can any1 give some good installing intructions on installing a tack

 

Moving to USLG.

 

Check posts on the pin outs for the ECU. You just need to tap the RPM wire. Make sure you soldier the wire to get an accurate reading.

 

It's the green wire behind the cluster on the left side harness. I did it, it's easy.

 

umm do any1 knoe where is the coil ignition wire is at i cant find it .....

 

"Coil Ignition?" You should only need to hook up three diffferent wires. 12V switched power, which can be found in a slew of different places, I found the the best place was the fuse box, took it from the cigatette lighter line. Then you need to tap the rpm, or tachometer line. You can take it from the car's cpu, or easier, pull out the gauge cluster bezel (two screws) then pull out the gauge cluster (three screws), and unplug two large harnesses on the back of it. The signal line is on the left side, closer to driver door harness. It's the green wire, the best way to ensure this is the correct line is to use a dmm if you have one. After you tap that line, just ground it somewhere secure (with no paint) and all ya have to do now is mount it.

 

i use only 3 wires gee why do i have 4 then......ok imma do wat u say and hook it up if it works thanx bro

 

The fourth is probably for the tach lighting, but that's just for looks, wouldn't prevent the tach from operating correctly, just remember, make sure the last thing you do is hook up ground, or do it all with neg. on battery disconnected.

 

that 4th wire...u could hook up to ur headlight switch...with my a/f guage there was a 4th wire and all it does is turn on the black lightning and dim the a/f lights. i didn't bother with it.

just hook it up to ur headlight power wire whatever, so when u turn on ur headlights the tach would show differently. but u dont have to

 

Yhea, everyone is right about the 4th wire...just for switched lighting. I've hooked tachs to my other cars that didn't have them (certainly nothing as large as 5" though) and they both followed these same instructions. My Tercel, on the other hand, was really easy, because hanging off the distributor was a connector for the test tach the factory uses.

Why install such a big tach? Are you doing serious dragging, or do you simply have rice envy?

 

u say rice... well i freakin eat rice every single day.....well u guyz can say watever you guyz want ..... i got this tach free anyway so why not put it on ..... if i put it on i knoe alot of pple are gonna say rice this rice that atleast i dont have a ricey *** honda all show but no go ...... asoon has we have some parts dhat can let us have huge horse power gain for our lancers ill have a "ricey"lookin car and still back it up so untill we some good has parts for our car ..... "ricey" has u pple call it is wat i would do for now.....

 

so do i need this adapter thing since us lancers dhat have dhat coil ignition in order to install or it can be tap in one of the wires behind the cluster

 

no here has installed a freakin tach meter on the lancer... came on give me some intructions and freakin pics would help.... if i not I GIVE UP....... Any1 want a freakin TACH

 

Dude, you still haven't got that installed yet, it's freakin easy, on a scale of 1-10, it's like a 2 in difficulty. It shouldn't take more than an hour to do. Do you have a dmm, if not, get one, or take it to a professional.

 

how u install u say..... very carefully u stupid guy.... well i have a freakin tach also....but idk how find this stupid coilignition or some stupid shyt lyke dhat also.....
its made from autometer and they said that late model cars dont have this stupid coil igniton or some shyt..... u need this adapter lookin thing ...... i read that some pple here have installed tachs through the wires behind the cluster .... but i also cant find where this stupid green wire goes..... and u could go through the ecu das wat some pple say but hell no i aint touching there be4 i end doing somethin i regret..... so if any one installed a tach please please please take some pics and help a pple out
