HELP-How to connect RPM meter in SWIFT

tabrez02 · 8th November 2006, 08:55

Hi Guys,

This is for the technical expertise,

i recently bought a smoke series 3inch RPM of R-tech or so, after fitting found out that SWIFT has a dual coil and the RPM cannot be fitted. is it so? is there any possibility that i can fit it ? has anybody done it ? Please help...

I'm surprised. Doesn't Swift come with a tacho? or is this some fancy upgrade...

Its a fancy upgrade, any inputs samurai.

yup Samurai, i believe all models do come with a tacho. I was just thinking the same thing.

Your fancy tacho and the company installed would work in tandem or are you going to remove the OE? Leaving apart the fact that gizmoing has no logic (I also do..

), what is the need for this upgrade, if I may ask?

Actualy i was fitting the meters on the right beam (dont know what they call it) i have included a, AIR/Fuel, Volt meter and there was an empty hole for one more meter to fit, as that guy didnt had Oil Temp meter and has a tacho instead, it went as a fancy. this is the story behind having another tacho and as it is a smoke series and looks cool. I am requesting help for the same.

Tabrez : i think you have the Smoked out meters which come in a set of three? and are attached on to the A pillar right? i have one on my santro too and i have the same problem dual coil so the rpm meter shows only half the rpm. I'm gonna get it fixed through manik(driven) in a day or two will keep u updated.

And then if the two tacho's show different readings, you can worry some more and post some more queries.

aZa, thanks.

I realy astonished to see there is not a single thread concerning this issue. Hope this will be solved but i am sure its not that difficult.

dumb idea: but will taking the input readings from the existing tacho wiring help???

tabrez02 · 8th November 2006, 10:49

Tried even from the existing tacho, not able to find any wire for that.

I have the same problem on my corsa.. it has no rpm meter by default. the electrician isolated the rpm signal but it is showing only half the rpm.. any help ?

tabrez02 · 8th November 2006, 12:17

Even spoke with the MAD guy for the solution, the guy promised to let me know the info in 3-4days.

Why don't you wait for the Oil temp guage instead of having two tachos?
