SI Shift Lights - by E30 Innovative Goods

[E30 Innovative Goods]

Used correctly it would be adjusted so that the first light didn't come on until you were close to your shift point. IE, it would never light up until you wound the engine out.

When you turn your key to Accy position LEDs show you service interval reading. With ignition on shiftlights are activated.

Our goal wasn't making night rider cheesy look shiftlights that goes on with 800rpms but to make it as realistic and funcitonal as they should be.
So we decided to take the rpms where engine torque starts to drop as a max, all seven LEDs starts to blink.
Then with max-200rpm...5 green, yellow LED ligths on,
with max-400rpm...all 5 green LEDs are on,
with max-600rpm...4 green LEDs are on,
..
with max-1200rpm...1 green LED is on.
Below that no lightshow...

The last video is just a demonstration of calibration...

I expect that nobody cruises past 5k rpm mark :pimp:

Can you make the shift light able to be switched off so it doesn't always have to be used?

It can be done, but I don't think it is necessary

This is something I have been thinking about for ever! Thank you for you effort!!

OK, we decided to add a switch so you can use it to switch between day/night illumination.

If you want to use it as on/off switch just set day illumination to lowest setting possible.

You do realize that you will have to route to wires out of the cluster to your favorite switch position?

Switch is an option, if you like it you use it, if you don't then there is no need to route wires etc...

How does that sound?

wow! nice project, I have an e30 with a 24v obd1 engine swap, it should work since rpm signal is the same from the tach right? is the first batch already out? :D

So sick sign me up.

I'm in for these, when do you expect to start selling them?

Going to take a guess that the third project is variable speed windshield wipers.

I'm definitely interested, if the price is right. Been looking for a nice progressive shift light and the only ones that are somewhat appealing are the Shift-I from Ecliptech.

To me the switch seems like unnecessary clutter but as an owner of George's SI voltmeter I wouldn't be a potential customer. I just think sometimes with these types of pieces its better to keep it simple rather than appeal to every request.
