swapping clusters

[89supra884]

well upon working on my friends headgasket, i realizd he has a 5 speed turbo cluster, and his car is auto non turbo, and i just swapped the 5 speed turbo into mine, and the current cluster is auto na. i know the reason my tach is not working is due to the swap, so if i swap his cluster over will my tach work again, or is there different wiring invloved.

thankyou

it should if the tach was working in his car it will work in yours

If your car was n/a you just need the turbo tach.

so i just have to unplug my na tach, and plug the 5 speed one in?

was your car na or its was orginally turbo..?

it was originally auto non turbo

it should work, remove the cluster, unscrew the tach and install the new one, took me 15 minutes in the dark with cars zooming by as I was parked on the side of the street..

thankyou

and i wouldnt by any chance have to swap oil pressure gauges to, would i? because that is not working either

Did you use a jdm oil pressure sensor? If yes, then yes replace the gauge and sending unit(usdm) as hopefully you just blew out the gauge.

 

[89supra884]

i dont think i did, all i did was swapped engine and wiring harness, i didnt mess with the sending unit. it was weired because when i first started it up it went almost all the way up, now it just doesnt work, i have an 87 oil pressure gauge, will that work?

 

[hvyman]

Is the engine a jdm engine?

The 87 will work but if you have a jdm sending unit it will fry the gauge son and you try to start the gauge.

WTF! lol wow i would be pissin my pants if i had todo this^FLorida Drives are Scary

 

[89supra884]

well i swapped tach and it worked, i also swapped oil pressure gauges and it went all the way up to 120 again, so what do i need to do to fix it, and no it is not a jdm engine

 

[hvyman]

Check the sensor and wiring.

 

[89supra884]

where is the sensor located. i didnt switch sending units when i did the swap, are the turbo and na sending units different?

 

[hvyman]

No same. Its in front of the oil filter head with a little rubber boot on it.

 

[89supra884]

hmmmm, thats weired, ill have to check it. like i said i just swapped the new one in and it started going all the way up again. thanks for the help
