Need help from any of the sifu out there... need to know wheter an rsm meter can be installed on carb car?
 
not too sure about that but carb car usually does not have an ECU so not too sure where you can tap the wire too
 
you can only use the volt meter. my friend use the rsm in his charade aura g100. only the volt meter reading was on coz no ecu ma...
 
only volt ha??? how about the rpm and speed? i thought only the other sensor like balancing cant use..if like that sure rugi if buy that for carb...so sad...wanted to buy that :(
 
so that mean for carb car still can use the rsm but only volt and rpm can be used..
thinking of buying an rsm
 
wahh so rich meh u ??? rpm n volt can buy autogauge meter mah..more cheap than rsm wut..... :) :)
 
just thinking only... because come to think about it again.. it's better for me to buy

5" rpm meter it'll cost me lesser than rsm
 
RSM can be installed on carbed cars. No ECU does not mean it is a dead end.

BUT in order for the Speedo to work, the gearbox must be the type that send electronic signal - or most commonly known as Speed Pulse Signal. So if you can confirm that your gearbox is the one that emits Speed Pulse (to the Speedo Console), then u can tap RSM Speed wire into it. If your gearbox is pure mechanical type, sorry speed option will not be usable at all.

For RPM, connect the RSM Ignition Signal wire to the Ignition Coil directly, usually it is the -VE part of it. This should be very easy.

Hope this helps

do you know where i can get the type that pick-up rpm signal from alternator
 
Never heard that you can get RPM reading from Alternator, RPM is always Ignition Signal Pulse from Ignitor Coil.
