Standalone 85/86 Digital Dash

Featured Replies

Since I'm not sure where to put this, I figured here would be a good place since it'll contain useful information. Also, it's sort of like retro fitting. :drunk:

 

I'm picked up this beautiful 85/86 Digital Dash from Suberdave for next to nothing, and now that I don't have EA82, I figured it'd be a cool bar decoration.

 

In the following posts, I'll try to outline it the best I can and/or progress pics.

 

Enjoy!

UPDATE: I started looking for pigtails to use so I don't have to cut/modify the cluster in ANY way.

 

So I went searching knowing that JECS made just about everything for Japanese car makers in the 80s/90s, so I went to my local Pull A Part and started looking at the few 80s stuff they had currently.

 

After some searching and heartbreak, I found an 89 Civic Sedan (DX) with EFI has the BANG on connectors for the combined/black 16/20 pin and the 20 pin white plug.

 

Pull the 3 piece plug from the ECU, located below the glove box, under the carpet of the pass. side footwell. 3 down, 1 to go!

...I figured it'd be a cool bar decoration...

 

Don't Forget to swap the old incandescent bulbs, with multi-tip White Leds,

 

Those Clusters looks beyond Awesome with them ... :D ... see:

Kind Regards.

I have some of these digital dashes (all amber I think) on the bench in unknown condition with some pigtals and diagrams,  I have been waiting for a slow winter to play with these. I am interested in any progress you might make in powering them up.

Jesek, do you have more detailed pictures of the small device circled in red??

That's the Speedo optical sensor/pickup thing I need to emulate. Where do those wires (or one wire) plug into on the dash? Or do they go into another harness? What about the red/white and yellow wires?
