I was thinking of getting a Tacho for my car, how would I go about it? Fitting it etc. What does it connect to and could it be a do it yourself job?

 

here i come to help again

The 4 Door CC and GSR Models get the 4 gauge cluster.. which it has the Tacho, Speedo, Fuel and Temp guage..

Heres a link on where you connect the negative from the coil, and how to install a tacho, it is a DIY job, and but takes a bit to run the cable through the firewall..

You can buy an aftermarket Tacho, and its simple, you just use the same negative from the coil, and use the accessories for the lights so they come on, or hook it upto the lights switch so whent he lights turn on so does the lights in the a/f tacho

The cables are :
on the back of the coil, ( black thing with the spark plug leads coming out) is a lead that has 2 cable... one white, one black.. that go into a quick release harness ( see photo) i have put the TM from the back of the cluster into the white lead thats on that plug..

Now i did all this with trial and error using a workshop manual, and i managed to do...

The plug you are looking for, has a white female end and a black male end, with a skinny white wire and a thicker black wire coming from it.. it comes from the coil itself, so you can't miss it...

 

Sorry for the picture quality and unclean car *embarrased*

This is the dash i fitted to mine from a CC GSR.. and yes, i fitted the little baby blue evo 6 inside the plastic so it can't be touched, and the ralliart sticker as well..

Thanks a lot, that really helps. Yeah I'm looking at getting an after market one to sit on the right side of my dash, any idea's on the price?

 

If i brought one i wouldnt buy any but Auto-Meter.. and you'll be paying i think around $300 for the big one witht he shift light..


unless you have someone in the know

 

I dont have that kind of money, What are some cheaper ones, and are there any online stores with pics that you know about?

 

In melbourne im not sure, but you can get the spitfire ones cheaper.. and if you really need to Ebay it.. some things are legit on there

 

I'm thinking of making my own one, a LED readout with say.... 8 LED's lined up.

Does anyone know the voltage range that the coil will output? is it like 0-12 volts? maybe 2volts at idle.... ?
