Arse! Once you get the later spec dials, jabba I think do a conversion module so the RPM works ;-) Good luck with the conversion, give me a shout if you need to check anything or get stuck.. I'm sure you'll be fine, its a pretty easy conversion but give me a shout none the less.. Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Once you get the later spec dials, jabba I think do a conversion module so the RPM works Wink ? I was under the impression that the ME7 kicks out the wrong signal for the RPM.. therefore you need to convert the signal so that you get an accurate readout for the corrado dials... or am i getting mixed up with the speed?? Its one of them.. ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Part right, it's the Speedo that wont work, The 2.0 16V clocks run direct off the speed sensor in the box and the 20VT sends the signal through the ECU so I need the magical doo dah from Jabba to make it work!!!
