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

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
