iwontarolla Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 So i have a ae71 tacho dash, i'm going to put it in my ke70 panel van. but none of the plugs line up, I've found a guide on toymod http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/tech-conversions/568-ke70-panel-van-dash.html still kinda can't get my head around it. any help would be great, i still have the 4k in my pano as well. thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Pretty sure all the wiring/plugs is totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master of Awesome Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Pretty sure all the wiring/plugs is totally different. Plugs are the same, wiring is different. All you do, pull your cluster out, then copy the wiring diagram that's in that Toymods thread, you need to change it so your wires are the same as ADM KE70, it's fairly straight forward, the wires just unclip and you clip them into the new plug position. Did it in my panelvan but i couldn't get the factory water temp gauge to work which isn't a big deal. Should only take a hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 How does the tacho get it's signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rian Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 The tacho gets it's signal from the negative terminal on the coil I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well it should do, but I'm guessing I have to put that one in wouldn't i? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master of Awesome Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I was literally out driving and remembered that, run a wire from negative part of coil to where the tacho signal is in the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 yea i thought you had to as the panel van doesn't have the tacho signal. I guess i just have to trace back from the tacho to what plug it is or do you remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 its a black wire in the plug closest to the indicator side http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?title=Installing_an_Aftermarket_Tacho_Into_KE70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwontarolla Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 did it today every thing works expect dash lights but ill fix that. sadly i shorted out the clock some how so got to find another one or fix it depending on what blow. that guide worked great. there where just couple wire that weren't the same. tacho works I'm going to check it some time soon to see if its accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Lugg Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does anyone know if there is another place to find the toymods guide? Their forums seem to be down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 You can try installing a 1kohm resistor in the tacho wire and see if that helps needle stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Lugg Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Site is back up - interwebz won't allow me to download the file. If someone has a copy and could email it to me that would be great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
