Hi,

If some one have/had gauge like this can tell me how to connect it properly?

I have 2 connectors, 1 is for gauge and I connect all wires, 1 is for sensor and from sensor connector i have 3 free wire:  gray, green, and brown.

The problem is my Warning don't work, I set it from behind at 2.0 bar but when i test and pump over 2 bar the red LED doesn't blink :( And when i connect brown wire to black wire from gauge it blink all time.

So my question is how to connect it properly ?

Got photo of the receiver/sender unit?

I had the same problem with my old Tomei gauge but i worked it out.

Basically .....

The gauge itself has Black/Earth, Red/Power, Orange/Accessory, Yellow/Gauge light

Then 3 extra wires from gauge to Sender/Receiver unit, these are just Earth, Constant and Accessory.

My only problem was the Accessory and Gauge light wire's color so faded i couldn't tell which is which so i wired them both together.

As for warning lights .... i'm yet to know how to set them. The Tomei has 2 buttons at the back and one at the front of the gauge. Mine flash RED at 5psi and then at 15psi. Obvious there are 2 pre-warning and a recall.

Damn :( I have only gauge and sensor.

So without unit i can't use warning? shit :(

No ....

Maybe HKS built it differently so gauge and sensor is all you needed. You mentioned you tested it at 20psi so you must have connected the boost vacuum line and all is working right?

I'm sure you can use warning, just have to try to figure it out.

Yea, i have connected boost vacuum line and it show me boost and underpressure but warning don't work. It should turn red led when i exceed the target pressure which is set to 20 psi but red led is turned on all time :P 

So no one on that forum never have that HKS boost gauge and can't tell me some hint? :D

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.

      Spray painting interior plastics

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
