speedometer sender

[wrenchnride247]

Does your speedo use a electronic conversion module from the stock bug speedo cable? I was going that route, but I have something WAY OVER THE TOP now! (will show in a few months)

Hi sorry for the delayed response,I have no module , at he moment I just have the electronic auto meter speedo ,I am planning on using the auto meter sender with that fitted to the front 944 spindle. I am assuming they make a cable to connect the two together .

Hi Humble ,just looked at your post again re, the abs sender that sounds like a plan. Sorry for that I have just read that again today, I think I miss read that the other day,thanks for your help guys.

You might consider this Electric Speed Ring .
I got the one I am using from Desert Craft but the web site is down.
Pacific customs has them. Part # AC957810

Interesting this one. Whether to take the signal from the front (undriven) wheel or to take it from the CV. On balance I would have thought it better to use the undriven wheel since it can only go at road speed unless it is airborne. The driven wheel has the potential that it can spin or actually be stationary with no drive with an open diff. The abs ring on the front wheel seems the best of the options. The undriven wheel is the typical location for the sensor for the Halda style trip computers used in most rally cars (4 wheel drive excepted) so it seems to be the logical location.

i built my speed sensor on my left outter CV joint
front wheel driven would be fine for speedo only but presently mine is for the engine management but i have a digital speedo in the works so will be for both eventually

the main reason i built it on the CV joint aside from ease of install is some subaru ECUs go into limp mode on dynos if the engine is at full throttle but the speed sensor isnt turning
