i broke my damn speedo gear trying to pull off a bearing on my old limited slip. so i installed my obx limited slip speedo gear free because i was in a crunch time (arent we always). im re building the transmission in the winter so its no big deal ill just install the new on then.

but i still want a mph reader besides memorizing my rpm - mph crap.

my question is:

does the hks type 1 turbo timer run off your speedo gear for mph or do you program it to your rpm / wheel height etc....

thanks for the help hcf crew

bump, any help on this one guys?

 

I wish I could help you on this one but Ive never run a turbo timer in a year and half of being boosted so I really dont know anything about them. I would just go ghetto style and memorize the rpm-mph equation since your going to rebuild your tranny in a few months anyway.

 

EVERYTHING, reads off the speedo gear.

 

the tachometer does not read off the speedo does it????? oh ****ty mc ****ston...

looks like ill be rebuilding my transmission before i get my tax returns after all!

why oh why is it so far in my tranny and under a stupid $35 pressed bearing! why!


so, no speedo gear = no rpm? just making sure

 

Ive heard of other peoplehavin problems with the hks one. I went and got the buddy club one for 80$ from the chinese guy at honda ::thumbup:: Hope you figure your problem out

 

Yeah that really sucks man. Gay that everything runs off the spedo gear. I just learned something new

 

wish i could help. I have been boosting for 3 years, no turbo timer, but i wish you luck

 

Guess I should specify but what I mean as everything.

Anything and everything that reads speed of vehicle uses the speedo gear. RPM can be read a few hundred different ways, but most cars use the crank sensor. RPM isn't the same thing as speed. You will have RPM, just no MPH.
