HI All,

So is there no Tachometer which can be fitted on the Swift LDI?

sushrutha · 28th June 2011, 11:50

An urgent help.
I recently brought an Autogauge 2 in 1 digital Voltmeter+RPM meter.
Need to install this in my CIVIC. When connected, Voltmeter works fine.
Though I already have a stock RPM meter in a CIVIC, but I want this Autoguage unit to be installed seperately which looks cool too (Digital RPM ;-) )
Has anybody installed an addon tachometer in CIVIC ?
Now from the gauge where do I have to clip the RPM wire into ? Where in distributor ? Or does the RPM singal come from ECU ? How easy is it to install an RPM meter.

Can be done in this way, BUTTTT.........
I don't want to open my dashboard and tap the wire which is for RPM meter in the dashboard.

This is how the Gauge looks

^^ Find out the RPM signal output from ECU and connect with that. Or open up the console and hook a wire in parallel with the existing Tachometer.

Does anybody has the R18 Civic ECU wiring diagram. Don't know which pin# to tap for the Tacho.

That's for the CIVIC Si.
Is it same for the R18 Civic which we have here in India ?

Hey all,

Is it possible to fit the Ritz VDI tacho meter on the Ritz LDI.

Require this info urgently, has any one tried this.

Nash24 · 20th July 2011, 10:39

Hey Folks,

Info required, has no one tried putting the RITZ VDI tacho on the RITZ LDI.

Is this possible?

When I bought my car I was also thinking of going for a LDi and fit Tacho from VDi, this should not be a problem. But I do not know the cost of the Tacho and labour charges involves. I would suggest get a ScanGauge II instead for Ritz LDi. You'll get much more than a tacho.. Think about this!

Thanks mate, this is a life saver for me, how much does this cost? 160 AUD right? any place in india where i can i get it cheaper?

How sure are you i can fit the VDI tacho on the LDI? I really dont mind the cost of this tacho, even if it is 5k I'm ready for it

Can you please explain how have you fitted the scan guage 2, where is the wire connected to.

I got it thru' ebay, shipper was Wooders from Australia. Forgot the price you can check my ScanGaugeII thread.

archat68 · 20th July 2011, 22:55

You can buy it from Amazon too. Although you will need a Aramex Shop and Ship type account. Buy the Scangauge E for 95$ from Amazon.
Amazon.com: ScanGaugeE Compact Multifunction Trip Computer with Customizable Real-Time Fuel Economy Digital Gauges: Automotive

You will need to pay 10$ for shipping to India through Aramex Shop and Ship. If you are lucky Customs duty will be Nil else it will be 15%.

Shop and Ship :: Home

You will connect it to the OBDII socket.

Oh wait - there is a better and cheaper alternative.

UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool

Buy this - much cheaper but almost similar in functionality to SGII.

You can buy used SGII from ebay USA too:
