Wire color for revcounter?

[zounds]

Hi, does anybody know which color the wire for the rev counter/tacho has? It must could be found out by the ignition coil!? Right?

thin black with red line. Goes from the igniter to the big connector on the firewall.

well,
it will not work without mods

1. this is how I did it http://www.msextra.com/viewtopic.php?p=147821#147821

2. or you can use this http://www.msextra.com/manuals/MS_Extra_...ivolts.GIF

Have you mapped your BT. Do you use speed density or Alpha-N? I'll be mapping an open ITB silvertop soon so any info would be appreciated.

Yes, but i have tried the 2 way you wrote. And the trick with the 3 diode's just dont work:-( Maybe i should try to look at the way you did'it.
Yes my BT is mapped now. I used speed density, because the blacktop i stock. But if you use some racing camshafts you will need to use Alpha-N, because the vacum/map pressuere will be very weird:-)

I have tried both ways to wire tacho. Both work if set properly on an AE86. The second one works with ordinary coils (with + na - terminals). However I use COPs from 1zz with built-in igniter (so I don't have negative coil terminal). The solution was to hack the dashboard as described and it works fine on my Zenki AE86.
