Think about it for a second. If there is an existing tach wire inside all cars, then why would a person drill a hole in the firewall and hack into the coil wiring to get the exact same signal, not to mention, from the exact same wire? Will both work? Sure, but if there's an easier and better way to do it Why wouldn't you. My way is better because I do wiring for a living. You can do the same thing to put a tach in your spec v. Find out what wire from the ECU is used for the tach, and where this wire is. It's that simple. There's nothing "smart" about it, it's common sense. This isn't rocket science, and I could tell you the info you need to put a tach in your car, but your shithead attitude leaves me thinking that you're used to always having shit handed to you. So you figure it out on your own. You come in here mouthing off to me, questioning my knowledge and skill, when you're the dumbass who can't figure out something as simple as how to wire a tach up in your car.

my friend as a 91 e and doesnt bring a tach... he wants 2 know if he can do the same installing but get a cluster with a tach and install it to work on the cluster? is this possible?

Yes he can but it'd be a lot easier and less work to just install an aftermarket tach. Here's a couple things I wrote up on swapping clusters and all the wiring info.

But hey, what do I know? Right? Like Wonderfuck mentioned, if I'm so smart, I could figure out the magical secret behind wiring a tach to a spec v right? I mean, it's gotta take a genious to figure out how to connect three wires right? Nevermind these articles were instrumental in getting me a well paying job, installing several hundred thousand dollar audio/video distribution and automation systems in multi million dollar homes.

So what wire is it? On the first post it says Blue/w White strip and you are saying it is Blue/w Orange stripe. Wtfzorz?

toolapcfan · Oct 6th, 2005, 07:58 PM

Go back a read what year car it's for. That was for a B15, not a B13.

hey shit brick nice to meet u my name is steve well anyways if you were as smart as u say u are u would know that theres 2 kinds of signal AC and DC(what kind of wiring....cableguy???

or something)aftermarket tachs only use one signal some car tachometers dont use the same signal as the aftermarket tach therefore u would have to purchase an autometer tach adapter...so before u call someone a dumbass you should make sense...also like other ppl said some cars dont have tachs built in so there for they wouldnt have a tach wire and would need to drill a hole and play with an ecu...and by the way dont forget some cars do come with different ecus just incase u didnt kno that but im sure u knew that after all u do wiring for a living

I've yet to encounter a computer controlled car that doesn't have a wire from the coil to the ECU for a tach signal. All B13's B14's and B15's have a wire from the coil to the ECU. They also all have a wire out of the ECU that is intended for connecting to the optional OEM tach. If you know more than I about this, why are you asking me how to hook a tach up to your car? I've helped other people wire a tach in their B13, B14 and B15, you obviously have not, hence why you're spouting off like a retard again. I've forgotten more than you'll ever know smart guy.

ok there you go actin smart about something noones asking about its like talking about how u process cheese,(noone cares) and secondly i never asked u for help i was being sarcastic bc u were actin like an ass to someone else who needed help... and a spec v engine is none of the above listed so b4 u start spouting off like a retard encounter a QR25DE then spit out all that yac yac knowledge u think u have...and im done having this lil internet beef with you bc its pathetic and pointless bc if i were to see you in real life you wouldn't dare try me...

so do like fluffy and turn around.

Man you're sharp! Spec V's are B15's ya stupid shit.

ok so then whats a QR25???your such a dumb fuck you dont kno what your talkin about b15 are 1.8liter cheaper sentras,whereas a spec v has a 2.5 liter so yea y dont u edit what you wrote b4 u embarrass yourself too late quoted already...maybe next time...maybe if you upgrade your vehicle ud kno this...

That'd be the engine found in a spec V ya dumbass. B15 is the chassis code for all Sentras made after 2000. God, I can't believe how retarded you are. Let me take a shot in the dark here. You think the "V" is a roman numeral "5"? You pimpin' your "Spec Five"?

Each time you post, you continue to prove how ignorant you are. You really should just quit because you keep digging your hole deeper.

Actually, I haven't edited most of my posts. Funny you should say that, because you edited yours. And before your stupid as goes talking about "upgrades" I did inital design work on the lower control arm brace for the B13 that Progress makes, as well as provided some of the specs for the coilover suspension they make for the B13. Both are products that didn't exist before I talked with Progress about manufacturing them. Hmmm, let's see, what have you done that could compare to that? Oh yeah, that's right, you aren't even aware that B15 is the chassis code for all 2000+ Sentras.
