Reece Bartholomew Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 G'day guys, seen your 4.8 update and about how it supports CAN was wondering what was involved in upgrading my ecu to support CAN and how far off is the support for the racepak IQ3 dash? i have a link g4 P&P; to suite rb26 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Currently CAN support for the racepak is waiting on the release of firmware from Racepak. Apparently this is not too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Bartholomew Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 No problem its not real rush, so what is involved in getting the racepak to work on my link g4 once this firmware release is made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Tune NZ Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 you can use the race pack dash now using a adaptor fromĀ them to plug into the current link dash port if neededĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impellerhead Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Will it be possible to use racepak modules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Bartholomew Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 So what cable do i use? i found the CAN/RS232 port inside the ecu so i would go from there can you point me in the right direction? by the sounds of it you dont need a mid way interface like the vipec ones they sell anymore? ĆĀ cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 To connect to the CAN/RS232 port you will need one of our CANPCB cables. From this we can supply a serial cable (9pin) or a flying lead that you can hard wire. Have done a bit of a look and see that racepak have an interface module for Vi-PEC this will also work with the link ecu. What I couldn't find was how the two connect.

Reece Bartholomew Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 http://www.vi-pec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=400&p=4737&hilit=racepak#p4737by the looks in there, ray has said that the interface is not required for racepak anymore so would this be the same with the link? so if i got a serial cable for the RS232 port from you and got a serial cable output from racepak that may work? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Bartholomew Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Also the can/rs232 port in the link is a 5 pin unit, and the racepak V-net cable is a 5 pin unit would it be possible to get one of these (http://www.specestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8710_13968_13984_14002&products_id=13225) and wire them up to corresponding pins? as by going by what people are saying that they dont need the unit which lets them talk anymore? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Yes this would carry over to the Link as well. For a direct connection if you know the pin info for the racepak then we can help with our end and you could likely get a direct connect.

Reece Bartholomew Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 So your saying it will work fine direct connect? no need for an interface module likes this? ĆĀ http://949racing.com/racepak-efi-interface.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 As long as the info for what each wire in that cable does is known then I see no reason that a direct cable can't be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Bartholomew Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Righto, how much is the link serial/rs232 cable worth? i might just got the vipec adapter made by racepak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Give [email protected] a bell and they will be able to sort you a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
