My RPM gauge only goes to 5k?

[tightithrash]

im confused here.... ive been looking at gauge clusters for 325is's and they all go to 7K. i looked at my e30s today and mine only goes to 5K.... tripped me out so i checked the vin and its a 325is.... whats the deal?

Pic of motor will solve this mystery. Cluster swapped at some point?

[tightithrash]

Here's the only pic of the motor I have right now. Not at home.



I thought about a cluster swap but why go backwards?

[VinniE30]

Cluster is from an eta.

[tightithrash]

Ok. So I need a new cluster. Awesome.

Are you only taking it to red line? If so you are missing out big time.

The M20 really comes to life from 4k to 6.5k

[James Crivellone]

That's an early 84 - 03/86 cluster as well

if and when you replace it, i'll buy the e cluster from you if the odometer works. is it a vdo or motometer?

Not really haha I wondered why when I took it there I never herd the rev limiter..

The odometer doesn't work... Which makes me really wonder now how many miles this car has....

Total noob question but we are sure it's an M20 by that photo yes? I could figure it out if I was at home but I'm not and it's bugging me.... Cuz that would suck if it wasn't...

[atmobenzin]

Its m20 either way.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Its definitely a m20b25. The intake manifold is a dead giveaway.

[Killacortes]

I bet looks real cool hittin redline all the time :)

What's the difference?

[tightithrash]

ok great thanks guys. i guess im on the hunt for a cluster. maybe thats why my temp gauge worked at one point and now doesnt... bad connection possibly.... well hey now ill just red line this bitch for days!
