CAN Convertor RPM - Effortless RPM Signal Conversion for Engine Swaps

The CAN Converter RPM is the ultimate solution for seamlessly integrating modern engine swaps into classic vehicles. Designed with versatility and performance in mind, this innovative converter transforms CAN bus RPM signals into a traditional analog signal, making it easy to display engine RPM on older gauge clusters. Whether you’re working on a Volkswagen Golf Mk1, Mk2, Golf Mk3, Corrado, or other VAG classics, this product ensures your factory tachometer remains functional with modern CAN-equipped engines.

This device also converts CAN bus speed signals from ABS or DSG into a usable 12V VSS output, ensuring compatibility with classic analog speedometers. Specifically engineered for VAG vehicles, it supports seamless integration with engine swaps, even in complex setups, making modern ECU compatibility effortless.

Extensive CAN Bus Protocol Support

The CAN Converter RPM supports a wide range of CAN bus protocols, ensuring seamless compatibility with various ECU platforms. Whether using factory VAG ECUs or standalone engine management systems, this converter is designed to integrate effortlessly.

Supported CAN Protocols:

• VW PQ Platform – Supports older VAG ECUs (1998-2014) from Golf Mk4, Mk5, and related models.
• VW MQB Platform – Compatible with modern VAG ECUs (2014-present) found in Golf Mk7, Mk8, and other new-generation vehicles.
• VW MLB Platform – Designed for longitudinally mounted engines used in Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen MLB-based models.
• Standalone ECUs – Works with popular aftermarket ECUs like MaxxECU, Megasquirt, Haltech, and more.
• EV CAN Protocols
  • Cascadia EVCU – eCascadia Electric Vehicle Control Unit
  • TAU EV – TAU Electric Vehicle Control Unit

Aditional CANBUS Functions

• CAN ABS & DSG Integration – Reads speed signals from modern ABS units and DSG transmissions for accurate VSS speed output.
• Custom CAN Simulation – Emulates missing CAN modules to prevent ECU DTC error codes in engine swaps.

This extensive protocol support ensures that regardless of your engine swap setup, the CAN Converter RPM provides the necessary signals for a fully functional tachometer and speedometer.
