Monster tacho

[JET-33]

i've just had a monster tacho with shift light installed in my 33 and the revs on the monster are about 100-200 below that of the standard tacho...

is this because the standard one is wrong, the monster is wrong or because one of the wires is too long or somethin, because i thought that the exact same signal would b sent from both tachos so i dont know why/how they can b different

and i did snip the brown wire, or which ever one it says to for a 6 cyclinder...

any help????

I am keen to find out this also... I have the same problem with my original tacho as it reads lower than my apexi RSM? anyone know? where can i tune this up?

Does it have any sort of calibration adjustment?

Did you try reading the instruction manual?

(oh wait, what am I saying.. guys don't read instructions:p )

interesting, about 8 replies and no one has a useful fkn thing to say :lol:

i got the tacho cos i wanted it, u got a problem with that..deal with it! i read the manual, calibration involves cuttin 1 wire to suit a 6 cylinder, and its done right cos it would b way off if done wrong, not 100-200rpm....any more brilliant comments/questions?

hehehehe jet!

my s-afc is a few rpm off from my tach also, the safc gets the signal from the ecu and is digital, so i am assuming its more accurate than the tach
