Doobs

Recommended Posts

Just installed the Ecliptech Shift-i sequential shift light.

Very easy install.

These are the wiring points i used on the back of the cluster.

Red= +12v Ignition

Black= Ground

Blue= Tacho signal

I used the wire clips that came with the light to splice into the

back of the cluster. The factory Tacho signal wire is Yellow with Blue tracer.

Green wire for 12v Ignition.

And the ground point as marked on the first image.

I tested it at this point by turning on ignition.

Then put dash back together.

Just used trusty old double sided tape to secure it.

Only needed to calibrate up one point and it's spot on.

Cheers

someone correct me if i'am wrong but the rpm signal coming from the ecu pin 7 (yellow with blue stripe) is only a 5-7v square wave and isnt enough to power my drift digital rpm gauge there is power feeding through it but when connected to pin 7 and once the car is started no rpm reading so i had to go out and purchase a bloody vdo signal amplifier so i can run my aftermarket digital tacho :thanks:

any enlightenment would be appreciated

I suggest emailing Tony (the maker of shift-i) and asking him.

The guys is one of the cleverest people I've ever come across.

He'll no doubt be able to answer your question.

ive bought this last year and am very happy with its performance. love how theres so many functions on just 2 buttons tho it was confusing at first and you'll lose your settings if you replace your battery. ive spliced my signal wire on my ecu's tacho signal wire
