I have a Race Technology data logger and dash and was going to use the same senders, provided they are supplied with a calibration sheet, i.e. what resistance at what temperature / pressure!

let me know how you get on if you would...I have to conect the sensors direct to the dash and the analog inputs to the dash mean that 5-12 v needs to be supplied to the sensor from a source and then the sensor will vary the input to the sensor channel on the dash. For a std temp sensor with a single pin this will be a problem I think!

I've just ordered two VDO pressure sensors (oil and fuel pressure) and an oil temperature sender from ETB. They'll provide the data for them as well so they shouldn't be too hard to set up!

There are some useful topics on the Race Technology Forum -

5 volt feed to sensors

VDO sensors and data figures

And on here -
How to wire the sensors

I hope this all helps!

I'll keep you updated - hoping to get them wired in over the weekend although I don't have my logger / dash or ECU as they are all still with Emerald.

Regards

Wyn
