CantrakProblem was development costs.Licencing issues and paying a royalty to manufacturer with limited number of potential sales killed any enthusiasm I had in the project.I'm still keen on a solution though. Biggest hurdle was access to FORD's CAN controller protocol. In other words, deciphering the commands on the OBDII port to extract the info you want.There is just so much information available from the ECU on the CAN bus.All the parameters you could wish for when modding your T.....Ambient air temp, post IC air temp, manifold air temp (so as to assess IC performance.Water temp, oil temp , trans oil temp all available for monitoring, Boost pressure at turbo and at manifold, rpm, speed, gear selected etc etcWith a bit of memory storage, could be used as a data logger to assess performance of key parameters when drag racing or circuit racing.With access to all the codes, of course, you could program the ECU directly and have your own EDIT facility.....Can be an exceptional tool, but will cost a significant amount as there is such a small market from which to recover development costs.I will certainly keep my eyes on this thread for a potential product though.....cheersalltom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofalke Member 658 Member For: 20y 2m 11d Location: Mexico Posted 23/08/05 08:26 AM Share Posted 23/08/05 08:26 AM Hardware wise you could look into dge.com.au. We use them for all our small pc gear. Maybe a bit expensive but they have a few cheaper ex demo etc stock of old 386/486 small all in one boards which may be suitable.Matt<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks Matt,This is a smaller footprint than what I was currently using, I'll look into pricing.Pretzel<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hows is it going Pretzel?
