Hey guys - I'm not sure if this is a subject that has been beaten to death before (I certainly wasn't able to find any threads on it), but has anyone here ever attempted to make use of the boxster or cousin 996 gauge clusters in a conversion? I was able to find a pin-out diagram for the boxster cluster which makes it look doable. Just curious if there was any fancy shmancy communications between the cluster and the ECU that would need to be worked around?

QUOTE(timothy_nd28 @ Sep 22 2014, 10:20 AM)  Awesome! Sorry for sending you down a wrong path, it makes perfect sense now No worries - all of the feedback was helpful! Even learned a ton about air-core motors in the process. It's great having the support and experience of this community while tackling things that are just a bit (sometimes more than a "bit") over my head! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
