RT/RSI/16v dials the same

[coolspot007007]

Are the same dials used in all of the above cars or are the markers different, mph, revs etc. And is it ph2 cars that have white needles?

ph1 - orange
ph2 - white

As far as i know the rev counter in an RT goes to 7k and in the valver its 8k

cant comment on any of the other markings. Would imagine the speedo top end would be different.

RT/RSi dont have middle guages so they have Oil Level on the main cluster.. next to the Coolant Temp. Petrol is at the top where the external temp display is on the Valver.

RSi Phase3 might be like the 16v as they had middle guages.

RT wont have as high speedo or rev range either.. I dont think.. and I guess the "Red Line" on the rev counter will be earlier on them both too compared to the 16v.

On a similar topic....

Would I be able to fit a set of dials from a Mk1 RT (with rev/temp) into my RL with neither?

Is the leccy wiring the same?

How would I go about fitting a rev sensor to my engine, is it possible?

thanks,

As long as your RL isnt a Phase3, then yea.. you can.. straight swap apparently.

Mk1, Phase3 1.2s have a different ignition so they dont work.. but can be converted too.

Your profile says Mk1, Phase1, so it should be a straight swap. Not sure if Oil Level will work, but rev counter should.

Valvers have a central set of guages that display oil level, oil temp and oil pressure.

Directly in front of the driver is speedo to the left, rev counter to the right.
Middle bottom right is water temp and left is petrol guage.

top centre is a digital temp reading

He has a 16v so probably has 16v dials!

RT/RSi (Phase1/2) have..

Speed Left, Rev Counter Right.

Middle Bottom right is Coolant Temp, Middle Bottom left is Oil Level. Middle Top is Petrol.

oh yeah lol

I was just wondering as Id have an easier time finding a spare set of dials to mod, if they were shared across the range there should be more about. Ah well looks like i need ph2 valver dials then.
