billyssp Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) This is the issue i'm having. I don't know how to wire up my turbo distributor. Been reading the Mega Squirt website and i got a link back to hybrid Z because I can't find any information from Gotech. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?showtopic=23244 And here's a picture from the manual. I just don't know what else to try. Thanks for your help Edited October 5, 2012 by billyssp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zphilly Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Whats up Bill, sorry to see you are having problems still with the Gotech. Did you ever find a tps that worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zphilly Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You are admittedly much better than I am at the electronics stuff, here's a link to the FSMs for s130's if you dont have it already... http://www.xenons130.com/reference.html Hope that could be of some assistance. Cant wait for the 80's supercar shootout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyssp Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 yeah Phill I'm using a 240sx tps. I just don't want to use a non turbo distributor. My problem is that i get a weak signal to the coil. And Phill any updates on your ZX. Im just going to have to go with a non-turbo dizzy and 6al box....

kaito Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I dont know anything about the gotech ecu but do you have the signal wire going to the g/b wire on the dizzy, the +5v going to the b/w and negative going to black (these are colors directly off the dizzy, not the harness side, if you happended to cut it off and use the plug.)? If so do you have a pullup resistor on the signal wire? Also there is a spade connector on the dizzy itself by the base. That is where the signal wire was internally shielded. You definitely need to ground this spade connector. Try that first and see if your signal gets better. You are probably gonna need to play with some resistors on that +5v wire to get it working properly. good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, try hooking up your signal wire on the dizzy to the signal wire for your ecu, give the dizzy power via a keyed ignition source, and ground the black wire and the spade connector. That should get you going. Sorry, Im sleepy right now.If that still gives you bad signal, just the pullup resistor as per megasquirt thread you posted and try again. One of those two setups should definitely work for you. I soldered the resistor straight to the dizzy power on my setup fyi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyssp Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Which pullup resistor should I use??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zphilly Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yea man I still have a leaky intake/exhaust gasket... Ive been too lazy/ it's been too cold to change it. Additionally I want to put new studs and bolts for the intake and exhaust since the p/0 misplaced two of the exhaust nuts and one of the nuts for the downpipe... FML... Once you clear the obstacles with the gotech setup, I'm gonna have to ride your **** and try the **** out myself... Seems like a really good deal for the price. p.s.... 60-1 is gonna dominate the 80s supercar shootout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Why do you want to keep the turbo dizzy? The only reason I'd want a turbo dizzy is if I was using stock turbo electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyssp Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 So i don't have to go out and find a NON turbo distributor.... PS, Phill only one way to find out. Line it up !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Non-turbo dizzys are easy to find, I have 3 of them, that I'm not using, I'm sure someone would trade you their non-turbo dizzy for your turbo dizzy. It sounds like a non-turbo dizzy would make things much easier for you. Are you trying to control timing with this ECM, or just feed it a trigger signal?

billyssp Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I just need a trigger signal... And i have a nonturbo distributor i just don't have the distributor base... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
