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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
