Hi guys as most will know i did a rvr engine swap into my nimbus.
Im running a motec M4 ecu but with stock coil pack and ignighter. Now i can locate the tacho wire from the dash and the tacho wire from the ignighter, how do i get my tacho to work?
Now before you say just join the 2 well ive done that but it still wont work.
Ive heard of inline resistors wlto get these to work with the 2 cables but im not sure what happens when the 2 cable met at the stock ecu.
Any help would be great fellas.

hmm in gsr/evo the wire from the ignitor goes to both ecu and tach directly it splits somewhere in the loom. when i went to ls1 coils i simply cut out the ignitor used two of the original triggers wire 2 new ones used existing power and earth and left the (unused wires un-terminated but Sheided)
changed a setting in the ecu so the ecu sent out a tach signal and was done. perhaps instead of using signa; from the ignitor send the signal from the ecu. (the ecu should use the cam and crank sensors to determine rpm)
NOTE: this was a haltech ps1000

What is the nimbus tacho vs rvr tacho difference?
While doing my auto conversion I found that I couldn't use a galant se tacho which had a 6500rpm redline with the AMG ignitor. Unsure why....
What ecu are you Running?

Thanks Jamie...
If you have a spare output, you can use the motec m4 to output an tacho signal to your tacho. For test purposes. This way you can define a few settings to troubleshoot. If the output is free, make it permanent.
But I know m4s are very limited in output volume. Ideally you do want the ignition module to output tacho to enable you to save that m4 output for another use.

what was the original ignition system for the Nimbus? Dizzy or coil packs?
