[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 757153, member: 5925"] Thanks again for the kind words. At this point I'd need 48h days but I'd love to look into a Holley can converter. There is a real market for this stuff. My first engineering internship was spent at Renault (french automotive manufacturer) in the engine testing department. I used to compare our prototype engines to the competition. Since they didn't share their data with us (duhhh...) I had to sniff the CAN network and reverse engineer their protocol to understand the data flows. But we had expensive ass tools that I don't have access to anymore. Some people have replicated succesfully this with an Arduino and there is a market for these converters. The problem is that you have only 2 style of products on the market either a nice integrated solution that is very expensive (and rightfully so, they are banking on the time spent in R&D) or super cheap but completely DYI (plenty of info on Arduino forums). For your LJ, I'm assuming you're going to use a GM engine. The best system that I know of to do what you want is from RPMExtreme. They have a very nice GM to Chrysler CAN converter that also supports 6L80/90 applications. but it costs a pretty penny. Or you could put an autometer dash plate with standard gauges which IMO, looks great. Or Intellitronix makes a digital cluster that would take an OBD input from the GM ECU. [/QUOTE]
