need some help!
 
alright!

im trying to install a HKS type 1 turbo timer, and i have been searching for a couple of hours trying to find pictures, wireing diagrams, anything to help me get this installed, and havent found much in the way of good help!

any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

oh and i know some people dont believe in them.......i dont care, i like them and wanted one for the hell of it! :D

WonTon 11-03-2009 02:33 AM

okay!!! after spending even more time on the computer i have found some of the info i needed!

i have been at this for a few hours now! and the install should only take like 20 min!

now all i need to know is rpm signal wire location color(s), besides the b/w wire at the ecu.

and the speed signal wire location and color(s) < for the last hour i have been trying to find this one! im really aggravated :vash: can anybody ease this a lil for me please?

Assuming that you are installing it on an NB you can either grab it from the transducer on the gear box or from behind the guage cluster. If its an NA then you might have issues. Some NAs like those with cruise control have a magnetic reed switch attatched to the back of the speedo and you can grab the vss signal from a screw on the guage, no reed switch then no VSS.

NA, looking into that now! thanks




anybody with RPM??? pawease!
im thinking its the black /w white strip wire on the back of the cluster on the tach side....is this correct?

All of the traces on the guage cluster are labeled, when you have a look for the VSS reed switch the RPM trace will jump out at you. You can probably put a ring terminal on to the screw on the guage cluster which will save you splicing the wiring harness.

b/w wire on the back of the cluster is simply split from coil->ecu

Don't see why you don't use the wire at the ECU. It's much easier to get to IMO

haha i pulled the guage cluster out of the car and im looking at it now!

my car has factory cruise control, and looking i dont see anything that says VSS, reed, or RPM. but i do see something that says 180km/hSW < would this be it?

thank you so much for this lead! these links are getting saved now!

Duckie_uk 11-03-2009 03:06 AM

cannot remember off the top of my head what it was labeled as. The 180km is the hardware speed limiter for the japanese car. Post up a picture if you can and I'll try and outline it for you.

i just want to keep every thing for it under the dash. plus for some reason my ecu wire are short, so my MS is mounted a lil low witch makes it a PITA to unmount, pull the wires, and remount!

WonTon 11-03-2009 03:42 AM

the only thing i had to take pics with is my phone, best i could do man!

so RSW is the speed signal?

Yes RSW on the back of the instrument cluster is the speed signal.

After searching through some wiring diagrams I see I was wrong stating it is Blk/Wht(tach signal). The lead(RSW) off the board is 2F which connects to Grn/Red, which strangely enough Grn/Red can be accessed on the back of the radio unit.
