cluster question

[rb250sx]

Has anyone ever tried to swap the RB tach into the KA cluster? Im trying to figure out a way to wire it up right now, but i was wondering if anyone has already done it? please let me know.

[Wulfgang]

YES! Wait.... you have an '89. It will NOT work in an S14. I think this will work in an S13 tho. Can someone verify this?

[b-s14]

so what gauges are the RB s14 people using.. ?

[Phixius]

I believe they are using the R33 gauge cluster

[blk90s13]

do we have to use the RB tack ? i have a SR tach in my car right noww will it work ?

i mean its same redline and all

or is it diff from the RB ? i hate to have the tach in blue and the rest is black as i seen a couple looks ghettooooooooo

I think youcan recalibrate the s13 tach to see the 6 cylider imput get a friend who is and electronics dude to have a look. I fyou hook it up the differnce is 25% I believe.meggala

you can always send it in towww.mckinneymotorsports.com/ and they will change your speedo to 180mph and reprogram your tach

dose any one kno if a r32w/auto transmission cluster will work in my s13w/rb25w/5spd trany

[Wulfgang]

S14 people can use their clusters as is. You need to use the speed sensor from the KA and calibrate the tach, but then it works fine.

i dont kno about that bro your still going from a 4 to a 6 and thats totally difrent plus whats the speedo on a ka go to 120 140my rb25 go's 165' before speedcut it totally dosent make sensei would still totally go with mickinney if you want to keep your sr or ka cluster you still have a cluster that fits and its acurate im tellin you mack is on point

[Wulfgang]

I have the S14 with RB20, and I'm tellin YOU that it works. Read the forum. Lots of people have done it, and the tach works fine after calibration. If you want a speedo to 180 mph, then that's another thing, but for a stock setup, KA cluster works fine.

I have a little something in the works right now for a properly operating tach in my s14 cluster:)

[Wulfgang]

Does it involve an AVR or PIC? I had one designed, but after measuring and finding out that the signal to the tach is just variable duty cycle (the inverted dwell signal), I decided that tachs are waaay to easy to make and that using the pot on the back of the tach or a very, very simple 2/3 voltage divider had to work at least as well as any MCU solution. Heck, Nissan even helps out by increasing the dwell when the battery voltage is low so you don't have to compensate for voltage variations. Just buffer and lowpass the inverted dwell signal at about 10 Hz and put it through an ammeter.

i swap out the 91 S13 tach w/ the RB20's....we'll see how it turn out soon.

[goofynick6]

No, it involves everything looking and working "like" stock

cant you just switch the speedo ,tach and temp gauges
