Digital Tachometer

[Dads_FJ]

ugh...  Did their tech-support offer any advice or thoughts on what's up?

But then when they shrug their shoulders

I called them yesterday and the tech I spoke to was not sure what to do. I am going to email them a copy of the OEM FJ wiring diagram and see what they can suggest.

I tried wiring the tachometer like Dads_FJ diagram. No change in the rpm's. 

My next avenue to wander down is to connect the tachometer signal wire to the grey wire coming from the Coil Pick up to the Igniter.

Fred - did you try reconnecting the blue wire?

After speaking to the manufacturer, a few inquiries to fellow forum members and trying a few different on the bike wiring options. It has been determined that the Intellitronix Tachometer WILL NOT work with our engines. I have researched and found a suitable digital tach as a replacement.




This one is programmable to your exact engine type. I got it programmed and set up, works perfectly and looks a lot better than the other one. I am mucho happy with this one.

I used the Drift Iridium Red Tachometer http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/red-display-drift-iridium-gauges-55-c.asp


I would not recommend this Tachometer mod along with the Speedometer mod as a go to gauge mod to replace failing OEM gauges.

I am extremely happy with the final results,  IMO the aesthetics are awesome.....but there is extensive modifying of parts to make it a success. There is also the cost, $345.00 for both gauges.

If any member wants to take the leap and go this route, PM me for installation details.
