New VRS Signal Conditioner

Has anyone tried the new VRS signal conditioner on a Honda ABS sensor? http://www.race-technology.com/signal_c ... 30630.html

Does the signal conditioner require that the ABS system be installed, or can it just be connected to the ABS sensor itself?

Wiring RPM to Dash2 and DL1

I currently have my Dash2 and DL1 both wired to the RPM output of my ECU. I did it this way so that if either unit failed, the other will still have an RPM signal. Will running RPM to both units simultaneously cause any issues?

Honeywell MLH Pressure Sensors - resistor needed?

I'm planning to use Honeywell MLH pressure sensors for F&R brake pressure and fuel pressure.

http://sensing.honeywell.com/index.cfm/ ... /1/re_id/0

The models I'm using require a +5V input and output 0.5V to 5V. Since the sensor output is voltage, I would assume I do not need a pull up/down resistor. Is this correct?

I have done the linear regulator successfully as well. Wondering if anybody has tried a carputer power supply to get a stable 12 vdc? With a 13.8 VDC system on a car, there isn't enough headroom to get a good 12 volts out of a linear regulator. I'm going to give one of these switching power supplie...

Thanks Jeremy. I'll check it out. I know I have a sticker on the backside of the Dash2, but I need to remove it to look at it. I'm using the new connectors I bought from you. I'll check the connectors that came with the Dash2. I knew I'd need another 5V source since I'm using so many sensors, so I d...

Dash2 5V reference output

I am almost finished with a complete rewire of my track car, and I have found that there is no 5V output from my Dash2. I've double checked all the wiring and the Dash2 otherwise functions correctly. I seem to recall that some of the early Dash2s did not have a 5V output, but I thought I had checked...

I'm using floating rotors up front and fixed mounted rotors in the rear. Both are two piece with aluminum hats. I think the casting for the upright may get in the way of the hub flange. The hubs on my car look very similar to the picture you've posted below, I just need to see if there is space for ...

Great information. Thanks a bunch. The sensor you recommended is actually cheaper than the one I was planning to use. I thought they were identical except one was a stainless body and the other aluminum. I picked the stainless model since it had a higher operating temp limit. I'll have to figure out...

speed sensor mounting location - heat?

I'm considering using Cherry GS100102 speed sensor (Hall Effect) on the front and rear of my car. Can you mount the sensors such that the bolts used to secure the rotor to the hat trigger the sensor? I'm concerned about heat from the rotors damaging the sensors. Also, the front rotors use stainless ...

Thanks. A few other questions, if you don't mind. Currently I'm using 3 datalogged sensors for the engine: water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure. I may add a fuel pressure sensor as well, and eventually I want to add suspension pots. All of the wiring will be run together to a bulkhead connector on...

Shielded wiring for sensors

When wiring up a 3 wire sensor (reference voltage, signal ground, and sensor signal) and using shielded wire, is it best to have all 3 wires in a single shield, only the signal wire shielded, only the reference voltage and signal shielded, or some other combination? Would the same apply to two wire ...

Right, but you do not set the speedo sensor in the Dash2 config utility. You set it directly through the Dash2, and I didn't see anything about filtering the input for this item.

As Jeremy stated, water temp won't work with the OEM sensors as it's resistive based. I tried that with the IAT, and it didn't work. I was able to get the speedo to work fine using the VSS signal, but you have to figure out how many pulses per mile in order for it to work. To do that, I datalogged t...

Damp Dash2 Speedometer output?

I'm using the vehicle speed sensor on my Honda for the speedo input on my Dash2. It works fine, and it is fairly accurate. However, I am noticing that the output from the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) is not as clean or reliable as I would have hoped. I data logged the output to calculate the pulses pe...
