Thread: Nanocom Evo 2 has landed

YES
The Evo only reports what the ECU is seeing.

Therefore it can not measure EGT, CHT, Gearbox temps, low coolant etc.

I'll be in that.

Dam, put my order in last week. Should have figured a group buy would be heppening soon

Always keen to see what group buying power can achieve, but I don't think there is a lot of margin for BBS to shave off.

The BBS sliding scale of discount for group buys is (and as far as I know always has been) publicly advertised on their website.
- 1 to 4 Units = 0% discount
- 5 to 9 Units = 10% discount
- 10 to 19 Units = 20% discount
- 20+ Units = 22.5% discount

To roll some numbers around, 10 units @ 300 Euro
Less 20% is 2400 Euro (3350 AUD) in a single shipment. This WILL attract duty going through customs which is (I believe) +10% on the total value INCLUDING the shipping costs. Stab in the the dark on shipping costs of $150. + the GST.
Gives a unit price of 385 AUD. Then you have the courier charges to get it from the importer to your door.
Ends up being ~390 - 400 AUD and a few weeks (at best)
Vs 418AUD (at current exchange rate) for the unit DHL'd to your doorstep in 3 -5 days.

Personally I would be happy to pay the extra to have a Nano in a couple of weeks rather than the several weeks a group buy is sure to take. Even with production ramping up it sounds like the backlog keeps getting bigger, so the sooner you get in the sooner you get your shiny new Evo2

I am actually considering getting an Evo2 to replace my Evo1 (funny to think of the Evo 1 as an old model ) I am impressed with the new packaging format. It should be easier to find a permanent home for the Evo2

Based on the slots/grooves cut into the top and bottom of the Evo 2's case I think one of these should allow for good mounting options - maybe on the RHS of the dash binacle. I'm guessing the older and larger Evo would have been a tight fit in there but the new one may just fit without having to be on too large an angle.

How many sleeps til my Evo 2 arrives I wonder...I'm very keen to see what codes are lurking within the ECU. And fiddle with the Auto transmission settings.

EDIT: I started looking at these mounting setups in more detail. It appears that the one I linked to above will not fit the Evo 2. I'll keep looking into it and post back.

I'm curious to see what the auto trans option is capable of......

That is pretty easy to answer:

As far as I can see from the nanocom one 2.06 beta firmware the autobox module covers everything on the above page. The coverage should be consistent across the nanocom range

@ Offtrack
Spot on again chap.
The origional Nanocom software was developed by reverse engineering and monitoring either our own equipment or a later copy of it and then making a copy of that. Sadly as it is with any copy, it is not quite as good and exact as the original. Therfore some more difficult features are lost as well as some understanding and a good degree of relieability,

However BBS develops it's software first hand by direct on real ECU development and our up to 16 years experience means we are second to none in respect of how well we know and understand these systems and we have long since debugged the requirements to diagnostically communicate them to absolute perfection.

Being that the Nanocom is now our product rather than a competitor, we now freely lend and apply that valuable knowledge to aid in it's development and improvement. So it does naturally now have all the capability of our systems and the same communication reliability.

@bel1975
What a great find and my thanks for linking everyone to it.
If you get one and it works well, do let us all know.
Perhaps a piccie

TBH, when i drew up the design for the case Extrusion, i had so much else on my plate with the main Board re design etc, i really did not have much time to even think about mounting options and it was a bit of a bold and forward thinking move to not just cover the sides completely with cooling fins but leave a larger grooove in the middle that was at best a hope that someone would somehow be able to find a way to use it creatively.
If you have found a way with this item, i salute you.

@Peter5111
Also spot on chap.
It's not rocket science to appreciate that when we announced our take over of Nanocom, although many trusted us and put in orders, many were skeptical of our capability and true intent and elected to just sit back and see what the result would be before placing an order with us.
This is understandable as the economic times we live in means money is tight for eveyone and you have to be sure of any expense or investment.

However, quite clearly we been good to our word and have obviously invested shed loads on not only the software for Nanocom One and EVO, but also in re designing and improving the nanocom Evo hardware.

Therfore the orders being added to the waiting list is indeed currently growing faster than ever.

Worst still is that the current Cyprus crisis means we are are experiencing Power cuts of up to 5 hours per day which is naturally seriously hampering production.

In truth it's going to be months before we can supply bulk or discounted Nanocom Evolution 2's
