my notes can be used as guidelines, but seeing as you have a slightly different cluster than me I would strongly advise that you trace out the the circuitry on both your clusters before going cutting and joining... also have you got the correct loom/plugs for your new one?

my cluster is identical to yours so the circuitry should be the same. its a genuine subaru with a number. i just got the speed sensor, i now need the loom for it. no i dont have the plugs im still looking :( all i can say is im so jealous youve done yours :(

still have a check as some pins do move as my loom didnt match my cluster... with the sensor does it just have a plug on the top or leads coming out of it? When I do the write up you will see I attached a repco 2 pin plug to the end of it and ran my own wires through the gromet in the firewall where the speedo cluster used to be.

good work is it an after market one?

also with my cluster if i un-plug my cigarette lighter my speedo doesn't go so my km don't click over and my dash lights do funny things just thought i'd chuck that in there found out when installing a head unit and we needed to go for a drive with the dash is pieces to get the right plug.

Write Up (Will be adding to this over the next few days):

Fitting V4 Gauges into your V1/2/3

Funnily enough this is a very simple process, just delicate and time consuming. My decision to do the swap was because I didnt like the fact that the Needles on the V1/2 Gauges dont light up, only the numbers do, which makes for some interesting night driving. The swap also gives the added bonus of a clock, which is something that is missing in the V1/2's.

Heres my Factory Gauges in my V1 WRX:

SDC10015.JPG

Heres the later model gauges I have fitted

SDC10004.JPG

SDC10005.JPG

Shopping List:

-Gauge cluster (get one suitable to your car ie. 7000rpm or 8000rpm redline/dccd/auto/sti etc, Im non STI with a 7000rpm redline/rev limiter and manual, so I chose the cluster pictured above)

When you source the cluster it is VERY important you get a V4 one... DO NOT GET A v5/6 one or youll be up shit creek as the V5/6 is very different on the electrical side of things, uses a PCB for starters and isnt overly easy to trace everything.

-Plugs with Loom to fit new cluster PART NUMBER 81312 FA010

-2 pin Electronic Speed Sensor with wires (or plug and a bit of the loom)

-1 meter length of single pair cable (ie cable with 2 cores aka speaker cable)

-33 Male bullet crimps (get some spares)

-33 Femail bullet crimps (get some spares)

-2 pin plug from repco

-a small sheet of MDF/Plastic/Fake carbon fiber

-3 different colours of insulation tape

Tools needed:

-a GOOD crimp tool

-a GOOD wire stripper

-a socket set

-a phillips screwdriver

-a hacksaw

-a holesaw set

-a drill (with drill bits)

-a bandsaw (not completely nessacary)

Lets start...

Take your loom plug the 3 plugs into the new cluster, you should have 2 plugs on the other end, cut these off as they are of no use to you. Now seperate the loom by taking all the tape off and you should end up with the 3 plugs/looms seperated from each other, while your doing this make sure that there is a wire in place for the pins on your cluster, if there are some missing move the ones that you wont be needing into the place you do need them. Now Wrap each loom in a different colour of insualtion tape, this will help make it easier to identify whats what when your working in the dash. Crimp the MALE bullets onto the end of every wire.

INSERT PIC HERE

The pin out of the new cluster should be as follows:

You will also notice a blue plug in the middle of your old cluster... Remove this module from the cluster and connect it to the plug and put it somewhere out of the way inside your dash. This module makes that stupid dinging when the doors open. But it also has some control over the interior light for the drivers door, so if its not inplace then your interior light will not come on

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
