Note: I did search.
Note 2: Both are VDO clusters.
I have an 88 S-eta that I plan to swap an "i" top end into. Some would call it a stroker build, but I suppose it is a top-end build, maybe? IDK...
Anyway, I want to swap in the intalke side, cam, valve springs, etc. Once I get the new DME installed, the car will rev above the current redline, so the tach will be too short to actually reflect the true RPM. The solution (according to simplyeta.net) is to swap in an "i" gauge cluster, which I have in my possession.
Both are VDO units from 88 models, and the donor car is even manufactured the same month as my eta.
What needs to be done in order for the tach, speedo, and odometer on the "i" cluseter to read properly?
I have read that I should use the coding plug/chip from whichever DME I am using, but will it be properly calibrated to higher-flow injectors (I plan to run 17.5 or 19 lb./hr injectors).
Bonus issues:
1. I am about to install the cluster BEFORE doing the head swap or installing my new injectors.
I don't really plan to drive the car much between the time of the install of the cluster and the head swap, but I WILL be installing my 3.73 LSD and will do a short test-drive to ensure that it is in properly.
Will I have any issues?
2. I DID decide to go with 17.5 or 19 lb./hr injectors. How will this change what I need to do (if anything) to have the cluster be accurate?
