Wiring Tacho On 4agze

[Swizzat]

where do i find the signal for the tacho on a 4AGZE as i have a taco-less nova(rolla) and i wanna put one in.

 

any help would be much appricaited cheers

the black wire should go to the negitive of the ignition(to tell what revs it's doing) and then red goes to ignition power(so when you turn the key on the tacho turns on and then you have the power wire for the lights which is self explanitory run it to a park light wire

 

what brand of tacho do you have if it is autometer there wil be two wires that come out the back of the tacho and you will have to cut a 1 wire for a 6 cylinder and both for a 4 banger and leave them alone for a v8

 

speco meter i think there is just a switch at the back of the tacho for how many cylinders it has

Since a fair few GZEs are DLI, this makes things a bit harder.

its a "drift" brand one, it has a switch for it, i just need to get the signal of the negative side of the coils then do i?

I though 4agze ecu's have a tach out?

true that

[Swizzat]

i have a SAFC with a tachometer, could i wire it off that? and where would it be???

Build this circuit and wire it to each of the two coil packs to have an accurate tacho output.

They don't.

I have just replace my non tacho cluster with a tacho one for my Ae95,everything works except for the tacho,does anyone which wire I'm missing to get the tacho to work ?

Thanks

Incorrect.... mostly.

 

You can use the IGf signal as a low level (5V) tacho signal.

I'm also quite certain that the ignitor has a dedicated tacho output as well.

 

If you have an old style tacho that used to connect to the coil negative terminal, you might need a tacho booster to get the tacho to work from the low-level tacho signal.
