Hi all.

On a R33 GTS, RB25DET series 1, i need to find the the wire on the instrument cluster were the speed signal is in.

If i understand this correct, from the sensor it goes to the ECU and to the cluster.

My new vipec ECU can control the speedo, and I am trying to getting this to work but cant seem to locate the signal wire at the cluster.

33s run an electronic speedo and the signal goes straight to the cluster afaik, then a wire runs from there to the ecu to tell it when the cars moving. to adjust the speedo with the vipec it'd need to be wired in between the gbox and the cluster

Thank you for the reply.

you dont happen to know which wire at the cluster that is the signal wire? Were it comes in, and goes out again.

There is 4 wires total for the speedo, i can find + and -. So the last two is signal in and out?

thanks

You might want to look into the circuitry a bit further. I'm fairly certain that on my old GTI-R, the electronics in the dash altered the speed signal from the speed sensor before it is sent on to the ECU. I'm guessing here, but maybe the speed sensor gives out a sine wave and the electronics in the dash convert it to a 0-5V square wave for the ECU. Maybe you could modify the circuit to patch the Vipec in there somewhere.

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!

    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
