**************UPDATE************

I am running P8 ECU with a boreham board and a pectel loom

I picked up a set of 1992 RS2000 clocks from Lennie (H20LRW) last night for the princely sum of a tenner,....


Today I removed my clock set from my car and simply plugged my loom onto the RS2000 clocks to test it all.


Well I have to say on the face of it they appeared to be ok!!

I can still manage to get the needle to go UP (strange as it was down on the old clocks ) IF I have ALL electrics on and hold the window button on.. Hopefully this wont prove to be too much of a problem

BUT apart from that seemed ok...

Oh I should point out with the Rev signal coming via the pectel loom (which has a specific wire to connect the rev signal wire to) I had no luck, the revs were reading double

So I ran a wire from pin 1 on one of the IGN Amps up to the green wire behind the clocks and that sorted it (was easy for me though as my IGN amps are by the ECU)

I then used my SECS monitor (which reads half) to work out where the RS2000 needle sat at certain RPM stages..

I then stripped both clocks (as above) and swopped it all over, went back out to the car, plugged the clocks back in and set the needle up using my predetermined points

I have yet to road test the car, as I used to have the problem where the rev counter would drop under load, but HOPEFULLY fingers crossed will be ok!! Plus once I get a pectel monitor plugged on this will help determine how accurate it all is

Cheers to Kev for being the mule

BTW the rev counter boards are defo different, if an electronics whizz compared them I'm sure the ECos counter could be modded easily enough to save buggering about with stripping them and swopping needles etc

(see pics)

You can just about see the part numbers at the top of the faces (these are identical so shouldnt be used as a guide)



RS2000 Rev counter my handwriting confirms what is printed on the sticker use this as a guide



Electrics of both counters
