hey guys

My cars coming back from the panel beater early next week and im trying to sort out this speedo problem.

Basically its showing double the speed but this only happened when i installed the turbo intrument cluster..

Does anyone know if theres a difference between the non-turbo and turbo speedo sender on the gearbox's..

or do you reckon its the speedo thats stuffed?

because i dont want to spend a couple of hundread to get the speedo corrected only to find i could have fixed it for $30..

Also would it be hard to wire up the PSI reading to the cluster?

cheers

don't bother wiring up the stock boost gauge in the cluster get an aftermarket one it will be more accurate

i know there are calibrating points on the back of speedo's its probably one of those needs to be soldered up or un-soldered

I changed my NA gearbox to a turbo gearbox and had no differences in the speedo readings. So if the gearbox puts out the same ratrio then I think the dash should be the same if its turbo or not.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
