Tired of your tach not going high enough??

[burkey001]

Yeah its not too technically difficult, just fiddly. There are 14 wires I have jumped.
Lucky its a single sided board, makes life easy.

I have an E92 M3 cluster I was hoping to use. But that thing is like the space station compared to the E30 cluster board. All CANBUS and SMD devices... Quickly went into the too hard basket.

So hey, I have an E92 M3 cluster (6MT) for sale :)

here is the finished item

lol that's just a few jumpers. what's so hard about that?

[Roysneon]

I saw that and thought 'Wow, I wonder if he'd whip off another spacer so I could copy his idea until I saw the work you did to the circuit board. Fuck that.


Looks good in there and nice work on it.

yeah, basically. finding a datasheet for the old coding plug chip is pretty tough. I might try to buy a new one and see if they've got a newer chip that I can actually find info on.

DIY coding plug and printout?

I've got a coding plug that i'll happily donate to science (cue GLaDOS).

[nando]

yeah, it actually looks pretty good, and at least he took the effort to fit it in the stock housing. no hate here. :)

I'd like to have a solution for a totally custom tach using the stock electronics but that will be a while.

[u3b3rg33k]

I'm with nando, but still, do work son!

[singh336]

wow

[M-technik-3]

Looks great.

BTW - How high of a tach do you need?

8.5k should do it, dont think there will be a real need to go much higher.
Engine spec is (currently being built):
euro S50B30
- Cat Cams #1303413 (285, 279 deg, 12.5mm lift)
- Cat Cams shim under bucket cam followers
- Cat Cams light retainers
- PAC racing dbl valve springs
- VAC hardened valve locks
- Supertech inconel valve, undercut, 3 angle, +1mm
- bit of porting massaging
- Pauter rods
- Wossner 12.5:1 forged pistons
- VAC coated bearings
- fully balanced rotating assembly
- DTA S100
- VAC oil filter block
- peterson 4 stage dry sump pump
- moroso dry sump pan
- big ol' DTM carbon airbox
- lots of ARP bolts

should be a bit of a chuckle when its back & running :)

Not exactly OEM - but good work on fitting it. Must have been a PITA.

BTW - How high of a tach do you need?

[burkey001]

Good on the British, nothing like standards.
The Stack speedo is 7mm bigger than a Stack tacho.. obviously!

Anyway here is what the pair looks like

[reelizmpro]

Very cool. Would like to see how well it works in there.

[Adrian_Visser]

I've thought about doing this too. I'm so fucking tired of glitchy 20 year old e30 clusters always fucking up. Now do the gas and coolant temp gauges too.

[ACHTUNG]

I went the expensive route and bought an E30M3 cluster and installed a E28M5 coding plug.
