technology provide the CAN templates. If they don't, a PHD in applied mathematics won't even help you!

Unless you're running the cup racer ECU a cup racer dash won't work. Replacing the dash is a much more complicated process than people understand, especially if you want to keep the stock ECU and retain all functionality. I had a play a while ago with an ADL3 I had kicking about and had the...

You've exposed a number of items that you would have to actually see to possibly believe, which a "Motorsport" company would try and pass off on a paying customer, but £3k for that wiring takes the biscuit! How you have managed to remain this calm and composed, having been blatantly ripped off...

My old bus. Glad it's found its way back onto the site! :)

Yes. And a few others from yesterday.

Well, after popping out to the USA a few weeks ago, for a few days to visit here. and seeing plenty of these (the new DW12 looks a lot better in the flesh than in the pictures) I then flew to Arizona to watch these playing in the desert Which look like this when you remove the...

The price comparisons between the Gen90 and EC1 are a bit of a joke. It's like comparing apples and oranges! Both will control the engine as the OP requires (like the above are both fruits), but beyond that you're not comparing like for like. The Gen90 will run a standard 172/182 on its own...

If you know who "built" the Gen90, feel free to say; no-one's stopping you. So let me get this straight; you're saying that you didn't put a wink in the post, so it didn't make complete sense, and because I mis-interpreted this, I'm a prick? What fantastic logic you have! To quote from your...

Think you're exaggerating just slightly? The round trip is under 500 miles, and as for £300 in petrol?!:lolup: Didn't realise Tesco value was actually Hovis, just with the name changed over. I'm sure Tesco will claim the motorsport heritage of their bread however, and everyone will be bowled...

The K-Tec Gen90 is a plug and play replacement (no wiring changes necessary) for the standard ECU and will do everything you want. I cannot see why you would want to use anything else, especially if it involves adding a second ECU which cannot do everything the car requires, needs wiring...
