[mcinkyt]

But, the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car - and you guys talk funny.

Oh I get it, you're a couple of them foreign types right?!

[Dondeestalabano]

@mcinkyt cant tell if trolling or racist and/or ignorant

(no offence)

[shnunk1]

[xBloodfatherx]

[antwon1528]

[SaVanA95]

damn... I drive a hyundai lol. but i surely won't put any big ass spoilers and tacho gauges as i clearly assume that i will need it for my 50 hp "beast".

[TheHypahl5]

what if your car doesnt have a rev conter to begin with !?

[ahkao86]

Nothing will make a hyundai look cool.

[charlesmatt]

don't ever disrespect.. An Auto Meter Monster Tach w/ Shift light WILL make my Hyundai cool =)

[blueeyesseto]

whats the difference between a Signal wire and normal Automotive wire?

[robinskate123]

haha a tacho will not make youre hyundai cool SO TRUE!!! HAHA

[undertakerfantv]

where do you buy wire splicer tool from

[wolfteam121213]

lmao at the end, a tacho will not make your Hyundai cool.

[freecandy90]

YAY, now i can get to the drive thru window quicker

[liveforbiking]

[uhsdef78]

[sebbienooch]

That's an escort!

[boholhunter29]

can you show the diagram plssss

[Jashomartin]

where can i find a tacho for my 1988 toyota pickup that isnt tacky ricer or any of that. preferably smaller that would fit somewhere in the middle of the dash and now look like a tool owns the car. thanks

[punkjake]

@Jashomartin Pretty much anywhere that sells gauges? You don't need a huge one with a shift light etc, you can get small ones that just have the needle, like a normal tacho, or you can get those monster tach's with the shift lights etc, which no one really needs cos' if you don't know when to change gear on the street, well, enough said.

[Jashomartin]

so what happens if you would set it to 6 cylinder would it read lower rpms?

[sikvids55]

how much was it,were abouts did you get it??????

[MoreLikeCappuccino]

Ugh... Too much work not enough benefit at the end xD

[TPSkinny]

I used to have a Mazda Protege (BG Chassis), the LZR's cousin

[PFieroGT87]

Taco meter. haha.

[cam615615]

@PFieroGT87 mo taco!

[azntranc3951]

...and make sure you're not attaching the tachometer to a pillar that has airbags installed in them (side airbags)

[CivicEp740]

What kind of wire splicer tool is that mate?

[xDOZZAx]

I love the last point that you made about the tacho !

[untouchabledriver87]

@SmashOut200 The Hyundai Genesis is cool straight from the factory. RWD, the base models are turboed, and the high end have a beefy V6. I'll take one if you don't think it's cool. lol

[swirto]

great vid guys :P

[deliveryguyrx]

That was great! A neat, clean install with just the right amount of humor thrown in.

[blopeezy]

ive been watching almost all of your guy's videos and i have one of the biggest problems with my car and i was wondering if you can help or give me a idea of what it could be

[hooptechtank9]

both of you,,i like your style bro,,,hahahaha

[MyJDMIntegra4]

Hahaha my favorite part was "Cop Magnet" haha...like i'm not a magnet already...

[killersushi99]

Now able to monitor all 5,000 rpm's. Awsome!

[NicholasDakotaa]

Will A Tachometer Make My Yugo Cool?

[HardcoreMetal89]

can i put one on my ed falcon

[samasdust]

you do really good work. even though its funny.

[TruthinessDotCom]

I'm looking to find a specific part for my car. I have no idea what it's called or who to ask,so I'll ask you guys. Remember the old Delorean in the 80's? Or on the late 70's Cameros and Trans Ams? On the back window there was this... thing. Looked kind of like half-opened blinds, or a row of mini down the window. They looked awesome,and blocked the sun nicely. Yeah, what were those called?

[Axmankiller]

@TruthinessDotCom window louvers.

