thenamesdaryl 1 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm building a MK1 caddy VR6, using original MK1 clocks and im wondering how to get the rev counter work? I've read some bits about resistors and diodes but it is for mk2 gear so wasn't sure it would be the same. I am using all of the mk3 ce2 wiring and have just spliced the dash looms together Link to post Share on other sites
ayathatguy 1 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm also looking to swap a R32 into my mk1 and would like to know how this will work please. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Take a look at this: http://s-pautomotive.com/?product=digital-to-analog-tach-adapter-module-with-cylinder-converter-combo Looks to cover VR6, but no mention of R32 I'm afraid so possibly worth speaking to them direct.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Product Description This is a “magic” box !! Its a dual purpose unit and has 2 modules in it, digital>analog + cylinder conversion. It’s used for many applications, putting a VR6/1.8t/TDI/2.0 into a mk1/2 and retaining your factory cluster. (However if you wanted to drop an ls1 into your mk1 and drive the stock tach, this will do it for you) This module will allow your factory cluster to read the correct rpm of the engine. It will save time on not having to do a dash swap or retrofitting the 6 cylinder cluster and allow you to maintain that stock sleeper look inside your mk1 or mk2. Link to post Share on other sites

thenamesdaryl 1 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have bought one of these units, very small and reasonably priced! haven't had a chance to install it yet but on the surface it looks the part. It has loads of options for cylinder conversions, ill let you know how well it works! VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Works perfectly easy to install too. i tested it against a obd 2 reader that had a digital rpm and it matches percetly to the tach Link to post Share on other sites
