   im going to do an engine conversion from my furio to a vtr, both engines are single plug but the vtr dials are anolog and the furio ones are digital, i would prefer to keep digital dials so could i just put in a set of digital vtr dials or wont they work?

   think you might need a different loom, have you checked the plugs on both looms?

   they can be single plug but have different plugs on the other end of the loom though, i think a single plug mk2 furio could have the singple plug loom with a bigger multiplug

    im not too sure if the analogue dials use like a mechanical cable to add miles, where the digital ones use a wired sensor. we need clarification on that lol, ive never worked on a saxo with the analogue dials

    ok mate. if i would have to change the wiring to fit the mk1 dials in theory i could get a mk2 vtr dials and just put them in then wouldn need to change the interior wiring

    yeah thats right, but im not sure that the engine loom wiring would give the right signal to the interior loom and clocks. you might need to use a 90bhp silvertop loom and change some sensors. i could be completely wrong lol

    The digital dials run on the mk2 vtr loom. If u get the loom of a newer VTR i could imagine it would work mate
