Monster Tacho Not Working

[black sky]

Hi people

please don't flame me for having a monster tacho but i got it cheap and my in dash tacho isn't reading right because i got an rb20 in my 180sx.Ive got a type r Tacho off ebay and i've tried to splice it into the standard ecu, the Microtech comp and the tacho wire behind my dash and from the wire of my apexi AVC-R but it doesnt even move the tacho. however when i put it on the negative wire on one of my coil packs it moves but is alot lower than the real rpm. some one help me get the bloody thing working. please.

like i said i've got the typr R taco's does any one else have one tof these and can you let me know what you did to get it working??

Cheers anthony

I am also pretty interested in this, i've also got an rb20 in a s13 - tacho doesn't work at all though

Have been considering getting a cheapo ebay monster tacho, but have been hesitant as i've heard some stuff about some not working, something to do with the coil packs or what not?

Anyone have any more info on these

I'm guessing you're already checked but just make sure you're not using a 4 cylinder monster tacho on a 6 cylinder. My brother put the one he had for his Celica onto his R32 GTS-t and has the same problem with it reading under

I thought it could be that but i made sure that the setting was on 6 cylinder it's got a swich at the back which changes it from 4 to 6 to 8 cylinder. Thanks for the reply.
