Ok 6-cylinder swappers: We need your Code Plug!!

[garretvs]

For any of you 4-cylinder guys swapping in a 6-cylinder, you will need a 6-cyl "Coding Plug", which is located on the back of the instrument cluster, so that your tachometer reads correctly.

We need a 4-cyl Coding Plug to make our V8 engine tach signal interface to the instrument cluster: So want to trade?? Our E30 had an M20 engine it, and was a 1986.

See our swap thread "E30-ls1" in the Members Rides forum

I have one for you.

You were nice enough to send me your drawings for the brake setup, so I'll send this along to you.

PM or email me your address.

I also have one, I'd just need to pull it out. if you need a backup, I have one.

HI there. I know that two people were good enough to put their hand up prior to me but i'm in desperate need of a e30 325i coding plug.

I was wondering since I am also in the e30 v8 club now I was wondering what are you using/doing to make the stock tack work? i have been looking at this

but before I drop the $80 just wanted to poke around and see what other options are out there....

Just use the 318 coding plug. The V8s send the same frequency as a 4 banger.

We don't need the code plug anymore. We found out during the swap that all we had to do was have the GM PCM re-flashed to output a signal compatible with a 6-cyl tach.

If you're doing a different kind of swap (not GM engine) we can't help you.

BTW: The "How-To" do the E30-LS1 swap CD is available for $99 -- 21 chapters that cover everything: wiring, mounts, fuel system, A/C, HydroBoost etc etc PM us for info :-D
