WTB: Tach adapter for BEAMS swap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #85388 12 posts Started by ricochet1490
As the title says. Need a tach adapter for the race car.
Dakota digital
MSD ignition etc.

I know it's a long shot but ya never know
Go with the MSD if you can. It's a bit noisy but that's what you have a radio for. The Dakota Digital is annoyingly nervous and my needle is always twitching.

No radio in racecar... just the wonderful sound of open pipes blasting wonderful BEAMS audio off the outside wall smile.gif
I've been really pleased with the BEAMS tach + 3rd gen UK face on it. It really is just "plug and play." I haven't looked for a UK one on ebay, but there's been a few guys selling off their BEAMS tachs in the past year if I remember correctly! It might be a little bit more expensive, but you won't have the wiring issues and it'll match!

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
i was hoping to score an adapter for less...
I knew it was a long shot, but if push comes to shove that's what's gonna have to happen I suppose.
Yeah... I hadn't realized how much it would cost, honestly! The only Aussie tach is listed for $200 on ebay! And that's just for a black face if you're too particular! Crazy expensive! Sorry to fail you, man!
For the race car, a tach adapter is the only way to go. It's like $50-75 for a brand new adapter, $140 for the cheapest BEAMS a/t tach on eBay, or $200 for the m/t tach. I say tach adapter all the way.
