Pro Edition, Haltech Elite 2500 ECU

Wanted to play with the Haltech Elite 2500 ECU again.  This time with more data.  Went to Chadata Tuning in San Antonio and was able to play with a bad ass VW Bug with a ez 30 (Subaru 3.0) swap running Haltech’s Elite 2500 Series ECU.  Very cool.  On the Pro Edition 7″ Digital Dash in the video its running the Carmoto layout.

So data wise I’m only converting to Freedom units on stuff like Coolant Temp and such.  The rest I’m displaying as pulled from the ECU.  Ie: the Elite 2500 series sends pressure data as kPa.  In an upcoming release there will be an option to select Freedom Units (PSI, *F etc) vs Metric (*C, kPa and so on).  Data like Lambda will remain as Lambda.

Aluminum Column Mounts in design!

At NexGenEFI, we prioritize collaborating with small businesses to harness their unique skills.
 
This adjustable aluminum mount for the 5″ and 7″ NexGenEFI Digital Dash is designed by Hector, the owner of HG Manufacturing. Please contact HG Manufacturing for custom part design solutions. They offer in-house design services.
 
These aluminum mounts fit 1.25″ steering columns and will be available soon!

Always writin’ code!

Layout progress

Two new layouts have been added and two removed.  One is the “Race layout” and the second is called “Majestic”.  Please go to the Gallery to look at the photos to see all the current layouts included in a digital dash.  In progress is the Motorcycle layout. 
 *Race layout – this layout allows the end user to select 9 different data points to display on the race layout.

Locating dot has been added to each layout.  It is a GREEN DOT which notifies the user where the touch sensitive area is which enables said user to access the Configuration Screen.

Documentation

Over the next few days, the website will be updated to reflect the functionality added to the NexGenEFI Digital Dash.

New Products

NexGenEFI goes beyond just offering a digital dash. Our aim is to deliver technology and data to your NexGenEFI digital dash swiftly, accurately, and with visual appeal.

Introducing NexNODE, the first expansion in the NexGenEFI Ecosystem. This device brings 8 additional inputs and 2 EGT sensor inputs to your digital dash. It communicates data efficiently via CANBus to the NexLink Pro ECU Interface, ensuring prompt and clear data display.

Currently the PCB is in testing.

Custom bezels, mounts and MORE thru CarChains3D.com

NexGenEFI has paired with one of the most talented 3D designers / printers to bring you not just mounts but a variety of mounting solutions.

You can also purchase a NexGenEFI Digital Dash thru CarChains3D.com if you’d like to get your custom designed bezel, mounts etc all at once.

Have a look at CarChains3D.com to look at the different options and also see the kind of quality products designed and printed by CarChains3D.

EFI Source Gold Box EFI news

If you’re looking to pair the NexGenEFI Digital Dash with a Megasquirt3 based EFI setup, head over to EFI Source!

This is the same EFI setup I run in my turbo LS Camaro.  If you  need additional inputs to that EFI setup, speak with Mike and he can hook you up with what you need.  Not just the EFI setup but injectors, harness, additional input box etc.  While you’re there you can add the digital dash to it.

ECU Support update

ECU Testing progress

Had some fun today.  Headed down to see Chad Berryhill over at Chadata Tuning who has been extremely helpful with his wide array of knowledge for many aftermarket ECUs.

Today I tested (for the last time) Holley code.  I had made updates to pull as much info from the CAN stream and wanted to ensure 100% compatibility.   Took out my beater display which has seen its fair share of bumps.  Its based on the old case design which I personally like.  It is available so I’ll add it to the website just in case someone else wants that same design.

Anyway, today’s test was with the Holley Term X TBI rig on a SBC, naturally aspirated.

Here ya go!

Haltech ECU test

The next test was with the Haltech Elite 2500 series.  I have all of the code written but need to make minor changes.  So this video was to test connectivity, data transfer speed and just read RPM. 

Worked perfect.  I’ll update the rest of the code and ensure data points are available in the Configuration Screen.

Here ya go!

Update

Online Sales
Sales are back open.  I have 2 3D printers running, printing cases for the new design.

 

ECU Support
Haltech code is written and ready for testing.  I’ll get that tested this week.

Link ECU code is being written, so it is coming also! 🙂

New Case designs coming!

New Case!

While I thought the smaller 5″ square type case was “ok” and the 7″ case also, there was room for a more modern look.

Well here ya go!  All printed in ABS for durability.  Being that its new, I am behind printing cases.  I will have it on the website I believe Sunday (12/10/2023) but there may be a 1-2 day delay in shipping while I get caught up printing cases. 

NexGenEFI Shop and Status Update

Online Shop
The NexGenEFI Shop page is accessible!

There are various payment methods available from Credit Cards to Affirm for payment plans.

 

Development
I am still working on additional layouts for the displays and will have a Pro Edition update page under the Support menu.  You will go there to check for updates to the firmware and the display layouts.

There are other products in design stage that are add-ons to the NexGenEFI Ecosystem.  Stay tuned to the Facebook page as that is where the latest news shows up.  Once on the Facebook page, it will appear within a few hours to a day on this page.

Progress Update: Sneak Peek of the Pro Edition Slim

The long hours are paying off.  Over the course of the past year spent long nights writing code, finding bugs, networking with aftermarket EFI manufacturers to come up with a product that is cost competitive in the market.

Here is a sneak peek at the NexGenEFI Pro Edition Slim digital dash.

Power is supplied from your vehicle at 12V along with Ground and various inputs to the ECU interface which is connected to the remote mount display via CAT5e cable.  The CAT5e cable supplies data and power to the display.

The PCB can be moved a distance away from the display.  NexGenEFI, LLC will supply a 3′ CAT5e cable but additional lengths will be available.

5″, 7″ and 10″ versions will be available along with something special that is being designed.  I would even go out on a limb and say this special thing is even better than the 10″ display.  

Stay tuned, there is still additional layouts to add which are already designed and cleaning up code for the current EFI systems which are supported.

On the to-do list is additional EFI systems to support and “Layout Packs” which can be added to the display.
