Bossman429 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 What's the box on the left? DIC module? If so, where is it located on the original car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 looks like a 12 volt power supply from radioshack to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 looks like a 12 volt power supply from radioshack to me. that is exactly what it is. There are not many wires: I was hoping to find where I wrote this down but couldn't so I finally got it for you. The pins of the DIC you'll need to hook up: A1(ORG),A2(PINK/BLK),A6(DK.GRN),A7(ORG),A8(BLK),B3(GREY),B6(PPL)B8(BLK) A1-constant 12v - sourced fron cig. light circuit which only lights seat controls. A2-ign. 12v - pink wire for steering column(there are better places though, put mine there cause it was easy but I will be moving it) A6-speed input - guage cluster DK GRN pin D5 or D13 for base cluster. A7-data input - orange wire from the ALDL diagnostic connector A8- ground - cig light circuit B3-dimmer - cig light circuit B6- fuel level ind. - guage cluster PPL pin C5 or C13 for base cluster. There are other wires mainly the panel light, and other dimmer line that you would think are necessary but aren't hooked up. No one has been able to tell me what they are for so I'm not sure where to hook them up but it seems to work fine without. Everything works, I think I'm sure that some things can be sourced from better spots but I haven't had any problems yet. Still I offer no guarantee nor do I take any responsability if you listen to me, Enjoy, I actually have a vacation day planned for tomorrow so I will have time to play with it in the car.

Crazy K Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 pics when done!!! btw what info does it tell you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 GP DIC's are pretty easy to wire up. When wired without the rest of the data link, the VFD DIC's will tell you: Fuel range Compass Service Reminders Fuel economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 thats the type my car has. I like the VFD buttons, but the color LCD version's screen was very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Here are some pictures of the what it looks like installed. I plan on spraying the housing maroon onces the temp gets warmer (high today of 23F). I am also going to try and tint the screen with the same tint as my ub3 and see if I can get the display to be more blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I would change out the wood grain to euro black woodgrain, paint the column black, (like euros) and get a Euro black steering wheel. Unless you really like the red. But other than that, SWEEEET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thanks all! Yeah it only took about 45 minutes to put in. I thought about changing the wood grain but I kinda grew on me. I gotta find a scanner to scan some of my old pictures of the car when I first got it...when it still had white walls.

Crazy K Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Umm.. how about changing the digi-thingy to mave matching woodgrain? just a thought. I can't blame you, I have woodgrain in mine, but I do have the black euro column and wheel installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 See, I got bored with my woodgrain trim stuff, so I switched over to the Euro interior pieces. Will I ever switch back? maybe. I still like how it all looks together though in your ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 cool but quick question, does the VFD DIC plug right in and work fine with the older 88-90 LCD ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 sweet, next mod, mines wont stop the Ck Fuel bull shit, but anyway, thats a cool thing to rig up, once again, another thing the luminas didnt get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 sweet, next mod, mines wont stop the Ck Fuel bull shit, but anyway, thats a cool thing to rig up, once again, another thing the luminas didnt get Mine does that also (VFD) but i'm blaming that on incompatiability with the digital gauge cluster, for some reason which will be theorized about for centuries to come.

Hairdo12 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I put three gallons in my tank and the range jumped up to 74 miles. I'm gonna cut the power to the memory on the thing and let the tank run to near empty and fill it up and see if I can get a number more in line of what is expected. When I was bench testing this thing I set the fuel to both +12 and ground like when I was testing the ub3. IIRC it was setting the fuel line to ground on the ub3 that made the gage go to empty... the check fuel didnt change on the dic when I did this to it. This leads me to believe the DIC could possibly "learn" the resistance of the line instead of having values hard coded. However I could be wrong. I'm gonna go back and grab all the sensors I can with as much wire as I can get... I hear this is very hard work to put together but eh its a long winter.

1990lumina Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Those fuel range calculators are awesome when they function correctly. The one in my uncle's Silverado is accurate within a few kilometers. This summer he coasted into town on fumes and it said "range: low" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joseph Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 How did you get that wired up so fast? Luminas certainly never came prewired for a DIC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
