I bought a Rev/speed meter from Apexi the new one. I hooked it up and i pluged he wire to the rpm sender but when i started the car it it was 3000 rpm's off. when i rev'ed just a lil bit the meter said that i was red lined. I put it to the baby blue wire in the ecu is there something i'm doing wrong? People with shift lights where to you connect it to?

Hey man on my Apexi SAFC that is what mine read at first, there should be a setting on it for a V6 application or 4 cyl. application. Most likley yours is on V 6right now. Sorry if this sounds smart ***, but have you read the manual? It is already connected for RPM readings correctly.


Edited for spelling...it's to late righ tnow...or is it to early??

Yes Mine is set to v4 i have to set it to v16 before ti even gets close to my rpm's I sold it to someone with a civic si 2000 and installed in on his car no problem. All the settings were set right. And there is something else i noticed i had a shop put on my Nx kit for me and with the window switch i have it set to 3,400 it seems like it comes on early sometimes or later. I know he is using the right wire its the blue one on the ecu chip but something is not reading right.

Try using the RPM test wire by the battery, its blue and under a black rubber boot thing, thats what I used for my o2 simulator....
