Ilango taught it sometimes back, forgot, hope, he will explain again

 

[Varun560061]

Any updates on the tacho Varun? has it started to work?

 

[Varun560061]

Sorry, just removed it from the Dash, as of now no tacho.. need to get some branded one like type-R so it would stay for a longer time..

How much would those tacho cost, the ones fit on A pillar along with Voltmeter & one more meter. They also give a plastic covering for entire A pillar. Will search and post a pic may be you will like it

 

[Varun560061]

The gauges which you mentioning is mostly found on Lancer !!
It would cost not less than 5-10 k ...

Bought this Auto-gauge tacho meter, a very basic model costs Rs.1800/-











thanks

are you trying to install tacho cuz your car doesn't have it?

because my car has a tacho on the dash that has RPM upto 9000 RPM

I had to disconnect that and installed an aftermarket Tacho on my car because it doesn't have a rev limiter and lifters has been replaced.

my car now does Rev more than 9000 RPM and new tacho reads upto 11000 RPM

Yes in our case, maruti 800 does not come with a Tacho we are trying to install it..

I have almost tried 3 tacho's but it works fine for some days then its gone...

Nice one Sreejesh.. But where are you going to mount it ?

 

[codename47]

thats not nice! did you find out whats wrong?

 

[sreejeshtpl]

Varun, don't know where to mount it. Have to go and check. This tacho doesn't have a stand like the other costlier ones. I think, I have to make one.

As in every car there is a separate output for rmp in ecu, here in our case we need to give it to ignition coil which produces high voltage hence its not working for long time..

DIY, place it next to the instrument cluster as your dash board is flat, looks good..

 

[sreejeshtpl]

Yea, Thanks Varun. Will try that.

Could voltage fluctuation be the cause for it? Just had a doubt
