Tachometer output variables

Post by MaxxAction »

Hey all...

just curious if there is a way to change the pulses per revolution output from the MS3? I just finished installing an Ls1 into my 300zx and the tach works, but it is fast because it was made to read 3 pulses per rev, and the box for the Ls is putting out 4. Thanks.

as far as im aware you are stuck there you could run it at normal or half speed only so will still be incorrect, a few times people have suggested this to be added to the f/w but it is meant to be a real pita to do so never made it.

More specifically, changing the tach speed in that way will require a more complicated implementation of an angle clock.

I found a solution....

I talked to a friend of mine who did an LS conversion into a 240 SX and he told me about this device that he used to make his tach read correctly.
