frank_ster Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The tach should be able to be driven from the GM ECU without an issue, and the speedo can probably be driven straight from the ABS computer. Check the FSM for the wiring path for the speedo signal. uh the subie cluster is can communication. so can't realy just give it speedo and tach signals Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you could bypass the CAN and drive the needles directly. I'm SURE you can, it's just a matter of figuring out the scale. I bet they operate on a standard 0-5v linear system. A micro controller, like an Arduino, could pretty easily handle driving the needles from some digital input.

The sweep of the gauges would have to be the same. And the lights are integrated into the cluster guts. If you wanted to pull out the guts, just get mini stepper motors from any electronics store. They would only cost a few bucks, and you could drive them with an Arduino. All gauges from a single controller. You could even use the coolant temp gauge as a boost gauge at the flip of a switch. The stock gauges are stepper controlled, which is why I suggest just driving them with a controller.

BAC5.2 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 well the getting rid of awd is a bummer for me. might as well get a mustang or camaro Having owned a very high-power RWD Subaru, I can kind of agree. The rear suspension, at least on the McPherson rear strut cars, is not designed to handle RWD. The fenders, too, make it difficult to fit tires worth having (275's). Spend some time sorting out the rear suspension geometry and figuring out how to fit big tires, and you will have a really entertaining car on your hands.
