hey guys,

 

well ive got the 1ggte into the ke70 rebuilt and running well now :P

 

latest issue is, i want to keep the stock tacho, however its designed for a 4 cylinder engine, and I'm getting a 6 cylinder pulse from the mallory ignition system

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do this, or knows a product to convert it?

i found one, but at 295 i could just pay someone to steal teddy's custom dash and gauges :jamie:

i just thought that maybe i could reprint the tacho face thingo with the numbers 2/3rds further round, but i would run out of tacho around the 6000 mark then...not enough hehe

so if anyone has any solutions or ideas I'm keen to hear them

cheers, andrew

Just put an aftermarket tacho in.

 

Make is fully sick 75 inch one, and mount it on the roof, so everyone else can see what revs you are doing as you slide off the road :jamie:

NEXT PLEASE :jamie:

best option so far is mimicking teddy's design of hiding a dicky tacho in behind stock location :P

Maybe Jaycar may have a kit to convert the pulse?

hi,

I bumped in to a guy a few weeks ago why not drop him an e-mail see if he has anything,

just visit the website above and find his e-mail addy..

he does "preformance" wiring for cars..

 

"my fully sic 20" starter cable let me run 19's on the 1/4" <----- now thats preformance wiring LOL...

Can probably be done by changing a few resistors and capacitors in the cluster, should be an article on toymods about it..

no to jaycar :jamie:
