Hi, I have created a skyline R32 Gts-t (born with rb20det) and put a

Rb25det in it.

I have installed Apexi power fc and it works super.

The only thing that does't work, my rpm in the original

dashboard.

It works fine in the hand controller.

What could be the problem.

Sincerely, René

Wiring problem only. Must be. I (and many others) have a 25 in a 32 and it just works. I don't know for sure, but maybe, just maybe, the tacho output on the ECU plug is on a different pin between the two. I wouldn't count on that, because you can use RB20 ECUs to run RB25s, so they should be the same. Anyway, check the wiring diagrams, then go fault finding the wiring itself.

Thank you.<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2311">The wires are from R32 GTS-T.<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2312">Does anyone know what color it should be to dash rpm?<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2313">I can measure the pin 7 of Apexi box if there is signal out?<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2314">and is the same place apexi hand controller gets the signal?

The power supply comes FROM the dash and ECU simply earths the supply. If you unplug the ECU and turn the ignition on you should see about 5V (from memory) at pin 7 loom side obviously. On the RB20 loom the tacho wire is red with yellow trace/stripe. Not sure if it changes colour though at the loom plug in the passenger footwell.

Cheers

When I put the old box (from rb20) on in works fine.

It is pin 7 on both box ??

There is 5-6v on the cabel, but nothing on the scope...

I think pin 7 is fired , can take the signal from where the hand controller gets it? Or from the engine and run it without the box?

Can you confirm which loom you are using, R33 or stagea?

wiring is from R32 gtst but adapted, Box is from apexi R33 rb25det. Sorry if I have misunderstood something, Goggel translation is not very good for Danish :-)

As you said, it sounds like the Apexi computer has a fault with pin 7. I am not sure of your modifications but if the engine is close to standard I would try a stock R33 ECU. If this is not an option you could try getting the Apexi ECU repaired.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
