pauly_adams Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 hey all just need a bit of advice. my brother got his hands on a brand new calibre 4 in 1 tachometer for free and gave it to me, the problem i have is its reaction time is slow (the needle is slow to respond) does anyone know how to fix this im running a standed dizzy but have a bosch gt40rt coil not the normal gt40r. cheers pauly Quote
dazzed Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 reset it to suit a six cylinder maybe set to suit a v8 Quote
pauly_adams Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 the actual tacho is accurate its just very slow, also that was the first thing i done its as if theres not enough voltage going to it but there is as all other gauges on it work fine eg digital temp, oil, volts. cheers pauly Quote
dazzed Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 so you have it wired into the dashboard, mounted in replacement of the oem tach, have you run a extra wire to the primary negative coil side for the pick up signal to the tacho? Quote
modular9 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Cant help about the issue but have a request can you post a pic of the tacho installed ? I need to replace my tacho with a proper working one ( one that works off the -ve instead of the +ve ) and have looked at these. Quote
pauly_adams Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 i no longer have it wired in i had it wired direct to the coil and yes its a (-) not a + and i had it on the negitve, as for pics ill get some up tomorow of my car and the tacho as i have fabed a air intake etc. i have searched the net and it mentions you can get a booster for the signal for the tacho but cant find one and im sure theres an easier answer somewhere i just thort i would check her fist, thanks for all the info keep it coming. cheers pauly Quote
