The RH noble Tach modification

[RascalRuss]

Hey Guys and Gals,

As promised, you will find below a sneak preview of the video showing the RH Noble Dials Mod. I am waiting for Loren to help me with host, so please bare with the poor quality, its the best i could do for now.

As you will see, during low revs the lights are the standard white light, then as you begin to enter the power band the lights change to blue. These stay static blue up until you begin to get close to the rev limier, at which point, the blue lights flash.

It has a hidden switch that can be changed to select a variety of programmer with in the processor such as below

1 - off

2 - power band = static blue, rev lim = flashing blue

3 - power band = Flashing blue, rev lim = static blue

This can be regarded as purely aesthetic looking, or can help during tracking, etc.

I have also integrated another little feature that as soon as I start the engine, the rear spoiler extends and then retracts. Completely aesthetic, and just looks sexy as you start up in a petrol station.

Hope you like

Russ

P.S - I take no responsibility for any one that wants to try and attempt this at home. The instrument cluster is an extreamly delicate and precise piece of design, and unless precautions and care are not carried out, permanent damage may result. This is a very advanced mod

wow, that is cool!!

i remember you posted about this a while ago. nice to see that you actually DID IT!

are the dash lights on to begin with? they look very dim until the tach lights up brightly in blue.

ok, so how did you do it? ;)

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes the Tach lights were on, but my camera is rubbish and they did not seem to come through very well. I have another camera that I will take some better pics with.

Its does by a circuit I designed, that reads in the tach signal and turns on the LED mounted internally in the instrument cluster.

Love the mod.

It sounds a little complicated for me, but i would love to see it flash a deeper red near the red line.

I think its a great mod.