[krazy8tattoos]

ive got a sunpro afr gauge and after installing it it stayed at lean didnt sway then i put 2 new O2 sensors in and now instead of 1 main led lit it goes up to 2 ive had it in the orange range barely lit never reaches ideal mixture nor does it sway when throttle is peaked any suggestions as to why it stays to lean? i have a ford zx2

[mexaoctavio]

ouwww it aint pussy magnets =P

[unicorn3001]

pleasee mightycarmod  present topgear australia.

[strangerrapnz]

dose anyone know were i can find a wireing diagram for a 1990 Ford EA fairmont???

[dangerdakota]

to the mighty mod crew... Hi guys i am getting ready to add a tachometer in my civic cause it dosnt have a stock one and since i tow dirtbikes its a good idea.

So i had a few questions for you...

1. For the 12v power can a share the power wire for my cd player?

2. For the 12v accory wire, could i spice into my sub remote wire?

Thanks guys and just cause am "add" what type of car is this a ford escort?

[yourmother2161]

@dangerdakota hey dude, before you do anything.

if you go to a wrecker and find a gauge cluster WITH an rpm.

it fits in with out any mods and the signal is already running.

worked for me ! thought i'd let you in.

this should be good for any civic made before 2000

[jarrus464]

I think you guys should do some mods on turbo diesels as well, but then again though I guess that they aren't popular in AUS

[TaylorNike12]

hahahaha - 'it's illegal and we'll probably get our window smashed.'

[markowina]

why is it illegal???!

[Baird56]

@markowina because it blocks your view apparently, tbh having a 5" one should be illegal anyway, smaller ones are ok

[hondasilvia]

thanks. real helpful

[MasterTenku]

Good tip for wiring through the firewall that I discovered after hours of swearing profusely and throwing things: Push a thin glowstick through the hole engine bay side, and then look for the light under dash

[cubanoooooooo]

how can i do it for a scion

[83tonymontana83]

haha illegal and we're gonna get our window smashed XD

[SNERK08]

noooo u didnt put a tacho in a stock laser did u OMG :(

[rocknazn]

i dont have a tachometer that came with my car, is it illegal to not have one?

[XboxReleases]

Thumbs up if the intro was too long

[furmaster212]

oh lol i laughd my ass off at "if youre cars not quick like ours the tack lets you know exactly how fast youre not going" XD

[RidgeRunner88]

Nice job on install, but that looks gay.

[srbija08]

lol, u canr have nice things because of thiefs.

[WeAreTheRebellion]

hi im installing a tacho on my 1988 toyota corolla. and it doesnt have a ignition coil. So where would a tach wire be?

thanks

[CptNeeples]

@WeAreTheRebellion go to where ur spark plugs are on top of the motor and look where the plug wires go then mine was the blue wire hope it helps ill send u a vid tmr to help ya

[WeAreTheRebellion]

@CptNeeples cool thanks

[CptNeeples]

can u help me not sure my tacho is reading the right RPM it must be set to two cylinder mode to read close to what i think is right but the prob might be because its a neon lol

[killindustries]

thanks man big help

[DJALIENPHANTOM]

its actually real easy they just make it seem so complicated.

[WeAreTheRebellion]

i dont have a rev counter in my car. So would there still be a rev wire?

[KScharba]

Is that the TRDLZR?

[mightycarmods]

@KScharba Sure is - before it was famous!

[theRDRman]

@mightycarmods hells yeah

[1974UTuber]

Hey Guys great Vid both funny and informative. Heres a question. I am installing a custom dash in an old Holden Ute and I want to use a Nissan Gauge Cluster that has all the Gauges built in including a Tacho. Since this set came out of a late model Skyline the Tacho obviously wont be set up for a 253 V8. Is there any way to mod the Tacho so it will work with my 253? The speedo ratios are exactly the same as the original car cause I got technical & used a drill to measure both speedos.

[NASTYTHEBOY]

and yeah, theur theif magnets, someone tried to steel my oil pressure gauge thinking it wasnt connected to anything x/

[NASTYTHEBOY]

haha, i love how people add tachs to cars that already have them :p

but i just got an old mercury :( its my first car that has no tach, should be simple thoug, it has a distributor =]

[2REINZS]

hey guys

just wondering did the golf mk4 u just modded up allready have a turbo installed from the factory?

