I have been trying to find the same tach that Takumi gets for his fully built motor. I know someone must know who makes it. It is the one with the 13,000rpm gauge if someone can tell me what company makes it and if possibly where i can get it that would totally make my summer. I have been trying to find one for a long time. thanks

?? it's not a brand . it's just a tach, most high end companies make a tahc that will hit 12K and some go to 15K.. auto meter makes 4 or 5 that hit 11K.. if your making more rpm then that , then you can afford a 15K tach that's going to cost easily $600 us.. if you just want it for looks.. well don't be a tard.

[karasac]

i seriously hope u want it cuz ur car can rev beyond what the stock tach says, not just cuz its in inital d

[Toshi]

thats is agreed

[emag_dnim13]

that would be halarious he had the tak that goes to 15k and the needle would only touch the first third

The thing is i have seen that exact tach in a picture before and i think it looks bad ass and don't worry it would be for a jdm b18c integra Type R motor that can rev past 9,000rpm the stock tach is off and it maxes out. I know that tach exists out there. I like it because it is small and low key and would actually work really well with the type R engine.

yeahi believe it does unless you have a mugen n1 sports computer which raises it to 9700rpm

[TRD-hachi-roku]

heh....changed rev limiter............

[1slowsupra]

You can have a engine that revs to 20grand, but if you have no power in that high RPM range there is no use for a raised rev limiter.

[Toshi]

this is tru but the b18 is much better with the mugen ecu...raise limiter and lowered vtec change over to like 5k very nice ecu and the b18 has enough pwer to do that

[allmotorb18b1]

So anyone know who makes that tach?

[1slowsupra]

[Toshi]

just get another one doesnt need to be takumis if its just for looks

[Vash Stampede]

.. that tach style is not made anymore.. you can try and find them used on japaneese ebay or at a japaneese swap meet advertized in option mags.. but other then that.. those tachs were killed off YEARS ago.. YEARS! the closest you'll get is an autometer, that's it.


and your JDM B18C (5) is still gutless, even at 9000.. my shoelaces require more torque then B18's put out..

[TRD-hachi-roku]

LOLZ!!!!!

[Toshi]

this is tru b18c5 have no torque and like 175hp at wheels weak sauce!! id rather sell my teg and get a 240 like i am doing as we speak!

[Vash Stampede]

good man! your seeing the light!! thier are very few FWD cars made that are worth much now that most of the good RWD cars from the early 90's are going for under $3000

[Toshi]

yeah but the thing is ive wanted a 240 for so long nows its only 2600 american and my car runs for 5,100 so ill get money back and a kick ass car...sr swap maybe and a sil front klip ill have a bonefied sil80

H22 is a better engine for sure.. but if you compare it to square geometry engines, like say the zetec, it's still lacking hard in the torque range.. the max torque on all honda engines is very peaky, but hp is high, where as the zetec and others with square geometry may not have as high a peak tq, thiers is close but you get 100% tq from 2300 to 7500. that helps the zx2, the one time escort named car, beat up on GSR's and SIR civics that are $10K more.. Civics are good starter cars, easy to buy, use, and rebuild, ( hell I can get DOHC ZC's for $400 can. ).. but most guys wil move on to FR cars, we are doing two sr20 drops this fall with more to come over the winter and spring.. ( we may even do a RB26 into a S14.. )

The tach you are looking for a Smiths Tachometer with a 1-12K Range. It is a motorcycle tach, so you might have trouble installing it. Heres the link: http://www.roadandrace.com.au/parts/instru...meter_1-12k.htm
Good Luck.
