Even on the EL Falcon the instrument cluster gets alot of its data drectly from the ECU. It saves doubling up on sensors. You cant tap into these lines either. Needs a bit of looking into IMO.

There is no issue in having three gauges.Types that could be installed:- Boost- Oil Pressure- Engine Oil Temperature- Transmission Temperature- Air/Fuel Mix- Radar Detector (also has an outside temp reading on it to fool the cops)- Voltmeter- AmmeterTheoretically you could source all sorts of data from the ECU, there was a guy a while ago on this forum who was to do this and display on the ICC. But... it isnt necessary for the gauges we use above. Interfaces would cost lots to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoon Member 284 Member For: 19y 2m 10d Gender: Male Posted 23/07/06 01:46 AM Share Posted 23/07/06 01:46 AM I am still going to do the 3 gauge holder but have put it on hold atm, as I already have enough on my plate with other products I will be releasing and am busy producing currently. The drawings for the holder are complete and yes you can squeeze 3 gauges in. My current workload means I probably wont start tooling up for another 3 months, release date unknown, but I am planning for a release before the end of the year. That is unless somebody else does it first, if this happens, I will scrap the project and go onto the next project. Hey Adam, do you know if somebody else is doing this, if so, could you PM me as I dont want to copy products already being done.CheersJeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
