Tach Adapter

[ralphy1798]

I am hooking up my wideband to log RPMs. I think i might need a tach adapter, i am going to try it without, but if it doesnt work, i am going to buy a tach adapter...

Where can i get a tach adapter?

Can i buy it at napa, autozone or Napa?

Where can i get them online?

Are they specific for the vehicle?

Thanks in advance!

what wideband did you opt for anyways? I have the wide band commander, and all I needed was some t taps on coil #26 in the pcm. there's a few others like 104 COP that you can tap into.. save yourself some money and do it that way if you can.

you need the ford racing tach adapter. you can buy it online for $55 plus shipping I believe. I forget the website though.

I installed a Dynojet Wideband Commander and got a tach signal off of the AET test lead. I didn't need a tach adapter.

How do you guys ground these things?

I am thinking i am going to need to move the ground from the cigarette lighter closer to the PCM to get it to work. I havent tried anything yet though...

I have the innovatemotorsports LM-1.

O when i sent you the PCM pin guide I thought you were installing hte DynoJet one. Innvoate sells a rpm pick-up kit dont they? IF not I go the ford racing ruote mentioned above.

I bought the RPM converter from innovate motorsports and plan to simply tap a coil wire and plug it in and calibrate it. Does this unit called the "rpm converter" do the same thing as a tach adapter does? I think you need a tach adapter to massage (amplify and filter) the signal before it goes into the rpm converter. All the rpm converter does is convert a frequency to a steady DC voltage for the LM-1 to log.

Maybe i am off here and the rpm converter IS the tach adapter for my application!!! :read:

I will just try it this weekend, thats the best way!

Confusing :fm:
