VR 424 11p auto speedo correction ?

Post by Jaso74 »

Hi all .

I've been searching but not sure on what way to go to correct the speedo on my VR 355 that I have just changed diff ratio from 3.08 to 3.77 .
I did find this - Q. How do I calculate a PPK change when I change my diff ratio?
A. See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5670#p84421

But I can't find any PPK anywhere in tp5 software ?

I also seen mention of the jaycar correction unit but it seems the current one is no good and the previous version is no longer a thing .

Any tips guys ?

It's definitely in there, I played with it for ages at one stage.
I'll look it up and report back.

They don't change the reading on the dash the ecu just passes through whatever speed signal comes into it
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem

Thanks guys , I have ordered a Dakota digital speedo/tacho interface to put inline with speedo to correct it .
Seems to be the current best option .
For anyone else looking for a work around , this is the device - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/324864700905 or https://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm ... rd1192.htm


Thanks .

So bit of a follow up question , If I splice the Dakota digital interface into the gear box tranducer before it goes into ecu/speedo, in theory I don't have to do any correction for diff ratio change in tp5 as the ecu and speedo will see the modified pulse ?
That's right isn't it or am I wrong ?

I have been too busy mucking for fueling tune issues etc and haven't got the speedo correction yet but the box is here ready to go .
