Not the tasty, crunchy things I like with a cold beer, but rev counters.
I need to fit an aftermarket tacho to the race car, but here comes my rotary engine confusion. Can I use a normal aftermarket tacho? Normally those come configurable for 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines. But it\'s a rotary!
Do I need some special tacho, or are those for piston engines suitable (maybe set to 4 cylinder as there are 4 spark plugs on the rotary?)
All advice gratefully received.

you are ideed correct , ive fited a 5" monster in mine an set it o 4 cylinder an it works perecty, hope that clears it up for you , good luck
Ah, superb! I\'ll add to my Autosport shopping list for Thursday. My Aladin\'s cave of things to be fitted is going to be full. It\'s already got fuel pumps, swirl pots, gauges, switches, braces, harnesses, flocked dashboard....
Good job my wife thinks I\'m ugly and she likes the milkman:D
ha ha ha , i was goin to that but im saving my coupons fo a bonnet an some mirrors !!! have fun
d-king, maybe you can save me some time! Can you recal what you hooked the wires on your tacho onto, will save me diggin through the wiring diagrams.
Cheers.
errr ??? i have no idea i did it in the dark with the green feed wire attacheed to a stanley blade lmao , if ya in no rush i could look this week sumtime ??
Just a general idea where you stuck the stanley blade would be a useful start. Cheers.
i took the dash pod (clocks) out an found the wiring that plugs into the rev counter behind it , if i get 5 tommorrow il havr a gander for ya mate
Ahm, so you have just hooked it off that. Excellent. If you can check that would be great. I\'ve had a head full of wiring todat and can\'t face it again tomorrow. Does my nut in.
hiya mate , didnt get chance today the weather turned bad on me sorry , hopefully tommorrow yeah
No probs fella.
hiya mate , ritey then here goes , the feed wire on your tacho (usually green) goes to the back of the dials where the plug is that plugs into your standard rev counter , the wire you have to break is BROWN with BLUE STRIPES , looking from outside the car to the back of the dials its the 3rd one down on the right hand side of the plug , hope that sorts it for ya , have the mirrors arrived yet ???
