1)does any one know where you plug the wire from the ecu (speed sensor) i cant seem to find it.
2) the water temp guage at the front of the engine when i plug this in the guage goes right up
3) same as question 2 but for the oil guage.
i just put in a 4age blue black top and i am wanting to use the guages that are on the stock dash ae86.

blue black top? WTF

ok heres a tip on how I recomend you ask for what you want:

I have this car ___ with this engine ____ and my problem is this:

Nothing personal, just a tip on how to improve the chances of getting the info your chasing.

So which engine is it?

maybe its a blue top (early bigport 4age) with black painted cams

dont think u need the speed sensor unless u dont want to go over 180kmph (not that u will... or will u?)

have you tried running the engine to normal temp and its still them same?
if not maybe replace the sensors or bad earth?

more detail as samq suggested...

car is an ae86 just put a blue top engine it hax black writing too didnt think that was an issue.
im pretty sure i need a speed sensor connected to the ecu to tell it how much fuel to use.
the earth is good.
if any one has done this conversion and has done the wiring themselves where did you plug the (spd) wire from the loom

the water temp guage should plug near the thermostat housing & for the oil guage should be near the oil filter on the block