[521scotty125]

how do you install a shift light? as a stand alone unit

[myculabig]

lol at the last keep in mind XD

[kreigsmann]

i love how ugly those cars are

only in england would people drive those things

[starguard]

They are thief magnets

They are Cop Magnets

They do not make your Hyundai cool

:ROFL: :D

[mikewashere01]

[Wolfencastle]

How do i Install a Tacho Gauge on a ford ka 2

[sakkiejack]

i want to know how to find the rpm signal wire in my subaru B4

[PirloXXX]

indeed the tach is thief magnet: mine was stolen last monday :(

[AMJABAS]

haha i swear to god thats a ford laser hes putting that tacho on

[c3058872]

lol A tacho will not make your car cool

[therealracer135]

Love to know where you can get one of those automatic wire strippers

[GoldenFly]

@therealracer135 ...uh.. pretty much any shop that sells electrical components like resistors, capacitors, ICs, LEDs, diodes or the like will sell them.

[masterkronixster]

i cannot find the red and green wire from the distributor

i have a nissan cefiro

rb20de

1991

[therealracer135]

@masterkronixster

wire you're looking for should be coming from coil, not distributor.

have you got a workshop manual? look in a workshop manual at the wiring diagrams and look for the instrument cluster, should be a wire for tacho somewhere.

Most cars are pre-equipped with the wiring for a tacho behind the instrument cluster (even if your model was never equipped with one), just have to get a wiring diagram and find out which ones.

[smpmofos]

Winn im you 33 333 view

[6computer9]

very nice

[KulinaryKutZ]

"a tacho will not make your Hyundai cool" hahah the best part of the video!

thanks guys!:)

[scrow619]

@KulinaryKutZ thats exactly what i thought. ;}

[brendo939]

@KulinaryKutZ It made my Hyundai cool! ;D

[itscody317]

hey i have a 98 eclipse and would i find the rpm wire going to the transmission or the distributor cap?

[brumby92]

hi! found the same tacho on ebay. this one good?

[ganymedeIV4]

lol bottom left pin on the ODB-II spits out your tachometer.

right off the coil pack also works.

Toyota Echo Manual's didn't include a tachometer (thanks toyota)

[ganymedeIV4]

oh pull your light from your dashboard clock...works, easy every time.

[poojacrew]

@ganymedeIV4

an echo? lol

[ganymedeIV4]

hah not to be like fast or cool or anything.

Car didn't have a tachometer at all.

yea the echo is about as fast as a homeless horse on crack, but if you drive them right its easy to get 44-49mpg with them little bastards.

[poojacrew]

@ganymedeIV4

an echos like a car u barely have to spend money on

[cruz4me]

thats a good good replay thankz

[cruz4me]

but if ur car has a taco gauge why would you add thanks

[alexjalaff]

@cruz4me so you know how many more tacos you have left to eat

[lukedjf]

hahahhaa i got the exact same tacho in my hilux and i put in my slef it was easy as it took me about 45min

[fidgetingfinch]

Pretty good vid on how to potentially fuck up your car horribly, lol. I certainly wouldn't do this myself. I'd leave it to the pros.

[theusualnumbers]

@ Fidgetingfinch - um how does a tacho "potentially fuck up your car horribly"? Please do tell me and the rest of the confused youtube community?

All they did was splice in a wire!?? Did I miss something here?

And leave it to the pros? You obviously haven't seen many mighty mods videos. They are the pros!

[fidgetingfinch]

It could potentially fuck up your car seriously if you didn't know what you are doing. Electronics are a bad thing to mess around with if you don't have a whole lot of know how. Obviously the guys from mightycarmods know what they are doing, but I wouldn't chance making a mistake by doing this myself. Also, new cars are more complex these days than a Pulsar. It would be a nightmare to put a tach on a Nissan GTR without having a strong electronics background.

[theusualnumbers]

The only way of learning is having a go yourself. The "new" cars you speak of that are more complex than a Pulsar" (even though its a Ford Laser) such as the GTR you mention come with a tacho anyway. I mean I see your point of it being a nightmare on some cars but these guys focus on small cars and if people don't think are confident enough to have a go then they can pay someone else. But certainly WILL NOT fuck up your car by splicing in ONE wire.

