fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - Chris_90 - 14-10-2013
So after the dyno other day wanna get a rev gauge on my 106. Hopefully you guys can help me out abit.
Were Will it pick up the reading for the gauge? Will my car have the wireing there?
Its worth mentioning that my car uses a Speedo cable it's not electrical!
Any help or tips welcome

er, fit a 106 dial set that has a rev counter??
and before you shout your retort.. yes they do exist
and yes you can wire into alternator but you will need a lazer techy thing to calibrate it
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - Chris_90 - 14-10-2013
I've been trying to research this, some are saying off alternator, some say of the flywheel/crank sensor it's doing my head in
Would have though some one would have had fitted a rev gauge and wrote about it on the net.
@piggy I will struggle to find clocks with a Speedo cable And rev gauge, but will look tho.

Yes they exist piggy but simply plugging one in doesn't make it work as that's what someone's done in mine lol

He says the orange plug, witch is the crank sensor (but its grey plug on mine

Welcome to my world! Been trying figure it out for my 205 1.9 for bloody ages!
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - samass - 15-10-2013
just get one that will work off the 'w' terminal of your alternator. best to check if it has an exposed 'w' terminal tho lol
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - Piggy - 15-10-2013
the ones off alternator will work fine...but as said...they need calibrating
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - silverzx - 15-10-2013
I want an OEM counter, the STDT cluster also has water temp!

Surely you just can buy an aftermarket one and just wire it to what ever sensor the 306 uses to pick up the rpms from?

Will have to look at that then. thanks

Just bought an aftermarket one now so will see if i can get that to work. Hope i can
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - silverzx - 15-10-2013
Yeah you can wire it up to the alternator but why have a "poo" aftermarket rev counter when you can stay OEM!
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - Arron - 15-10-2013
Id stay oem
But it seems a farce so I wouldnt bother
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - Chris_90 - 15-10-2013
I've ordered an aftermarket one now so see how I get on with it, it's not a massive one tho just 52mm gauge
RE: fitting a rev gauge to my 106 nad - Arron - 15-10-2013
Ah yea actually....I imagined one of them huge halford jobbies

yer I thought people might think I had a 6inch one with a shift light lol Just a suitable 2inch one even tho it goes to 8,000rpm think a gov mod may be in order
