Anyone know the vaule resistor that the stock gtst cluster uses to convert the speedo signal going to the ecu? Ive binned the cluster and just want to keep running the speedo signal direct to the ecu and get the reading off the power fc but now it is reading to high as there is a resistor used in the cluster to correct.

Can you play with the speedo signal with your ECU?

Ill see if I can find anything in the wiring diagram but dont recall any in the cluster

Dont think theres anytging ecu side muck around with it. On the wiring diagram shows ecu output to a resistor then to speed sensor now since originally the ecu gets the signal from cluster im assuming the resistor for correctiin would be there.

Might have to much around with a potentimeter see if i cand find the value.

I can't find a resistor in my wiring diagram. Can I ask which diagram you are using?

I wasnt sure if you had a standard ECU or not. The Link ECU's allow you to modify the speed sensor input frequency to road speed, so if your speed is a little out on the ECU, you can adjust it to give true road speed

I got power fc. This is the diagram ive seen it on, which one are you using?

Ignore the resistor. It's just showing the sensor itself and how it is drawn. Bit decieving in that diagram, the one I have shows the speed sensor (as pictured, then wiring which goes through a plug on the way to the cluster

The cluster must alter the signal somehow because its reading 4times the speed wired directly to sensor now or either the ecu just takes the reading off the the std speedo gauge itself.

Have mucked around with resistors today added 1k but did not change anything.

Odd the diagram shows nothing in the line between the sensor and the cluster. There is a VSS module inside the cluster that might alter the signal out

If you dont want the cluster, maybe you could pull it apart and have a look whats inside, then either add the same thing to the circuit or pull the VSS module out of the cluster and run it inline.

I wouldnt think it would be a resistor it needs in the circuit because as far as I know the ECU wants to see frequency, so pulses/second etc

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • 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.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
