Im putting it up on this forum as well since i cant find the wire im looking for and got a tip that i should try this forum as well.

Im looking for the wire on the backside of the dash that is the signal in.

I plugged the sensor to the Vipec V88 digital input1.
I want to use aux output 4 as the output signal to the speedo gauge. but i dont know where to plug it in

hopes you can help out.

Fd or FC?

The stock Fd has a magnetic sensor from the trans to the speedometer. The speedometer converts the signal to a square wave and then sends it too the factory ECU. I don't believe you can send an analog signal out of an aftermarket ECU. What are you trying to accomplish?

Better to save the output for something else on the ECU and only run the Input to the ECU (for use with some of the features on the ViPec ie boost by gear).

i have the V88 so i have more than enough output ports You can have gear input? which cables are that?

I want to be able to do the full sweep and also to save some wires. also i want to be able to have launch control when I'm under 5km/h. and to be able to do some other stuff like that

then where should i plug in the gearbox sensor on the speedo? I dont have any stock cables left in the car :/

Not sure what to reccomend if you've removed the stock wiring. The speedo is a 3 wire config.Two wires go from the the stock speedo to the VSS and then a single wire output from the speedo to the ECU / Cruise control.

What are you gonna use for a dash display, Factory gauges or something aftermarket? If the factory instrument cluster will be used you will need to run the magnetic speed sensor from the transmission to the cluster. You will then be able to use the digital output from the cluster to the Vipec. If no factory cluster you will run the trans speed sensor directly to the vipec. Most standalones have a way of calibrating gear position based on engine speed and Wheel speed. there is no way to have a gear position sensor on the factory transmission.

I want to use the stock cluster since i want the car to look stock do you know what colors it is on the wires from the transmission to the back of the cluster? and which wire goes from the cluster to the ECU? dont have the color scheme so i dont realy know where to start.

I am also having some trouble with the headlights having their own life and gonna start fixing that soon as well

For US spec cars, Pinnout for the cluster is:

3A Yellow/White VSS
3C Yellow/Red VSS
3E Green/Red Speed out to ECU, Goes to pin 1M in ECU

ok ill pull the cluster tomorrow and check. is they all marked in the cluster? since i noticed like 2-3 green/red wires coming out of the cluster. is the wires the same color on the gearbox harness just to make sure so when im standing beside the car tomorrow i can fix it right away

robzter

btw hope its the same for EU-spec cars. i have a JDM harness for the tranny and a EU spec dash RHD to LHD conversion is done

On the engine harness side of the VSS connector the wire colors will be Green and Orange. If you have an engine harness to compare to:

Green is Yellow/Red 3C
Orange is Yellow/ White 3A

sorry dont have an engine harness at all except for the 50cm of wire that is attached to the tranny. no connectors in the other end. Ill have a look tomorrow. everything else works on the car except for the headlights. so i want to finish all before i put it away for the winter.

dont want to seem stupid but what is VSS? vehicle Speed Sensor?
