Blacktop motor in AE82, speedo drive question?

[Maxwedge]

How do you get around not using a electric speedo drive on a blacktop 20v gearbox without it affecting the ECU programming
1- graft in a AE111 speedo?
2- Link ECU?

from what i understand theres some sort of adaoter from electric to mechanical but i havent crossed this bridge yet

You get the speed signal from the back of the cluster.

He wants a mech speedo but the sounds of it, but on a blacktop ecu you NEED to have speed sensor info going to the ecu

I never did when i had my blacktop running off the factory ecu in my ae82 fx

I just put a mechanical speedo drive into the gearbox, and it using the speedo cable and factory ae82 dash

It affects the blacktop ecu. ALOT.

Unless you mean that you get the speed signal for the blacktop ecu from the dash!.


Thats the answer, I forgot...

Mech speedo sender in gearbox, speed signal from back for mech dash to the blacktop ecu

yeah i figured it was a given that you have to take it from dash if you use mech speedo drive, but obviously not

so whats the deal with s/top? same principle or does the ecu not require it so much?

I had to do the same when I fitted the S/T to my AW. Picked up about 1000rpm once I'd done it.
