New V400 /3dV4 Dash.
 
Well I am very Happy!!! This new interface has made life so much better for legal EFI use in Australia. The problem is that the old handset can change fuel and spark making it illegal to have fiited while driving in Australia. The New Dashboard looks sexy displays heaps and provides a great display of engine data. This means that Australians can now use the Dash to watch all your data while keeping it legal.
Disclaimer( this is my personal opinion and I don't own a dash YET! )

Cheers
Michael Smith :)

Unfortunately (opposed to what I have read) the new PC software isnīt free. Thatīs a shame.

CrackHeadMel 06-30-06 08:41 PM

What? no free software? Price?

pilot 06-30-06 08:46 PM

Well to be fair they also charged for there original software and you needed a licence key. However what do you get for $100 these days. Antivirus software only lasts 1 year and you need to renew. I hope that they make it free soon but it looks very promising. If we all hang on for a while and see what happens. I would suggest that it would have cost about $30, 000 in R&D for the software going by current rates and the time required to develop it.


Ok what about the Dash what do you think? My guess is it would be a good addition to my car and it would keep the police off my back.
R&D for the dash? ????

do you mean like a digital dash where as you would just output all the sensor data to a screen? Tims started working one one for the haltech a few yearsa go.. it got expensive iirc

a dash would be cool, if you could make it fit where the stock cluster goes

pilot 07-01-06 09:42 AM

I found the dash price too high. It costs half the price of the ECU!

RotorMotor2 07-01-06 01:42 PM

im still trying to figure out if the dash unit replaces the hand controller, for example, you unplug the hand controller and plug in the dash, and also are you saying that you cannot use the dash to tune or change things? well thats not all so bad in either case because i tune with laptop anyways, lucky for me my little brother just purchaced a new ecu and the new software will come with it !

pilot 07-01-06 02:02 PM


There is a comprehensive tuning system allowing you to set Rev Limits, Temperature Compensators, Trims, and many other parameters. The Fuel and Ignition Maps remain fixed for tuning stability. Use Wolf PC Software to tune the Fuel and Ignition maps of your Wolf V400 (3DV4) ECU.
From here:
http://wolfems.cart.net.au/details/632479.html

You can change several things, but not everything. It doesnīt replace a hand-controller totally, but it does it partially.
If money is not an issue , Iīd buy the dash and tune using a laptop and the new software :)

Michael Smith 07-01-06 11:55 PM

My guess is that they are going to move out of the Handcontroller and use the Dash to meet legal requirements for road going cars here in Oz then to tune you would need a laptop. Don't be surprised if you see the handcontrol being phased out over the coming months.

CrackHeadMel 07-02-06 08:15 AM

Hrm, fuel and ignition maps reman fixed, that kind of kills it for me


The new software though does look better and better every time i look at it

Michael Smith 07-03-06 06:45 AM

You can still use the standard software and handcontroller to tune. It is just the Dash is designed to meet Oz requirements that is you mustn't be able to change fuel and Ignition with any interface connected to the ECU while on Australian roads.

who is the best wolf 3d tuner

Michael Smith 08-20-06 04:40 AM

That depends on where you live.

Give us a location and maybe we could point you to a tuner in your area...or you could do it yourself.

a little money from us for software probably goes a long way for them for making the software better and better.
the new v4s software is one of the main things that attracted me to this ecu, not to mention wolf usa is pretty close by so i get someone who can really kick ass tuning this computer
