nice tacho, but you should extent your rev limiter so you can see the needle move

[38VNIT]

??
what u mean remove the rev limiter, the needle will move?

[azzfox]

he said EXTEND... i think he was being sarchastic seeing there is a rev limiter set around 5,000rpm and the tacho can go to 11,000rpm

[38VNIT]

lol, blonde moment there...

[1991_Vn2nV]

Couldnt ya get one for $60 anyway from repco or something? One that does work...

[38VNIT]

I'll take a 3 1/4 anyday over a 5 inch tho. Little overkill isnt it?

[dezrik]

You know, with all this talk of inches, I'm real tempted to make off colour jokes.

[38VNIT]

lol yea i was against big tacho's cause they look dicky, but for 40$ i can easily re sell it here in my town for 150$ lol so ill attemp it and see if i like it...

heh i was thinking tak's upgraded race spec 4a-ge 4cyl NA engine ^_^ that does 11,000rpm.....

( for those that dont know, tak = Takumi, driver of a hatch back car in the japanese animated series, Initial D )

[YSOBLU]

The tacho should work fine if you run it from the tacho pulse line thats behind the passengers side strut tower..... or if your current dash does not have a tacho you could tap into the tacho pulse wire that goes to the cluster... either way it will work, but its not possible to just add it to the negative side of the coils and let it work, it just wont....

But definately should work if wired up as above

[VNPOWER]

bro its not going to work..

good luck tho

[1991_Vn2nV]

bro its not going to work..

good luck tho

Why not? Mine works fine.

[VNPOWER]

your vn is a series 2... some series 1 vns dont work with after market tachos.

[azzfox]

bro its not going to work..

how you know? it has been done before

[azzfox]

coolvncommodore has got a series 1 and it worked

[VNPOWER]

bro, half the people on these forums cant get a tacho working including me. Do a search and see how many people complain about that wire not working. The voltage on the wire is too low for most tachos to respond to.

[coolvxss]

Ive got a speco tacho and got it working off the wire behind the cluster. I can also get it working from that brown wire near the left strut tower.
