Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 3 Member No.: 606 Joined: Aug 5th 2003 Location: Update Profile | 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 ~Rob |

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. |

Man that tach is ugly!..that thing looks small like a boost gauge, and basic looking. A tach should be highly visable, that is why most sports cars have it directly in the middle instead of the speedo, and just as large. That one in intial D isnt even cleanly installed in Takumis ride! No wonder your having a hard time finding it, it is probably discountiued due to poor sales. | ||

Capt. kilt flipper Group: Members Posts: 464 Member No.: 416 Joined: May 12th 2003 Location: Ontario, Canada | .. 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.. |

LMAO... that's priceless man... priceless... but there is atleast one Honda 4 banger that's puts down some serious torque numbers... the H22a... friend of mine has one in his Civic coupe... fully built 12.1:1 compression, forged internals, Skunk2 valvetrain, jdm tranny wit lsd, msd wit launch control, v-afc, and drag radials... tho it doesn't really turn all that well, it's fast as a mfer... lays down 12sec times easy... has yet to be dynoed tho | ||

Capt. kilt flipper Group: Members Posts: 464 Member No.: 416 Joined: May 12th 2003 Location: Ontario, Canada | 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.. ) |

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 2 Member No.: 35,739 Joined: Jun 11th 2010 Location: Update Profile | 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. |
