Heath, The 1200 Coupe has a pulse tacho just the same as a 1600SSS and from my experience with FJ's you don't always have to connect this sort of tacho to the EMS ignition control wire. Having said that I've never had the opportunity to look at a CA18 Turbo up close to know much about how the electrics work. Still, you should be able to use the ignition wiring from the EMS to the CA18 coil pack to trigger the tacho. Even if you have had to wire in completely new ignition wiring, then my instructions on how to wire in an impulse tacho on a 1600 should still work. Complications arise if the engine has a multi-coil setup, on these you have to know if all of the coils fire together or individually (usually from a CAS input). If the CA18 is wired like this then you have to identify the wire that triggers the ignitor module as it will be the only wire that pulses for every cylinder.
Andrew, if you're reading can you add anything to this that's particular to the CA18. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Cleary Signs Sent: Tuesday, 17 September 2002 1:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Taco Question Terry want's the chances of helping me with my 1200 coupe tacho to my CA18 comp? thanks Heath ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 9:11 PM Subject: RE: Taco Question > James, > > The stock 1600 SSS tacho should just about work with any ECU that uses a > single coil - it gets a bit tricky with multi's. > > What are the colours of the wiring out the back of yours? and we'll go from > there. > > regards > Terry > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Swann, James > Sent: Monday, 16 September 2002 8:40 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Taco Question > > > **************************************************************** > IMPORTANT > > The information transmitted is for the use of the intended recipient only > and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged material.
