I am having a hell of a time wrapping my mind around the Racepak setup. I want to run an IQ3 Display dash and have the ability to upgrade to a G2X to data log in the future. The application will be a ’03 Mustang that will see limited street / HPDE activity. This car will utilize “stock” Ford electronics from a ’98 Ford. I do realize that the IQ3 Logger makes more sense, but I am working with a limited budget and really like the ability to upgrade to the G2X in the future.
If I understand the IQ3 correctly, it will give me (among other GPS related info) Speedo, Tach and Voltage with the standard unit wired in with no additional sensors. I also want the ability to monitor the following info:
Engine Oil Pressure
Engine Oil Temperature
Fuel Pump Pressure
Water Temperature
If I’m not mistaken, I can use a USM with the appropriate sensors and cables to monitor these four parameters. I believe that I understand the how to determine the correct sensors to use, but I am unclear how to choose the correct cables to connect between the sensors and the USM. How do I determine the correct cables to use?
I also understand that I can use another USM to trigger the warning lights on the IQ3 for the following:
Engine Oil Pressure
Engine Oil Temperature
Fuel Pump Pressure
Water Temperature
I do not understand how to make this happen. I do understand this would be considered a “voltage event”. What do I need to do to make this work? In the future; when I add the G2X logger, will I still be able to use these warning lamps as indicators?
I would also like to use the open slot on the second USM to monitor the Fuel level with the stock Ford sending unit. Is this possible and if so how do I do that?
I also want the ability to add Throttle Position, Steering Position and Brake Pressure in the future when the G2X is added.
Thanks in advance for help!
