Quick interest query: s13 tachs converted for use on rb swaps...

[Carl H]

ok, after some experimenting I've figured out a way to convert ANY s13 tach into a compatible tach for use on rb swaps.this is not the "turn the pot all the way around till it kinda reads right mod" but is an actual hardware modification which when i tested it against my own setup was accurate to 7k.now the question would be who would be interested in this conversion and how much would you be willing to pay?i know that ls auto offers the same service but at 100$ + shipping that seems a bit steep to me...not in this to make money but im also not in this to give away something that other shops will freeload off of...so post up your thoughts.

Can you do the HUD gauge panels too Carl?

[digzsublime]

Yup, count me in. I have a HUD cluster too but I don't see why it would make a differnece. The only difference I saw between HUD and non HUD tachs was the size of the face. I could be wrong but, mechanically I think both tachs are the same.

DOOOO EEEEEEEEET CARL!!

[Carl H]

the hud clusters shouldnt be a problem, if you are interested catch me on aim or email me to discuss...

[nismopwr240]

I want, I want. I will get up with you on aim

[Coolwhip]

Carl.....you know

thumbs up!

[DJButton]

Yeah like I said before I have a bunch of Tachs floatin around, I'll be willing to send a few your way, so IM me with a price, man!

[Sky80]

OR you could post a bad *** how to so that everyone can do this themselves...

s14 compatable ??

[300Plus]

s14 compatable ??

+1

[Carl H]

s14 tachs can be calibrated with ease, they use the same control boards as the infinit j30 so some tweaking of the pot you can get it spot on...s13's however well much harder.

[Carl H]

seems like there is enough interest for me to actualy offer this to people, guess i'll order parts and will let everyone know when i officialy start.

[sohcslammed]

i have to say i was the guinea pig for carls tach experiment, and i havent had a problem yet. works everytime i start, run, and drive the car.

[Kansei240sx]

I could throw you some cash and a few S13 tachs. I've got alot of RB business in this town believe it or not. A few RB20/25's are rising up.

[Carl H]

is 45$ for the conversion and return shipping reasonable?

[lazyboi444]

That is a very decent price carl. I'm interested.

[rotorimp]

Sounds like a plan to me--count me in

[DJButton]

Dang it, I need to make some time to get that tach shipped to you!

[s14-240sx]

Are you still doing these?

[Carl H]

yes.

[lazyboi444]

Can anybody speak on the turn out?

[tlkq]

Its Carl...he is a wiring genius and someone higher in the thread said it works great...of course they are awesome

[ISUJinX]

+1 for Carl being awesome. Soon as I get a paycheck, mine's going to be coming your way.

[race4fox]

I'm interested if I can't get this R33 tach to work...

[Chaos the Xile]

No doubt. So all you need is that cluster itself no other supporting parts at all?

[ninety1two40]

I had Carl modify my S13 tach from my HUD cluster.... works great with my RB25!!

Just send him the tach part of the cluster. It is definitely worth it!

[lazyboi444]

Well thank for the confirmation...I was doubting him just wanted to hear reviews. Guess i'll have to get a spare tach and send it his way..

[digzsublime]

Will be getting with you soon Carl. I'm getting my RB20 hatch ready to sell and I'll be leaving the skyline tach in it. So, I'll deinitely be needing this for the 25.

Oh, btw, thanks for the Nismo FPR. Works great.
