Does anybody have any suggestions regarding things I can do to wire up an aftermarket tach. Or, do I have to just buy a 6 cylinder dash pod. Any help would be much appreciated.

It is just doubling the revs on the 4cyl cluster. I guess I will have to get the 6 cyl cluster and thats it. | | | 01-06-2006, 07:30 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Walnut Creek, CA Posts: 642 | __________________ '95 330ti CS w/sr delete, S50USB30, cams, 24# inj, Conforti SW, Euro HFM, Samco Silicone Intake Boot, BBTB, Euro Oil Cooler, JTD CAI Duct, RE DMS exhaust, RE Tranny mounts, CF Valve Cover, LTW flywheel/Kevlar sprung hub clutch, RE SSK, 3.46 Finned LSD (M6) , M3 tranny, Brembos, RE Wheel Studs, SS brake/clutch lines, CF interior, Rear Headrest retrofit, Tilt Steering retrofit, 13.5 lb DynaBatt in rear, LED interior/footwell lights, ZKW HID, Headlight Aim Control, Rear fog light w/cluster indicator, CF 3 Aux gauge pod, BMW Traffic Pro/Alpine MP3-CD Changer, Staggered LTW wheels, '95 M3 steering rack, VIS CF Hood, M3 LTW Strut Bar, TCK SA coilovers, Red LTW Motorsport Seatbelts, OEM Fire Extinguisher, Z8 Starter button, Auto dim rear view mirror w/ Homelink/Compass, PDC, Rear Sun Shade, Euro Gauge Cluster w/oil temp/shift light , Headlight Washers, "Motorsport" Door Handles, CF Grills, French ZKW Fogs, Euro dash bins, Power Lumbar Support is next, Coming e39 M5 interior light, Bimmer Magazine 8/2007 | | | 01-07-2006, 05:00 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Nebraska Posts: 136 | I think the BMW TIS has steps on how to calibrate the the TI cluster to work with a 6 cyl engine. I will see if I can find them later today. | | | 01-09-2006, 03:13 PM | #8 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!

Hopefully, the information you get will 'fill in the blanks'... | | | 01-02-2011, 02:40 AM | #9 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Virginia Posts: 2 | i wanna put an aftermarket tach on my ti, but where do i wire it to the ecu? | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
