You can tap into a line that runs into the ECU, if you have the service manual it will tell you what line. I believe the ECU is on the right side of the passanger footwell, correct me if i'm wrong folks

Another riced FD?
Did you you make sure the new tach is big enough? If it isn't 5", you are just posing.
As it turns out, Ricers don't usually go into the big tachs. Domestic guys do...

the 5" tach, no matter how cheap you got it, is RICEY. The stock tach is used in all the fastest FDs here and in Japan. Lose the tach, eBay that SOB. Don't ruin your FD.

Once again, if you people aren't going to help, don't post. It's a waste of time and space.

Holy crap! The animosity on this forum is staggering sometimes!
I've never heard about any problems with the stock tach. What have you heard? Doesn't the stock tach go up to 10K (can't remember...)?

the ecu reads the crank angle sensor and signals the tach. I think you can tap in to the Diagnosis Connector to hook up your tach. I do not know the terminal position ,sorry
