Trying to get rev counter working from ignitor

On fd i have no stock ecu and no extra outputs on ecu
So stuck with no revcounter was hoping some 1 can give me some ideas on making it work

I have wiring diagrams i no what wires to use juat dont want to start connecting it as im unsure if i need to use diods or resistors

If you specify to what exactly your using and what those 2 outputs are being used for may be helpfull

What standalone are you running / other engine management mods.

M2r output 1 is thermo fan
And output 2 will be boost control or idle control

I dont want to use ecu for tach ive heard peope use a pull up resistor from ignitor and attach it straight to tach
Just want to no if any 1 here has done it

Carlos Iglesias did something like you're describing, but also encountered misfires due to a bad wiring connection related to the igniter and tachometer. I'd advise to be very careful if you're planning to try this, and build in a way that would be very easy to remove your wiring additions in case you run into problems.
