RX-7 Gauge Cluster Swap

[Mazda_Power]

I've heard some talk about a 2nd Gen RX-7 Gauge Cluster swap. I thought I had seen a thread about it recently, but I couldn't find anything. So from what I've read the speedocable screws in and the rest needs to be soldered. What about the actual mounting? What needs to be done to fit the cluster in the car.

not sure about the rx-7 swap. been thinkin about an old-skool 1st gen probe digital dash......

The RX7 cluster, the speedo cable fits, but it's off a crazy amount.

You would have to trim the dash and cluster to get it in the space.

What did fredstiva/B6T Use in his cluster. it looks pretty neet in his video.

[SimonTuffGuy]

323 GTX IIRC...

He had to cut and fit it into his dash.

Did he ever post any pics or a "how to" about it? I would like to try something like that. I wonder how hard it was to do?

where's freds video????

[SimonTuffGuy]

He had to cut the dash and cluster to make it fit and then re-wire it all...

i just won an fc3s turbo rx7 cluster off ebay! i will take some comparative pics and work on swapping it into the festy. ill do a nice little write-up and see if its even worth it! ill post pics once it comes!

[IdealSociety]

this is the cluster before i trimmed the tabs on the side off... it will fit into the opening on the festiva but the mounting points where the old cluster screwed into in the dash will need to be trimmed... right now im working with the diagrams between the festy and rx7 Turbo II cluster (i wanted the boost gauge for future applications with my bp :wink: ) and trying to make a final diagram on what goes where, when i am done i will post the schematics up and doing this should become a relatively easy swap i hope!

the only problem is i need to have the speedo recalibrated... the festy one runs at 1025rev=1 mile where as the rx7 one runs at 1025rev=1km

so its a bit off yeah, but nothing reclaibration cant fix :twisted:

ok great i lost my festy wiring diagrams... anyone know where to find just the few pages that list the pins on the cluster and what they go to?

[Gforcefd]

I have them

I have them and will try and scan them tonight, send me the RX7 ones for my clusters that have been waiting

NEVER MIND, he got them too me, anywyas, I have two clusters for the same swap, me and simon where working around the idea, well he was trying and I was tryin g:-) I am sticking with my 95 miata cluster for now, as long as I can figure out how to wire it up.

Still waiting on a source for the clusters wiring and speedo.

I couldn't find my scanner but I took a picture of all of them, and at full size you can read it fine, I don't know I would have to email you them, because of photobucket restrictions on size.
