HILUX SFA-Cluster Problem
Quick question to the experts on the site, Is it possibple to match the Hilux SFA rev counter to the Lexus V8? or do I need to go aftermarket, i really don't want to put one of those ugly POD things on my dash, so either it works or I just don't have a rev counter......any info would be greatly appreciated!! :)

AFAIK you can use the negative from one of the coils...

Re: HILUX SFA-Cluster Problem
As jy net van een coil af werk gaan die rev-counter ook net een coil wys, jy sal moet diodes insit en n draad trek van elke coil af na n central point en van daaraf n draad na die rev-counter toe. Het dit gedien op die 7M's maar nog nie op n V8 nie. Jy sal ook die rev-counter moet calibrate vir die V8.Toybox wrote:AFAIK you can use the negative from one of the coils...

Re: HILUX SFA-Cluster Problem
Now this is where I'm stoopid! .... If you have a V8 running off dual coils and you take the rev counter off one coil, you're still running the rev counter off the pulse of 4 cylinders for the same revs. It should work fine, no?
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
