Question on RPM meter

[MrBinn]

I am currently driving a satria 1.3 GLI. If I want to install an aftermarket RPM meter, do I have to get the signal from the ECU? Also, if I unplug the wiring to the ECU, will that mess up the programme in the ECU? Please advise. Thank you.

not sure about your RPM meter, but my T/Timer taps the RPM signal from the ECU wiring via vampire-tap connection.

very neat and no need to cut or remove the ECU wiring.

Try to use wira or lancer with rpm meter. Just replace the meter plug n play a new one.It is much easier.U can get the meter about RM150.00 only

tap it from ur alternator.... i've done that before and there's no problem with it. Locate ur alternator and look for the socket, unplug it... there's about 4 terminal if im not wrong. One of them is ur rpm wire...

Found the ECU but looks too complicated to touch. Better tap of from the alternator then. Thanks for the advise.

There is a ready wire for you RPM meter behind your meter console. you need to identify it and tap it. If Im not mistaken its a white color one. Thats how I had my RPM meter fitted.

If your car is carburator, If im not mistaken, you need to tap from your distributer.
