Haltech / Racepak

Well need some help understanding racepak and how I can get my haltech nexus s3 (IO extender too but all haltech can) to ultimately display values on the racepak 12.3 dash. My understanding originally was the flow would look something like this, haltech CAN -> UNIVERSAL EFI INTERFACE MODULE -> V-NET -> Dash. However I think I maybe be missing a key part here as the datalink2 software from racepak is not seeing the UNIVERSAL EFI INTERFACE MODULE. Sorry for the basic question I am coming from AEM and really do not have much experience with racepak, but liked the bigger dash for my boat so figured I would jump in and try it out. Is my only option here to add a racepak data logger to the mix as well ? not the end of the world, just want to make sure I understand the path forward before I go that route. Thank you in advance.

Thanks,

Nick

What problem are you trying to solve? A disparity in size of the AEM CD{presumably CD5}? Haltech has an IC7 and a UC10 Dash that works natively with the Haltech EcoSystem,

If you want bigger than that, Motec has a C1212 that not only would work, but allows for a lot of features as well for additional configuration.

I was running a aem infinity 308 with a cd7 before. Once I was able to figured out the default settings in the racepak dash were interfering with the haltech CAN signal and once adjusted I was able to get them to at least talk. From there I was able to map all my “normal” engine sensors as well as my boat sensors such as drive, trim tab limits. Since I didnt find much of any racepak / haltech videos on youtube I think ill create a video of what I ran into.

the reason why i dont think theres much to be found is due to racepak's lack of support, documentation and upkeep with the market over the past.... decade.

Yeah, for what it was meant to do its simple and works with vnet sensors and data logging but I think it followed the same path other companies that were acquired by Holley, which seems like all new dev stops and products fade away. Either way its working and the 12” display looks great on the boat.
