BMW E30 with SR20

[iamseong]

Dear Sifus Sifus,

I have an E30 with SR20 engine in it. I have a wee bit of problem with my meters.

The original BMW meters do not read the water temp and the odometer don't run. Apparently its due to the engine and the BMW ECU running on different voltage.

Anyone can assist or direct me to a workshop to fix this??!!

your asistance is much appreciated.

BTW, mod, is this ECU topic???!! if you think i am at the wrong section please move it. Thanks
