20v and ae85 rev cut?

[Meadzy]

ecu stayed in limp mode or whatever you want to call it, so no vvt etc

maybe its because this is whats happening to my car? had no traction till just into 3rd open diff ftw!

[Meadzy]

Anyone know which pin to connect it to?

Top of plug on ecu

The pin with the ^ on your 12 pin plug, looking at the ECU it's purple with a white trace, but you prolly don't have a wire there any way.

thanks bud, saw that one just not so clued up about wiring

[Zak]

It's a bit confusing untill you get the hang of it, you just need to make sure you get the right one and not pin number 8, it'll be your warning light if you have it connected.

just found this thread while searching for why my silvertop seems to limit a bit lower than i thought it would in my ae92... I need a couple of things clarified if someone could...

So the ecu needs a speed signal fed to it into L11 on the 12pin ecu plug?

My ae92 just uses the mech speedo cable, is there an electric speedo source off the back of the speedo like that ae85 one pictured on the first page?

If so, am i able to make the ae92 speedo run from an ae101 sender in the gearbox and get rid of the speedo cable?

Cheers lads

bump - anyone end up workin this out?

[Zak]

The ae92 is the same as the ae85, has to use mechanical cable, the cluster then outputs a signal to the ecu.

I don't know what plug or wire on the cluster sends the signal though sorry.

But if you get me some more details about the car I can check the wireing diagrams at work for you.

i did feel a difference when i did what zac said. rev limit did stay the same after constant testing , thought it mite be inaccurate tacho but i never really found out for sure

[gmacrae]

Cheers Zak and Meadzy - its cool, ill work out that speedo signal and get it back to the ecu.

Meadzy, you noticed it go better once you gave the ecu that speedo signal? But limit stayed the same? Yours is silvertop? Im kinda hoping it will give it some more balls, barely goes better than my bigport at the mo but uses fair bit more gas

[johntramp]

It made a huge difference on my 'blacktop' 20v.

[Meadzy]

something definatly improved ae, doubt it was yet running 100% but it sure did something,by the looks of things the rev limit stayed the same but again i would never fully trust a ae85 standard tacho

yes it was silvertop
