Hi,
Yea I have RD2 tib and I was wondering where is the ECU located and how do I get to it?
I installing them Big 4" tach i know everyone hates so much but this is my first project car and i jus want to do as much as I can so please can someone help me out with tach installations an location of the ECU since there is no distributor cap an Im not sure if i can tap into my ignition coil if i can then can someone show me step by step thanks again people.

 

...why a 4" tach
Stock tach not working good enough?

..

anyway, try doing a search. it's been talked about several times.

i'll be nice and tell you though, it is underneath the driver's side crash panel, above the clutch pedal to the left (you'll have to lie down and stick your head under there with a flash light to see it), it's a PITA to get to, and i think anyone who's ever taken it out has broken the little bracket, lol.

and good luck with the ricer tach.

Good looking out

 

Hey man, try not to quote the post above yours. Use the ADD REPLY button instead of the " REPLY button.

I suggest to remove your bottom crash panel before pursuing the ECU. It makes it slightly easier to get at. and isn't much more work.

If you have access to ratchet wrenches, I suggest using them. Good luck.

 

thanks alot i found my ECU an yea its a punk to get to i think im goin to remove the underdash panel but yea um anyone now witch pin is witch... im looking for 47 or 16 but is there anyway to find out witch pin is witch thanks again everyone

 

Its a real b!tch to get to. Thats one thing I never want to change again. Ever.

 

dont go to the ecu, you can get the tach signal off the wire running to the stock gauges. you will have to take off the dash, but it is seriously easier than trying to get the ecu harness off. when you pop out the cluster, its the harness on the right. pin number 4 on the harness, and it should be a white wire.

i too must frown upon the installation of the gigantotach though. wink1.gif

 

thanks i give it shot tommorrow when there is some sun light hahah thanks everyone i really appreciate this ive been trying to do this for over a month an no one could help me out.

Q:Uhh Whats the easiest way to take out my dash??

 

check the diy section in the stickied LISTING, there should be a diy on gauges that will show you how to disassemble your dash.

 

I looked theres nothing really there describing how to take off the dash it jus goes into detail with gauge cluster so im not sure what to do anymore
