Hey had a greddy turbo timer put in, but due to circumstances, the throttle wire was not hooked up to the unit.

so far ive had no luck in finding a diagram of the throttle wire on the ecu. anyone done this before and know what wire to splice into?

my car is a 1989 r32 gtst rb20det

if this is the the purple wire off the tt to the 'speed sensor' wire yes its wire 53 yellow and green yes there are a few of them hmm i think its green with yellow stripe but not sure of the top of my head if you have a ecu layout you be able to find it piss easy.. is the the fully auto turbo timer the silver or black?? there good timers i have one in my 32 use the speed thingy all the time my speedo's out by 10k;s

cheers for replying :P

wire 53 excellent. yer i found a ecu pinout diagram http://www.rb20det.com/ecupinout.html

will trace from there and find a wire nice and close. will a simple splice in clip (the ones that just snap into the wires, no cutting necessary) work fine?

edit: oh yer, my greddy auto timer is the black one

sweet, just got around to hooking it up. wire 52 and 53 are really similar, green and yellow wires, just inverted. originally i had it hooked up to wire 52.

anyway took it for a test drive, pretty accurate, just out by 1kmh (faster by 1km on the TT), but ill prob readjust it.

cheers big ears :)

edit: oh yer, i still cant get the rpm thingy to be accurate, anyone know how to do it properly?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
