Standard Dash to Stack?
Discussion
Guys,
Well my engine rebuild is drawing to a conclusion, with the new Accel injection on lump and more expensive bits than I'd planned we're up to a real 700HP and should be very drivable as well as using less than the 8-10 mpg it used to manage!
So I think it's also time to change the dash to a stack, I already had to have a SPA rev counter to keep up with the high reving engine, but as everything is in bits, might as well set to the dash as well.
So who has done the swap and what advice can you offer on making it all fit as neatly as lots of your cars?
Cheers

Built mine from new with the Stack.
Used the factory pod but formed a bigger lip to the top to stop the dash backlight from reflecting onto the screen at night.
Not much else to offer really. You will have to find the required connections and possibly run in some new ones if you want things like fuel pressure or air temp.
Fuel gauge is easy to calibrate. I think I set mine every 2 litres but it was a while ago. Because you can set it this way it compensates for the changing shape of the tank.

Speedy, If you go down the Stack path and are need of the Stack Ultima factory Pod, I have one I would be will sell. I am going in a different direction and will not need it.

Can someone send me the website for the Stack electronic gauge pod? I have one, but have never calibrated it. It's about time. . .
