Hi guys, i've got my first car.. A 1999 TOYOTA HILUX RZN149R Dual Cab this model car has a 3rz-fe 2.7 ltr petrol engine.
Im quite handy with car electronics i've installed spot lights, relays, head decks, neons, truck lights, show lights, etc etc i just dont kno much about engines lol.. So on the tacho i have its got the illumination wires which i kno how to wire into headlights + and - then its got tacho power + and - to wire into accessories and then its got the green wire, the signal wire, the only wire i dont kno where to wire it into lol.. I've read and tried to do some research, so far according to 1 place it should be a brown wire which will just being lieing behind the dash/speedo becuase the 99 hilux doesnt have a tacho built in so i cant tap off that, according to another website it should be white with black trace coming out of some computer which i dont kno where it would be lol.. I've taken a pic of my engine back, if sum1 could point me in the right direction as to where the wire i'll have to tap into will be it would be greatly greatly appreciated.. I kno that it could come off the negative side of the coils but i dont think the 3rz-fe engine has coils according to a apprentice machanic friend at skool cause he popped my hood and was dumb founded were to hook it up to lol..
Can u hook it up to the distrubuter?? sum1 said thats where u can hook it up but sum1 else told me thats not accurate.. I'm really lost on this one guys.. Sorry for alot of reading but i really want this tacho in so i can teach my gf how to drive manual with the engine revs showing lol..
Cheers guys, Ben..
PS. can u just repost this image with a circle around the where the wire will be in paint or something lol cheers guys,
