wideband cluster mod
I'm sure i'll catch hell for removal of a functional tach, but I don't even use it any way.. I drive by ear and setup a CEL shift light if I need to know when to shift hard on it.
flame suit is on.. opinions of all kind welcome
BOSCH wideband sensor: $25
Wideband controller with display: $40
total investment: $65.00

Re: wideband cluster mod (marcj)
I like! But there HAS to be a way to get both gauges to fit. At one point I had integrated the guts of an autometer mechanical boost gauge in a way such that the needle action was at the bottom 1/4 of the tach where it's open a little bit. It took a few nights, some trial and error, and a lot of dremeling but It turned out pretty nice IMHO for what it was. If I had to do it again i'm sure I could do it faster and nicer. Any pics of the backside of the lambda gauge to see what you have to work with? :thumbsup: either way though!

Re: wideband cluster mod (Tulo)
now that I look at the tach a little more, yeah it's possible with a little cutting.. I didn't want to do anything I couldn't put back together if something went wrong.
I will try sometime when I pick up another cluster
oh yeah, sorry I already have the cluster back in the car.. those are the only pics I took..

Re: (dc2turbo)
I got the wideband setup from a friend.. you can get the same setup from 14point7.com.. Alan To is a great guy and his customer service is top notch.
he has a new version out .. 1.04 which has EGT and daisy chained displays. I plan on upgrading and stacking the displays the same way once I get the chance.. then again I've been scoping out neptunes tuner display also

Re: (marcj)
Just de-solder the LED digits, then reconnect them via a ribbon cable from a PC's HDD cable. It becomes 1/2 the thickness and 1/3 narrower.
Worst-case it will stick out a tad to allow for the mechanicals. I'm definately looking into this (lean-burn on my beater!), since the controller is so cheap. I already have an LC-1 & spare sensors, but that's used for moving from car to car.

He said he got it from a friend, so he didn't have to pay retail.
You may as well just get 3 new 1.1 displays, since the 4th will be RPM - then you don't need the old-school needle. Supposedly a future firmware release will let you select which of the 4 you want; it's always 1.AFR-2.EGT-3.BOOST-4.RPM atm.
I've been looking at the 14point7.com site, and I'm probably going to get 2 units for perm install. I figure if the LCD display is $6 in parts, and you don't need the $17 board (he published the schematic), $6+wiring is a steal. The LC-1 I use for tuning uses the O-meter, which goes for ~$69...
Overall with the O2 connectors, I figured ~$185 for 2 controllers and 6 displays. Amazon has the sensors for $48 atm, so if you figure under $150 for everything NEW, it's a GREAT deal. It's not perfect for tuning IMO, but the best perm install for your dollar.

Re: (marcj)
i'm also thinking about putting a see-through black film in front of the digits, so it only shows the active LED numbers and hides the unused portion, which is only noticeable during daylight..
