FastP.ART EZ Dash – The Best Value 7 Inch CAN Digital Display for Link ECU Users
The FastP.ART EZ Dash is a compact 7 inch CAN based digital display built for tuners, engine builders, and anyone wiring a modern performance car. It gives you the essential engine data you need without the high price tag of a full motorsport dash. At £332.50 (ex VAT), nothing else on the market offers the same mix of screen quality, durability, and Link ECU compatibility.
This makes the EZ Dash one of the most attractive entry level digital displays for anyone running Link G4X, Link G4+, or standalone ECUs that output a similar CAN stream.
What the EZ Dash Is Designed For
Most people installing a dash want three things:
- A clear, bright screen you can read at a glance
- Straightforward CAN integration with the ECU
- A housing that can survive in a real car, not a desktop
The FastP.ART EZ Dash covers all three.
The display runs a crisp 800x480 resolution, which is ideal for fast moving data like RPM, boost, and temperatures. The unit is built into a solid billet aluminium enclosure, giving it proper rigidity and shielding. It is designed for harsh vibration, heat, and the general punishment track cars receive.
No plastic shell. No hobby grade parts.
Compatible With Link ECU Out of the Box
Right now, the dash supports Link ECU’s Generic Dash2 CAN Stream, which includes all the major engine parameters. You simply connect CAN high and CAN low, enable the stream in PCLink, and the dash comes alive.
Future firmware updates will add:
- More plug and play CAN streams with no custom coding
- More display layouts
- Expanded parameter lists
- Additional ECU compatibility
This makes the EZ Dash a strong long term option. You are not buying a static display. You are buying hardware that will evolve.
Key Engine Parameters Displayed
The EZ Dash shows all the real world information a tuner actually needs:
- RPM
- Speed in MPH
- Engine coolant temperature
- Inlet air temperature
- Oil temperature
- Oil pressure
- Fuel pressure
- Lambda
- MAP or MGP
- Throttle position (TPS)
- Battery voltage
- Fuel level via CAN from the ECU or an external module
This covers everything needed for safe running, tuning, and diagnosing.
Real CAN Communication, Not Slow Serial Data
A lot of cheaper displays use slow serial communication or rely on clunky Bluetooth modules. That is fine for a simple street gadget, but not for engines under load.
The EZ Dash communicates over proper CAN bus, which means:
- Fast refresh rates
- Minimal signal delay
- Cleaner data
- More reliability at high RPM
- Better resistance to electrical noise
It also includes a built in 120 ohm termination resistor, so you do not need to add one externally unless your setup requires it.
Why It Is Unbeatable at £332.50 ex VAT
If you compare the EZ Dash to other displays in the £300 to £500 price range, it stands out immediately.
Most alternatives offer:
- Plastic housings
- Lower resolution screens
- No Link ECU CAN support
- No fuel pressure or oil pressure readings
- Slow refresh rates
- Limited CAN compatibility
The EZ Dash gives you:
- Billet aluminium housing
- 800x480 display
- Link ECU Generic Dash2 CAN support
- Full CAN based sensor support
- Fuel level over CAN
- Upcoming firmware upgrades
- A clean and simple user interface
You would normally have to spend £600 to £1,200 for a motorsport display with this level of build quality.
This is why the EZ Dash is such good value. You get the core functionality of a proper ECU dash without the usual price jump.
Installation: Simple Wiring for Real Cars
Wiring is straightforward:
- CAN high
- CAN low
- 12 volt ignition feed
- Ground
If your Link ECU already has a terminated CAN bus, the dash drops straight in. If not, the built in termination resistor can be enabled to complete the line.
Mounting is flexible as well. The billet casing has solid points for brackets, panels, or custom enclosures, so you can fit it into dashboards, centre consoles, or custom switch panels.
Best Use Cases
The EZ Dash is ideal for:
- Turbo road cars
- Track and time attack builds
- Restomods running standalone ECUs
- Drift cars that need fast visual data
- Kit cars and engine swaps
- Budget motorsport projects where reliability still matters
It gives you the information you need in a format that is readable, durable, and simple to use.
Future Proofed With Firmware Updates
FastP.ART are actively developing the firmware. Planned updates include:
- Customisable screen layouts
- Additional ECU CAN templates
- More advanced warnings and alarms
- Wider sensor support
You are buying into hardware that will grow with your project, not something that stays frozen at a basic feature set.
Final Thoughts: The Best Entry Level ECU Dash Available Now
The FastP.ART EZ Dash sits in a sweet spot between traditional gauges and full motorsport displays. It is bright, simple, strong, CAN based, and affordable. For anyone running a Link ECU, it is one of the most complete options available under £500.
It gives you the core data you need to protect your engine and tune with confidence, without the complexity or cost of higher end dashes.
At £332.50 ex VAT, nothing else comes close.
