shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong, but you can only buy these gauges if you have a FPV Vin no and they are a separate unit for wiring.

Not sure fella. I take it you mean the F6 gauges for the dash. Saw them on ebay for $425 which I thought was over the top + the actual gauges and wiring cost $$$ I'm sure someone can help you, pretty cluey lads on here....

The xr6t's and f6's use a "can bus" (whatever the hell that is) to drive the tacho and dash gauges as far a i know the oil pressure and boost guages on an F6 are a standard electrical gauge.

The tacho driver WILL NOT help you at all. It's designed to take the Can Bus tacho signal from the ECM and convert it to a 5volt square wave signal that a normal aftermarket tacho (ie autometer)can read.

hope this help.... :spoton:

If your just trying to hook up the FPV oil and boost pressure gauges there's some posts around here that will help.

Is that what your trying to do?

If so I'll see if I can dig them up. :spoton:

The Ford racing tacho driver is for running an after market taking on a BA OR BF these 2 models don't have a tacho signal to plug in for a after market tacho.

If you use this tacho driver from Ford racing you can connect any after market tacho up to your ba or bf.

Part No: Ford Racing Tach driver 17361-A200

Herrod Sell them for $175, or you can buy them direct form Brisbane Ford racing distributor for $122.

I also have a 2 page word document on instructions if anyone is interested.

There's an aussie made RPM module for our BA's available on eBay for $120.00 that has 2 pc/laptop user settable trigger points allowing a trigger for water spray or NOS and another trigger for a shift light etc.

I've had one for around 6 months now and they're great, well made by a name you would all know but I probably can't say it because of sponsor rules.

Just thought I'd get a plug in for the aussie unit!

Dunno why you would want an after market tacho... the stock one is surely big enough :upsidedown:
