I'm looking for a small tachometer (analog, lighted and white face preferred) for my little 3 cylinder smart.? Most tachometers can be switched from 4-6-8 cylinders. This does not help here. I don't wish to spend a fortune however. 2 1/16" Diameter is considered small.

Tachometer wiring diagram? I got this tach a long time ago, its one of those 4 in 1 deals and I have misplaced the wiring diagram, anyone know which colors go to what? < thats if its like a universal wiring system, if not I guess im screwed Its got: 1. tach 2. h20 tmp 3. oil pres 4. oil temp

How do I Install a Tachometer on a 1999 Toyota Corolla? 1998 and 99 Toyota corollas have DIS with wasted spark. where as 97 and older have distributor and 00+ have coil over plug. i currently have an aftermarket Tach spliced into a pulsing ground (yellow wire green stripe) on coil 1 which fires 1 and 4. the problem is the RPM values the tach shows are consistently half of what the car is actually doing. coil two has the same pulsing ground signal from a different pin from the ECU its a red wire with a blue stripe, i tried splicing into both and the tach did nothing. my question is, what did i do wrong? and how can i get the tach to display the correct values? (i.e what do i need to splice into?) any help would be appreciated as even a Toyota technician seemed slightly puzzled when i asked him how to go about installing a tach on that car. (he's the one that told me to use the yellow/green pulsing ground) its an aftermarket tach. the signal wire is green. but what im asking is WHERE do is splice it in

Connect honda Tachometer to a Kawasaki motorcycle engine? I have a tachometer from a 1983 honda 750 shadow motorcycle. I have tried connecting it to a 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 motorcycle engine. The problem is that although both engines are 4 cycle/stroke the honda uses a dual fire ignition system ( spark plug fires on both compression/power stroke and exhaust stroke. The Kawasaki is designed to fire on the power stroke only. No surprise that when connected to the negative side of the kawasaki coil the Honda tach. registered only 1/2 the actual RPM's. I went online and found a electrical diagram designed to correct this, it didn't work. The diagram showed a wire coming from the negative side of each Kawasaki coil. Each wire passing through a 1N4007 diode (Radio Shack) and, also, a 100K Ohm resistor then connecting together and continuing to the tachometer. Tachometer will not work at all with the described wiring adaptor connected to both coils, disconnect from one of the coils and again I get a reading but only 1/2 of actual rpm, Any suggestions as how to fix my peoblem? Thanks.

Which Car Is Better, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 OR SSC Ultimate Aero? Bugatti Veyron 16.4 OR SSC Ultimate Aero SSC Ultimate Aero is on this website - Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is on this website - Here is a little info about Bugatti Veyron 16.4: Produced by French automobile manufacturer "Bugatti Automobiles SAS" Bugatti Veyron represents the fastest sports car licensed for the road. The production started in 2006 and Bugatti masterpiece can be adopted for $1,700,000 (tax not included). Bugatti manufacturer decided to release 300 high-end "Veyron 16.4" models.Surely, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has something to tell about its power and driving pleasure. A stunning 1001 horse power under the hood tells about extraordinary acceleration and speed. The 2-door coupe "16.4" is equipped with 8 litre displacement, 16-cylinder W16 engine. Each cylinder is provided with 4 valves, for a total of 64. Despite the fact that it has plenty of cylinders and displaces eight liters, "Veyron" assist 4 turbochargers. Total of 10 radiators are installed in Bugatti Veyron for the engine cooling system, conditioning system, intercoolers and finally 4 oil radiators. The experiment showed that the speed limit of "16.4" is 407.9 km/h and is able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, 200 km/h - 7.3 sec, 300 km/h - 16.7 sec. The engine power is not the only one factor showing these stunning results - unique computer-controlled 7-speed gearbox is able to shift incredibly fast. At full speed, "16.4" uses 125 L/100 km, so the 100 litre fuel tank will be dry in just 12.5 minutes. The facts suggest that Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the fastest and quickest street legal car in auto history. The "16.4" weights 1890 kg, so the power/weight ratio comes to 1 hp/1.88 kg. Bugatti supercar has all-wheel drive system, especially high diameter brake discs, high-powered break system (able to stop the car from 250mph in less than ten seconds), ever rear spoiler alters its position by stopping the car. The car is developed around a carbon-fibre monocoque being so tight that there is no need for airbags.The Bugatti's cabin decorations are hand-made from expensive and quality materials, solemnizing and specifying richness. And what is more the Gauge-board displays current power the engine establishes. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 can fearlessly be described as precipitant and exclusive car of a dream. Here is some info about the SSC Ultimate Aero: After holding the 'World's Fastest Production Car' for the past year, the Shelby SuperCars' Ultimate Aero is receiving several refinements for the 2009 model year. The SSC engineering team equipped the 2009 Ultimate Aero with a 15-percent increase in horsepower, a revamped front fascia design, and an array of important interior upgrades. A milestone for the limited-production automobile manufacturer, the new block improves structural integrity and oiling capabilities allowing SSC to boost the power output to 1287 horsepower while improving durability.Armed with the more powerful new engine, the '09 Ultimate Aero will be able to reach world-record speeds of 270 MPH, raising the benchmark for supercars and pushing the limits of current production car technology. In order to accommodate the '09 Ultimate Aero's unique fuel system requirements, SSC turned to American company Aeromotive to develop a flawless system. The aggressive nose is redesigned with enhanced aerodynamics to accommodate the 2009 Ultimate Aero's higher top speed, and carbon fiber louvers on the side intakes draw in an additional 20% of air into the radiators for improved cooling. The improvement in overall performance will widen the already sizeable gap between the Ultimate Aero and its competitors. The '09 Ultimate Aero also introduces the AeroBrake a rear spoiler system that deploys under braking situations. Finished in carbon fiber, the rear spoilers actuate up an additional 8-inches when the brake pedal is depressed. The speed of the spoiler actuation is set by the amount of brake pedal pressure. The complete AeroBrake system can be disabled by the push of a button, for town driving or situations where braking and downforce assistance are not necessary.Rounding out the '09 Ultimate Aero's improvements is a revamped interior. A redesigned dash prominently displays sleek, exposed carbon fiber dash halves and inset air vents. Carbon fiber accents run along the doorsills, surround the new gauge cluster, and continue onto a revised steering column, which includes an analog speedometer and tachometer with a sequential shift light integrated into the tachometer needle. The new center console incorporates a digital temperature control unit and tire pressure monitor along with an Azentek PC base Infotainment unit. The revolutionary Azentek unit offers all the capabilities of a PC and processes SSC's onboard diagnostic software.

Anyone have a transmission problem with their Mazda Protege 03? Hi, I have a 03 hatchback mazda protege (4 speed transmission automatic, 40k milleage) and recently noticed that the gas milleage has dropped; the car burns more gas. I mostly drive the car on highway and noticed that when going 65-70 mph, the tachometer stays in between 3 and 3 1/2. Most cars that I have driven so far, I have seen the tochometer stay around 2 1/2 when driving 65-70 mph. Is this something normal w/ this type of Mazda? I have done tune up/transmission fluid/and changed the Input speed sensor in the transmission! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
