T56 into vn

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Hi All,

 

Just wondering if anyone can help. i have put a t56 into a vn and want to get the speedo to work. i know the vns are a hall effect sensor and the t56 is a induction sensor. can anyone tell me how i can fix this?

 

Thanks Chris

Give Malwood a ring he may have a hall affect sensor that will fit, I think the 3 wire vss is a hall affect

t56 vss is a 12v signwave

ls1 ecu output is a 12v square wave.

pretty sure the input for the vn cluster is 12v signwave

digital dakota sells a box that can adjust the pulse width to suit your driveline to get the pulse count right.

Hi All,

Thank you for your reply, i will look into the digital dakota box.

Hi All,

 

Just an update i have go the speedo to read using the LS1 ecu out put. I just need to check if it is accurate.

Pretty sure from my poor memory when we did mine the speedo was out a little.  The engineer picked it up and wanted it fixed.  We did it on the dyno, just ran it up to a known speed and I think he just tweaked something in the ECU to correct it.

For the money bought 2 speedo correctors off ‘festy’ from for sale section of pcmhacking.net recently

 

$80-$90 with ton of adjustability.

 

Tried to link it but didn’t work,can read thread on product of it’s different uses.

Nice work

Or download a GPS app on your phone, go for a drive and then adjust.

Is it easy to adjust yourself or do you have to have one of those scan tool thingys?

Depends on the PCM.

[gtrboyyParticipant gtrboyy1.6 Getz View build HERE Member since: January 20, 2016 Posts: 201]

If ls ecu & vn speedo are same signal then adjusting that way with gps phone app to check speed will be fine.

 

Assumed signal would be different the way vn-p speedo works.

Easiest way VN-VS would be to get a speedo corrector kit.  VT onward you can get the app to modify the dash data to correct the speedometer.

Obviously if you have an LS style PCM and access to HP tuners or the like than it can be done via the PCM.

So it did work directly, without the signal converter?

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Hi Stevoss, yeah it worked with out a converter. The speedo and tachometer were out. I know the speedo was out by 30kms and efi dynamics corrected them through the ECU.
