Like most auto Cuore mine doesn’t have a RPM Gauge, OEM-Auto tachs are rare here (didn’t find any on the German net). Are there any aftermarket gauges that people have installed?
speco make a 3 cylinder tacho that people have used also I think i’s glow shift that make one that is switchable to 3 cylinder.
Easiest way to have a rpm gauges is to use the stock cluster. You normaly get them around 40€ at Kleinanzeigen.
Mines automatic though. That’s the problem. Auto RPM gauges are quite rare
There’s actually no difference between manual and automatic clusters, the manual ones are just missing the globe’s and have a blocking off plate where the lights are.
Buy a manual one and transfer your current automatic light plate and globes over to the tachometer cluster. I’ve done it many times before
Thanks didn’t know it’s that easy, do I need to look out for some things specifically? Can I use a facelift (EJ-VE) Cluster?
Thought I’d add to this thread as i am looking to do the same thing to an auto ( just don’t care about having dash lights for it) you can install gauges out of other models of daihatsu as well can’t you?
@ewdwan you can but have to make sure it’s for the right amonut of cylinders, 4cyl don’t work properly on 3 cyl and vice versa. Basically a matter of finding out what wires do what on both gauge and loom then matching them
I’m guessing the 4 cylinder gauges would show an incorrect rpm reading to a 3 cylinder gauge due to the amount of times the spark is fired per rpm
i think so, not 100%sure though
Ordered a Tach gauge. Can I hit you up when doing the swap if I need some help?
Yeah just message me here or on Facebook, just search for Woodwork Garage
