sohc to dohc tach write up

[neverlift]

ok guys after being asked to do this in a more proper fashion and I have my camera cables back, here you go.

tools needed: screw driver phillips head,wire strippers/cutters/crimpers, 14mm(iirc to lower steering column) socket/with ratchet& extension(s).

Step one remove kick panel on driver side,along with sill if you feel needed.Step two remove knee panel.Step three lower steering column.Step four remove bezel from around gauge cluster.Step five remove screw for cluster and pull said cluster out.Step six locate TAM on back of cluster and wire that feeds TAM( should be yellow with red stripe). Cut the TAM wire, please use common sense and leave yourself some room to work on both sides of the wire. Step seven run a single wire from the cabin to the engine bay, near your coil(ignition coil). Go ahead and attach this to the plug side of the TAM wire.Step eight cut or skin(skin will be better on stock coil IMHO) coil positive wire, and solder/butt connect in the wire you ran from cabin. Step nine shroud/protect your wire from heat/moving objects.Step ten test out the tach works.Step elleven put your car back together. And enjoy the freebie

here is a vid of the tach working(and me hitting my launch limiter )http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieBeEaYu3Cs

not too familiar with cop(yet lol)

but IF the coils all have the same positive feed and are grounded to fire then tap 1st cylinder coil, thats the best I can offer as far as advice with cop again as of now that is.

I just know that there is someone on here that has an aftermarket tach on an sr, the sohc tach is simple in design like an aftermarket one, it only NEEDs power,ground,signal to work(a square wave curcuit IIRC is the name),but again I have not studied the sr fsm.best of luck

hey d!ck you ever catch this one? do I get something else custom now.

I understand everything here except for where on my coil im supposed to hook the wire from the cabin up to on the coil. I have a stock ignition coil could you please verify this...

[neverlift]

well IIRC(as you see I dont have a stock coil anymore or much else lol, but I recall green with a black stripe. Someone call me out if wrong... you could check the fsm too, I dont feel like it right now
