sr swap problem

[weei2]

hi,
i just installed my redtop sr (from a clip) in my 89 coupe, but i met some problems....
i was wondering if u guys can help me out with this one...
in the gauge cluster, the rpm and the temperature dont work properly...
so, it just kind of **** me off to not to find the answer to these....
if any one knows what is wrong, or have experienced it, please help a brother out...

thanks, peace:confused:

if ur temp isnt working then u either didnt hook it up right or u got a loose connection- thats what happend to my firend lose connection.
As for tach not working did u put in the doch tach? sohc tac wont work.

i just finished the swap a few days ago. my temp is working along with all the other things;except the tach. i have not driven the car yet so can't tell it the mph is working..

i have the sohc right now. i only hooked up like 5 wires i think.
ground
tach
temp
etc.. left out the a/c one..
i used heavy throttles write up from the archives.
could it be the sensor?

yeah im thinking that tere's something wrong with the wiring...
thanks for the replies....ill try it again...

89-90 tach will not work u need to change for a 91+ or a jdm one.

i tried to use it, but it was the same thing....they both didnt work...
cuz i have the 89 HUD, and regular JDM tach....both did the same thing...

ok heres the deal, make sure you arent using an AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION tach. thos lil fcukers are different from teh manual transmission tachs. so yeah make sure if its JDM its has to be manual. ok.

and just to let you kno... the 180sx and the (s13) silvias share teh same tach. so swap away!

ps- good luck on your install. holla

mixedwell ;)
