1997-1998 Cluster Upgrade Kit
Coming soon: The speedometer tachometer, voltage gauge and fuel gauge are surprisingly accurate in the stock cluster. However, the temperature gauge can vary up to 5 to 10 degrees with variations in battery voltage. And the oil pressure gauge is driven by a 6PSI pressure switch that closes above 6 PSI. This makes the stock the pressure gauge a vitual idiot light.
Our 97-98 Cluster Upgrade Kit adds an electronic circuit in a small box under the dash that eliminates the effects of battery voltage variations on the temperature gauge. It also adds a different electronic circuit in a small box under the dash that, when used in conjunction with a replacement Autometer oil pressure sender (model number 2242), provides and accurate, battery voltage independent oil pressure reading on the stock gauge.
When used with a properly marked aftermarket gauge face set, you can have accurate knowledge of the conditions inside your vehicle's engine. Accutach is working with several replacement gauge face vendors to develop gauge faces marked with voltage, temperature and pressure graduations on the gauges, although the upgrade kit will provide accurate meter movements on the stock gauge face with their "Normal" range markings. Here is an example of a calibrated gauge face from
www.customgaugefaces.com:
The upgrade kit requires key-on power and a good chassis ground connection for each of the two boxes. It intercepts the sender signal wiring at the sender. Should you ever decide to remove the upgrade kit, the car can be easily put back to stock.
In order to properly set expectations, there is a chance that the circuit under delvelopment will not be able to drive the stock oil pressure guage on the 97-98 clusters. Please stay tuned as we finsih the development of this circuit.
