Yep, $320 for PCM and a whooping $500 for a brand new ECU from melbourne plus more mony(forgot how much) to get it programed

Lol just give up on the idea of a BA cluster in an EB. Its almost impossible to do without the correct looms and ecu etc.
If you really want a BA cluster and a BA Key fob for f**k sake just by BA XR. Then it will all work! They are going for less than 15k now. Would cost bugger all to pay off. :wink:

The FPV cluster in my EB only works because i have a BF engine & pcm. You cannot use one on a standard EB because there is no bus com, A conversion like mine costs thousands of dollars and a lot of mucking around. So unless your prepaired for that don't bother. Cheers Owen.

what you can do is, fit an ef cluster into your eb or better still a complete dash conversion..

EF/EL dash / centre console conversions look rather good in EB's.

Better idea that is, at least you know its been done many times before, and there is much info on how to do it on this site.

Here is how I'd do it...

Take a BA cluster.... open it and throw the guts away. Keep the facia and Scan it on your PC..

Disassemble your E series cluster and install the gauges into the BA cluster, get it as close to the BA arrangement as possible. Scan your E series gauge facia as well with the same settings as you did with the BA one.

Make the two facia scans layers in the same image and use them to match the scale of the guages from the EL to the BA... The end result will hopefully look like the BA cluster but have the scale of the EL cluster.

print the newly created facia image to some thin white plastic on a decent colour printer and cut it out to match your new cluster setup.. re-assemble and wire it up.... good to go.

Not easy... but doable....
I may tackle this one myself one day if I don't end up going the whole DOHC conversion.
