Sodemo EV11 compatible dashboard: modernize your instrumentation without replacing your computer

Sodemo EV11 compatible dashboard: keep your electronic architecture and modernize your instrumentation

For more than twenty years, the Sodemo EV11 ECU was installed in many competition vehicles. Renowned for its reliability and performance, it is still today present on many cars engaged in rally, hill climb, endurance, circuit or autocross.
The real challenge is more the ECU itself.
It has often become difficult to find a Sodemo EV11 Compatible Dashboard able to offer modern instrumentation while maintaining the existing electronic architecture.
In XAP Technology, we have developed a simple solution: allow users to Sodemo EV11 ECU to benefit from all the functionalities of the Dash NT5 XAP, without calling into question the years of development already carried out on their vehicle.

Why is replacing a dashboard becoming a problem with the Sodemo EV11?

The Sodemo EV11 ECU was designed to last.
On many vehicles, it always drives perfectly:

  • engine injection;
  • ignition;
  • motor strategies;
  • CAN acquisitions;
  • engine safety.

The maps have been validated for sometimes several seasons.
The wiring harness is perfectly reliable.
The engine works exactly as desired.
However, when a dashboard becomes obsolete, broken down or insufficient, many owners discover that compatible solutions have become rare.

The first answer often consists in proposing a complete replacement of the electronics.
This solution usually involves:

  • replacement of the ECU;
  • loom modification;
  • new engine calibration;
  • bench tests;
  • circuit validations.

In other words: dozens of working hours while the vehicle is working perfectly.

A smarter alternative: keep the Sodemo EV11 ECU

At XAP Technology, our philosophy is different.
We consider that a high-performance vehicle should not be completely redesigned simply because an electronic component is no longer available.
This is why we have developed the compatibility of the Dash NT5 XAP with the Sodemo EV11 ECU.
This approach helps to preserve all the development already carried out while benefiting from a modern, scalable and fully configurable instrumentation.

The advantages of the Dash NT5 XAP compatible Sodemo EV11

The Dash NT5 XAP offers complete instrumentation adapted to the requirements of modern motorsport.
Among its main features:

  • High brightness display perfectly readable in direct sunlight;
  • Fully customizable pages;
  • configurable engine alarms;
  • Display of pressures, temperatures, engine speed, gear engaged and battery voltages;
  • CAN communication with the Sodemo EV11 ECU;
  • Regular software updates;
  • Development and manufacturing in France.

The system is designed to naturally integrate into the existing electronic architecture to limit changes to the vehicle.

Which vehicles still use a Sodemo EV11 ECU?

The Sodemo EV11 is still present on many racing cars.
It is found in particular on:

VehicleDiscipline
Renault Clio II CupCircuit
Renault Clio III CupCircuit
Renault Clio F2000Rally
Peugeot 106 S16F2000 / Rally
Citroen Saxo VTSGroup A / F2000
NC prototypesEndurance / Circuit
Hill racing vehiclesMountain
Autocross vehiclesEarth

This list nis not exhaustive. The Sodemo EV11 has also been used on many vehicles developed by specialized trainers and engine manufacturers.

Why keep your Sodemo EV11 ECU?

An engine computer often represents several hundred development hours.

Over the seasons, the teams gradually validate:

  • engine maps;
  • management strategies;
  • the settings ofinjection;
  • sensor calibration;
  • loom reliability.

Replace the set of this architecture to install a new dashboard is not always the most relevant solution.
Maintain a system that works while only modernizing the instrumentation allows to limit costs, delays and risks of regression.
