skiiirt Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 So I am in the process of working out a deal for a UB3 to swap into my car. I understand it should be a direct swap (with the pigtails from stockgp). However we ran into a question that has stumped me and the seller. The UB3 came from a cutlass with the 2.8L. I have the 3.4L, I know the redlines are different, will the guage adjust according to what my computer says the redline is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yes. It doesn't matter what car it came from, the redline will be 6500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yes. It doesn't matter what car it came from, the redline will be 6500. So the redline does adjust based off of the mem-cal? Because, if you look at the cluster now, I can see the redline starts at 5500. So will it just not lightup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 The redlines are determined from the ALDL orange wire you have.. THe cluster should adjust itself.. to what the redline is.. When you look at the cluster outside of its casing, you can see the line that would be the Yellow/red strip, starting at 60 (or 65? Dont recall for sure..)

Dirty Rockstar Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I just dug my UB3 out of the project box and saw that .. THanks for posting the right answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yeah, it has a bar at 5500 RPM, but I have never seen a car that uses the 5500 redline. My 3100 uses the 6000 RPM redline, even though it shifts at 5500. Same with the 3.1 cars. Dunno why, but that's how it is. The only time the 5500 bar lights up is when you start the car, and the cluster does it's little routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I just noticed tonight that mine has redline at 5500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99vetteman Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I can also vouch for this. My redline ALSO starts at 5500. Noticed that the day I installed the UB3. Psychomatt we both have a 94 3.4 DOHC. Obviously they are the same! Jason ALso, in general, what should your voltage be reading on the UB3. Mine always seems to be a little under the half way point. Is this normal? I notice on ToroToro's its slighly above half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is usually at or just under half, it reads about 13.5 (give or take) on my DIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 94-95 3.4 DOHC spits out an incorrect redline on the ALDL which is why it shows 5500. It's very easy to correct if you have the chip-programming tools to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99vetteman Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks for the info, at least I know its somewhat normal then for 94's to read 5500! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this normal? I notice on ToroToro's its slighly above half. My voltage usually reads 3/4 (just under) On shitty days it drops to a tick below half. And on the rainy 11 degree weather days it doesnt stay put, drops to almost 1/4 and back up to 3/4 with acceleration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