[ChuckMoritz]

its just some rubbish car so who cares?

[thatoneguy1020]

its nothing hard dude...

so longs you can find power and ground

if you leave it to the pros you be paying their salary

haha

[midomizo89]

thanxx for that vedio so much

[LostInMadness220]

What good multimeter for rpms do you recommend? And do some scanners have an adapter just to check rpms on a vehicle, just like the multimeter's leads?

[L0N3LY18]

hey i have a 08 kia spectra n i hav da same tach. i kno everything except da green wire...... i already tried the ignition coil bt didnt work n im lookin 4 my distributor i cnt find it............ pls help.... thx

[blackneseshuffler]

hey, i just installed a tacho, exactly same as this, all wires are connected, it turns on, lights show, but when i turn the car on and rev it high the needle jumps around and i cant see what revs im on, it also jumps a little, very lttle, when idleing. How can i fix this? :)

[RockYourFaceOff7764]

the magnets in your dizzy need to be replaced.

[XxxXVick]

the wire is probably loose =] try sotering or goto a shop and they will probably tell you for free...so dont sauter it before you know, haha

[Drifter0guy]

lol god i hate ford lasers. i had the same model, with the same gauge. AND IT LOOKED GAY lol nice job boys

[MoParguytilidie]

whoa wait im confused, ive got an 87 GN which never came with a tacho, im not inistalling a monster one its just a small one but i got no clue where to start with this thing! help!

[GlowMouse09]

Anyone need exact modification information on Tacho guages.

Tacho cannot sit on the dash, Wanna bet? They can sit over as far to the side. They cannot side more than 15% from the side pillar and the radius of a tacho must be less than 3" in diameter.

Hope that helps guys.

[FoGzor]

exact the same Tacho I got in my car :) Keep up the good work!

[frosticle808911]

"a tacho will not make your Hyundai cool" lmao!

[directingmumble]

Yea i shit myself laughing when i saw that hahahahahahahahaha !

[XxX1rW1nXxX]

where is the rpm signal wire on a mx6

[openedeyedbeast123]

how much is a Tacho Gauge

[buhdanugget1]

Thnx guys tim ere big fan again another nice vid

[jmartinez405]

what is obstructed View????

[jmic0923]

obstructed view means it's in your way and stops you from seeing the road... Yeah i know it's ridiculous.

[chevyman5436]

when something is in the way of your view of the road, my bro once got a ticket for having an air freshener on his car, it wasn't his air freshener because they guy he bought the car from put it on and no one ever took it off, what a bunch of bull crap

[xXspike69Xx]

it says it wont make ur hyudai cool but will it make a daewoo cool ?

[rotorg33k]

hahahahah.. it will make the daewoo look cool dude!! :)

[ravervampire]

how is it illegal?

[jmic0923]

Cops call it "obstructing your view" even though it really doesn't obstruct your view. Filthy pigs.

[peterkaay]

is there a way to test i got the right rev wire? please help (i havnt bought a tacho yet but i want to and i wanna make sure i can install it) i can do everything except for finding the rev wire, ive looked but theres alot of wires and idk wat is what xD

[mightycarmods]

If in doubt check your wiring diagram. If you can't work it out, do the whole install then pay an auto electrician to do the rev wire for you.

[ELZAVALITO30]

jhhajha i loved the last tip...

'' a tacho will not make ur hyundai cool ''

:D :D :D

[lodeokid1]

your tacho will not make your rice burner cool!!!!!!!! LOL

[dominicpatto]

the car is a ford laser kh gli 5 door

[Propertyexit]

This video is pretty much them installing the Taco, and not really teaching others how to do it. They need more of the "how to" and to slow down a bit as well.

[TheStreetrace]

Looks f**king great , got one in my car but i didnt fit it myself got the local mechanics to fit it for £30 :D

love to race

race to love

[petchi080]

love to race

race to love

that probably took you hours to think of, yet it still sucks
