Questions For Advanced Rb20, Electrics = Fail

[s13rb20pplater]

ok so here it goes:

*cars a s13 with a rb20 in it, all wiring is fine to the ecu and such, there were problems but all fixed!

*so i currently have no speedo or reverse lights, i did have the rpm but i tried to install a tacho in, by using the yellow wire with red stripe, still tacho did not work, and when i reconnected the wires together the way i found them, the rpm meter wont move now???? FFS argh

car currently has the ca18de electric instrument cluster, will i need to get a r32 one + the cable wires so it all works? will the cluster bolt straight in?

any help would be absolutely helpful as the other forums i posted the same question in, did not help 1 bit

thanks all!!!

If youre running rb20 ecu ca18 cluster will not work. You need rb20 cluster. Mate has R31 skyline with dodgy cluster we tried pintara cluster which look almost completely identical, plug in and readings are out of wack.

Good luck.

mate for starters the original tacho will never work with the rb20 computer as the signal is different. secondly i'm pretty sure the s13 came out with a transducer type speedo where the r32 comes out with a cable driven speedo. the reverse lights don't work because they're not hooked up or fuse could be blown.

i am about to aquire a silvia with the same problem has rb20det in the s13 which is runnning a ca18 dash, the speedo works apparently but that is it...i was going to try find a rb20pin out diagram for the ecu and try match it to the wires off the back of the ca18 cluster..this won't work? if not like the original post said..will an r32 dash bolt in? cheers, Hame.

I has rb20 in s13 with ca18 cluster.. u need to use the ca18 sender from the gearbox and slap that on the rb20 gearbox.. but im still running into afew problems myself. over all rb20 >.> into s13 is a shit idea better off getting a rb25 works out alot cheaper
