Is this possible? I've had a search and it can be done on 2001 Elantra XD GLS (american one), does this have the same ECU as a coupe?

I think someone did this on a 1.6 Gen 3 (Paul896???) - Is it an easyish job (I know a custom wiring harness would need to be made)

Would've thought this will be a headache on a gen1, fella. The 1.6 '3 will most likely have the same loom as the 2.0 with the vacant plugs etc, though I doubt it.

IMO, the gauges are a waste of time anyways - you can tell what the torque is from the seat of your pants and a set of autogauges to cover voltage and oil pressure (or whatever it is) would be much easier to fit...

Just my 2cents, of course

paul 896 tried and gave up mostly i think because of the wiring.you can get the wiring from diode dynamics if your willing to gamble your cash..................

entirely depends what you are wanting to monitor.

Ive got a boost gauge, oil temp gauge, oil pressure gauge and a air to fuel ratio gauge.

easy enough to wire in to be honest.

Oil pressure - get an oil pressure sensor installed and run the line straight from that to the gauge
oil temp sensor - replace the sump plug with a new adaptor and sensor (available on t-bay for afew quid)
voltage - too easy to even say
water temp - similar to oil temp just in a water line instead.
torque - not a clue on that one unless you can tap a pin from the ECU
a/f ratio - need a wideband lambda sensor and just run a wire from that


Gauges are available cheap enough indiviudally and you can get a pod holder yourself to install somewhere or you could try and retrofit a gen3 multigauge if you like, i went for the first option

Just looking at the standard Gen 3 one, volts, torque and mpg, the elantra ECU has outputs for torque and mpg and i didn't think the volts would be too hard - but don't know how similar the ecu's are

Didn't really want to go aftermarket - thought that the gen 3 one would sit under the radio and look like standard equipment

I've done a little bit of wiring in the coupe, but don't know if i could damage the ECU if i picked the wrong wire

"Ask Sharky" Springs to mind on this one. The gen 1 doesnt have a MPG read out display anywhere so not sure if the ECU is intelligent enough.

I remember seeing a guide for this yesterday, showing exactly where to attach each wire on the motor then on the unit. Ill dig it out of my browser history

Bingo

EDIT: While we are on the subject can anyone mind what the lamp size is for these gauges? I rememeber a thread coming up about it but cannot find it now. I think they are 501 lamps

So thats a NO then

Reckon so

I *believe* that they're R286 bulbs as seen

I think thedupleman has changed his, he'll be along soon to let you know the size (or tell you I'm getting old and forgetful)

Haha! I was right (after finding my own research). Equilar, you commented on the post. You said you were going to buy some...

Thanks Sharky - I'll make sure I ask next time

sorry just saw this thread. as Daz said tried but gave up. Having said that i still wont sell them on......hahaha just in case!

Thats perfect Joff! It was back in Oct, I can bearly remember yesterday
