I have been told that i can't fit the Electronic cav turbo speedo into my cav gsi and hook it up to th F28/turbo lump when that goes in my cav gsi aswell
Butreading the dials i have on my cavgsi now whih is hooked up to theF20.they say Electronic aswel on te bottom left part o the rev counter...wtf???
Can someone PLEASE..!!!explain what typE of cav turbo speedo dial i would need to go ino my Vauxhall Cavalier GSI K REG 1993 and run te turbo engine and f28 in my car aswel!
I hear there are two types of cav turbo speedo's and am now ****en confused!
It says electronic on the rev counter cos ALL the rev counters are electronic its the Speedo that changes from a mechanical cable driven effort (Pre 94) to an electronic pulse jobby (Post 94) to make matters easy for yourself see what type of F28 you have is it the one with an electronic sender to the dash or one with a mechanical sender for the cable to plug onto ?? then use the appropriate set of clocks to match
rght imgonna go chek the f28 in the cavnow ad look or a somewhat rsemblence to my f20 box in me cav gsi with that white plastic spedo sender unit stuck into the box
so if it hasnt got one of these in the f28 then how do i kno hat speedo toget and now ts the right one then?
whats all this about some cav turbo speedos have 8000 revs on the clock aswell? cause mine has 7000 revs on the cav turbo speedo.
ok..its a electronic pulse jobby but it's reg 1993 cav trbo so i dont get that unless your dates are out
so no i want a cable driven cav turbo speedo....bu still don know how sum difer with the revs being either 7000 or 8000 onthe clocks and what ones do u get em at them revs for?
Do they supply the toothed gear bit that attaches aswell Andy as I thought they would drill you a hole but that little bit is really hard to source without a g/box attached to it or is the F20 one the same ?
turbo clocks realy are a discussion point lately (me included). -
The gearing you need is dependant ON THE CLOCKS YOU USE
So if your gonna use the turbo (mechanical) clocks you need the blue speedo ring & associated cable end,
if you gonna use standard (140mph) clocks, or a digidash you need the black (F20) speedo ring and associted sender.
If you want to run mecahnical clocks on an F28 that has NO sppedo outlet (i.e. origional cars clocks were electric) then I suggest you call V-Tuning. I'm 99% sure they can supply the other bits you need too.
You take it off the Traction Control Output from the ABS ECU (Which unless you have a V6 or 94> Turbo you won't have)
Then you'd need an amplifier from one of the ABS Inputs.
There's a How To on Cavweb.
