Goga Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Just needed some expert advice on the following. I am looking to do a digital dash conversion on my mk4 supra 1994. Now it currently has obd1 port but i tried a o d1 to obd2 converter with no luck. I guess the question is can i get readings like speed, oil temp, water temp etc from the apexi power fc? If so what is required to extract these readings? Thanks Edited November 14, 2018 by Goga (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Well the hand held Commander show these but whether the data format is proprietary or a common format I do not know. I would guess that finding out, capturing it and using to drivve a digi display could be possible, but well over my head. CanBus data is bad enough to extract, convert and use. if you could find out the data format it would be a big help, but is it worth it when you can buy a different ecu that will drive a digi dash directly?

Goga Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I never considered changing ecu as it came with the car. WIll have to do some exploration on data formats provided through the Apexi, Thanks for the response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The Apexi was OK in its day with a dedicated ECU for manual TT's but it's very outdated now and prices of better ECU's have fallen. Whilst I consider MOTEC the pinnacle taking reliability, features and most of all SUPPORT and number of competent MAPPERS into account, you will find the LINK ecu's exceptional value for money.

Goga Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 What would the cost be if for example i buy a link ecu and have it mapped to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
