Installing A Tacho Into Ae94 Csi

[AE94 Driver]

Hi all, new here. :wink:

 

I have a 1992 Toyota Corolla CSi Twincam AE94 sedan. It has a 4A-FE engine and a 4 speed auto (3 speed, plus overdrive switch on lever). It doesn't have a tacho on the dashboard, however it has the fuel guage and temperature guage in the right hand "big circle" where the tacho exists on other versions. I am wondering, is it possible to simply replace the cluster with a tacho, and do I have to modify any wiring to make it work? I have recently been offered a aftermarket tacho, so I don't know if that is better instead or what.

 

Thanks in advance. :)

Should be just able to put the tacho dash in.

So I guess that the tacho will work when I hook it up, does the tacho use a cable to connect the engine or is it an electrical signal? :)

Electrical signal from the coil, cables are for OLD diesels!!

Just put the factory tacho dash in.

(Only just noticed this post) Ah I knew where I got the cable for the tacho from - I read an ancient car book when I was a little kid and it showed how everything in a car worked, and it had a cable operated tacho. :laff:

Love cable drive tachos, they have full delay and go past what they actually rev to when you give them a rev.
