Full Racepak Digital Dash or a full set of Autometers... - Page 4 - Lateral-g Forums

I'm not one of those lucky guys when it comes to hoping for the best. I'd grenade my **** the first time out.

I plan on running it regularly so I'll make sure it's set up properly first. I've heard the small air oil coolers are extremely innefficient. I'm still considering a dual pass radiator with the cooler built in....

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its overkill, but then again, so is most of your car, in a good way

I'm going to be adding a oil temp sensor before the next outing... Will see

If you are only looking at 3 inputs, then stick with guages and find a different type of data logging device. There are several out there that are very reasonable.

Why not consider something other than the UDX ?? How about the IQ3 ??

What would the total cost be for the setup including the IQ3?

IQ3 is what we will be using. It is not that much more expensive than a full set of Autometers if you are running EFI with the right ECM you can datalog from and don;t have to buy a bunch of senders. They are not cheap.

Not as bad as it has been portrayed:

250-DS-IQ3, IQ3 DISPLAY DASH = 625.00
Just the dash, you install sensors for your needs.

250-DS-IQ3EFI, IQ3 EFI LOGGER DASH = 1495.00
As it states, this model is for EFI, which I believe you stated you were not running... but this price includes 32 channels of data-logging capability.

250-DS-IQ3LD, IQ3 LOGGER DASH = 1395.00
Similar to the 250-DS-IQ3... but, with 32 channels of data-logging capability. You install the sensors for your needs and it has the ability to record.

Read up on the information in the link I directed you too in my last post. There are infinite capabilities for keeping it on the cheap... or going to a full blown EFI (E38, Bigstuff, MEFI etc etc) with data-logging capabilities. The IQ3 is a no brainier for me.... as I was in your exact situation dealing with the idea of $3000 for the required Autometer components to suit my needs... or $1495 for the IQ3 which exceeds the basic needs AND having 32 channels of DA, GPS speed, GPS track mapping and a 3 axis accelerometer for doing advanced development of spring and damper packaging. But... I am also going EFI... so there are inherent capabilities with that as well.

Now I pretty much get the same DA and instrumentation with the IQ3 as I would have with the $3000 in Autometer and the other $7000 in the Advantage Motorsports Data Acquisition system to meet the same requirements. Oh yeah... and it plugs right into the E38 ECU and CANBUS I/O structure.
