What a pain :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan24 Member 20 Member For: 15y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/06/10 10:06 AM Author Share Posted 16/06/10 10:06 AM Well I got onto turbosmart and they helped me reset it, all good now!But the only problem I have is that I haven't wired up the rpm signal wire, now I have search and I think I need a sine wave converter or something? But most thread I have seen have been someone trying to install a monster tacho and get flamed.Anyone able to help out with the rpm issue? And if I do need a sine converter, where do you get them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unit will work just fine without the rpm input, if you really want to feed it rpm you will need the herrod/ford motor sport converter. FWIW summit racing have the ford motorsport tach driver for less than herrods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBO4LT Member 1,533 Member For: 21y 4m 29d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 17/06/10 07:31 AM Share Posted 17/06/10 07:31 AM You can use the rpm signal for a few reasons:1/ To activate a buzzer or light at a set rpm. (Shift alert)2/ To add or remove boost from the top end of the rev range between two set rpm points that you can set to any rpm. This helps in the top end where usually boost drops off.3/ To use the Set point mapping, where you can select boost levels at all 500rpm intervals through out the rev range.4/ To swithch a device on or off at certian rpm points (such as water injection, nitrous and so on)that's what comes to mind quickly.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
