bought an apexi rev speed meter of chris@getGReedy and was wondering if anyone else has one there exactly the same size as the boost controller and the air fuel controller.advice please!

 

1/a diagram for wiring in to ECU speed sensor,rpm,ign,ground wires so any colour diagrams for these associated wires would be much appreciated

 

2/where to mount the unit also as i want it so i can see clearly whilst driving!obviously where light from daytime wont effect viewing display

 

3/Iv got a stand to mount the unit on also!again where can i put it

 

any advice what so ever would be great,as i dont want to take it to an auto electritian

thanks alot greg :cool:

Hi mate. I've got one waiting to go in. I was thinking of having a bash myself but I dont really understand the booklet that came with it - and its DEFINATELY not worth melting your ECU if you go wrong! I think the average charge for fitting is £120 :eek: Good luck with it tho buddy.

mate if u can do basic wiring shoudent be hard as i tested it with a ground and a live last night and it looks a nice bit of kit,i just wanted a colour diagram so i can accuratly splice the correct wires :o and as you say so i dont melt the ECU :eek: Il let you know how i get on tommoz :) greg

ok it would be interesting to know how you get on. im having a tubby timer and an air/fuel controller put in as well so i may as well have it all put in at once by an expert. mind you after a few stellas i might have a go later... :eek: :slap: :)

dave i fitted it in 2hrs start to finish!easy

 

use diagram 2 in manual put unit where u want it fitted! i placed mine through vent at top of dash hides wiring behind.Remove harness from ecu read diagram 2 whilst following the pin diagram for wiring to the correct pins

 

yellow=rpm at ecu

red=ign live

black=ground

pink=speedw

purple=speedo o

im crap with electrics and wiring but chuffed i did it myself and saved a few bob! mesure twice cut once :) il post a link for diagram of ecu pins

 

good luck greg

dave theres a link in the help and advice posted by hansky under rpm wire there you will find the correct wiring diagram :)

hi mate. glad you got it installed ok! is it any good then? where have you sited it on the dash?

like i said in my other post, because im getting a lot of electronics installed (coffee machine... disco lights... rotating number-plate... :p ) which all (i think) hook up to the ecu, i think its best if i left it all to the pro's.

thanks for your advice tho - i nearly gave it a go!

just to show you were i fitted it to bud :D as you can see i wired it through the air vent down behind in to the ECU jobs a gooden
