Hi, please excuse my ignorance, new to aftermarket management.
Ive just purchased a Vi-pec V88, and also an AIM mxl strada dash, im trying to gather all the parts im going to need before i start assembly, so got a few questions I hope you can help with.
connecting v88 to AIM, both seem to have CAN, is the best way using CANDASH lead? Its also stated that the CANDASH cannot be used whilst the CANUSB is connected, does this mean whilst connected to laptop for mapping the dash would not work or infact any other connections?
Sensors & inputs, am i best to have all the inputs from engine including crank, cam, cts, map, tps, iat, wideband, egt x4, wheelspeed, oil pressure, oil temp, fuel pressure. (any others?) or should some feed direct to dash?
Vipec advise connecting to ecu, aim advise connecting to dash and then feeding the data to the other device via CAN.
Should mention the car is for drag race use, engine is a vauxhall z20let 2ltr turbo.
sorry to throw so many questions at once, Id really like to get my head round this and and do most of it myself.
Cheers
