This video is intended as Entertainment only.
It's crazy seeing and hearing the new videos compared to the old! Reminds me of the How It's Made soundtrack!
I guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Payton Jeremias Instablaster =)
0:45 "if your car is no that quick like ours, a big gauge let's you know exactly how fast you're not going"
i didn't expect a joke here
You know the funny thing is, i never really learn how to do stuff from mcm, but i still watch it for entertainment.
Same hahaha!
Lol same here
So true lmao
i dont even have a license
John Smith im to young so i just watch it because its entertaining and interestring
>Thief magnet.
Good thing I live in the USA, where car jackers don't know how to drive stick. ;D
Lol, if you can drive stick in america you're more likely to get woman that can't afford autos lol
I'm from PA and I drive an 84 w100 with a 4 speed manual tranny like 5 times a week, not that hard
Not true. My 98 ram was a stick and it got jacked in houston.
this is a stupid narrative to keep pushing. if you own an EM1 Si or a CRX or something, and a thief actually wants it, owning stick isn't gonna stop it from being taken. the most it will stop is teenage joyriders (your gears are gonna get fucked if they decide to go faster than 1st gear will allow them). that's it. sticks won't stop actual car thieves
fast, informative, and you guys did a very clean and professional job on those electrical connections. so many "how to install a tach" vids ive seen are sloppy and careless. Thank you guys. good show
"a tacho will not make your Hyundai cool" hahah the best part of the video!
thanks guys!:)
15 years later mighty car mods coming in clutch😂
There is no way this video is 12 years old. I remember wiring up the tachometer on my 78 ford when I was 15(24 now) and watched this for help. Almost 9 years of mcm for me. Absolutely crazy!
It makes the video way funnier if you think of tacos everytime he says tacho XD
Gosh this music is awfully damn close to the sound track to "How it's made"
lol true haha
Reminds me of gran tourismo on ps2
If in doubt check your wiring diagram. If you can't work it out, do the whole install then pay an auto electrician to do the rev wire for you.
My friend has two of these installed in his car, three if you count the one on the dash cluster.
Then again he also has a boost gauge but no turbo LOL.
whats so funny about a boost gauge in a non turbo car?
I cant think of a name yea i know its kinda wierd because it doesn't do anything except read vacuum
RICE RICE
Shaharyar Rehan BABY
i need to know how to install i temp gauge in my 2000 dodge neon can u help
That was great! A neat, clean install with just the right amount of humor thrown in.
But how do I install a Taco Gauge?!?
Go to Taco Bell, and buy a taco, place it on your dash
Mr_ Maus13 Taco gauge is measured in 1000 tacos/min, which keeps track of how many tacos you eat.
joeman543 Buy a midget Mexican
go to kfc buy a taco and place it on your dash
Good day mate-
Hey man-
How we doing?-
Im alright-
Mad-
LMAOOO i love Moog!
"If your cars not that quick like ours, a big gauge let's you know exactly how fast you're not going"
I lol'd... and then cried in my mazda protege dx.
Thanks! the close ups of your hands and tools helped a bunch!
do yall know anything about putting rev limit on carburetor-ed cars . i have an early 90's opel 140S
They look so young...god, cant believe this was 8 years ago or so
good old mcm.
Miss these episodes
back when Marty had hair
yup
his hair is in the bin
thanks so the spark plug is used to tell the revs of the engine and i have to make sure i get one with three wires
Old MCM videos make me smile
finally a new video!!!!
excited as
What a blast from the past love you guys!!
For some cars you can put the RPM signal wire from the gauge into the OBD port in the IG slot, It worked for me
+Melted Record Visuals & Mixes no not ecu, if you have kik or something I can send you a pic of it
Mighty mods come along way
1:30 THANKS MARTY AND MOOG! I got a 1986 Dodge Ram 50 4g54 2.6L (Mitsubishi L200 where you guys are from) and Im getting her running for the first time in 7 years. I got it started and the tach is not reading ... My coil looks a tad rusty and im wonder about cleaning the LEFT TERMINAL or just replacing with new. I HOPE THIS WORKS. Once again yall come in CLUTCH. THANKS OLD MCM VIDEO!!
Well with a few simple parts you can get off of ebay including: a GPS to locate taco stands, a large guage to show when you are getting close to a taco stand, an led alarm light to let you know when you have located a taco, then some wiring and a soldering iron to help you install it in your car.
I don't get it. So this mod is illegal in Australia because of "view obstruction", but drinking and driving is totally legit?
Watching again after 12 years 👍🏻
they have their uses especially for race application
wrong i race and i use a tec so i can keep my shift even without haveing to look down at my dash tec
OMG watching this at 2017 and look how Moog and Marty looks younger
I need a bigger one because you can read the rpm in a shorter amount of time compared to the little one inbuilt in the dash. And It looks quite cool tbh!
Damn - I was about to sell the AUDI for the Hyundai+Tacho combo. It's good that everything on the internet is real and trustworthy and there for the greater benefit of society. I almost made a huge mistake!
On the dragstrip with a high revving engine it might be useful with a tach that size but for everyday driving, one that goes up to 6-7k rpm and in-dash small size would be enough if even necessary.
oh lol i laughd my ass off at "if youre cars not quick like ours the tack lets you know exactly how fast youre not going" XD
not all car manufacturers has the same wiring color codes... not all tacho are electronic... some tacho are cable driven tacho..
"and ah it's illegal and we'll probably get our window smashed" hahahahaahahaha yesss
rigid one to my 88 toyota pick up 4x4, looks mad. It didnt have a tachometer so its also practical.
"..and its illegal and will probably get our window smashed" ahahhaahhaahha omg
@masterkronixster
wire you're looking for should be coming from coil, not distributor.
have you got a workshop manual? look in a workshop manual at the wiring diagrams and look for the instrument cluster, should be a wire for tacho somewhere.
Most cars are pre-equipped with the wiring for a tacho behind the instrument cluster (even if your model was never equipped with one), just have to get a wiring diagram and find out which ones.
the flames on it give you a extra 30kw!!!
14 years later and I just had someone bring this same gauge in the shop for install 😂🤣
i'm thinking that too, as soon as i saw the "ford" on the steering wheel that jumped to mind
Does anyone know exactly what tool Marty is using to splice and strip wires. I need one of those.
depends where you install it, if it "obstructs" your view, it might be illegal, so install it away from the windshield
@KScharba Sure is - before it was famous!
I have this Tach, how do set where the shift light comes on????
set the ;little knob to your shift to the rpms you want to shift at
I totally read that in Martys voice. Maaaad
Great work, as usual.
holy crap this is throwback
@FiveStarFilmz you can always install an shift light. Saves you all the trouble. ;)
I have a Honda Civic ex 2002 coupe standard, it has coils I dependent, my question is where can I take the rpm signal to install a tachometer.
i want to know how to find the rpm signal wire in my subaru B4
some crown vics up untill a few years ago didnt have em..also a ton of cars from the 80s n 90s didnt have em unless they were somewhat sporty cars
Can you guys show the procedure for new 5.7 hemi engines (multi displacement system) 2007 and newer with automatic 4/8 cylinder shut off when foot's easy on gas ?
ive got a sunpro afr gauge and after installing it it stayed at lean didnt sway then i put 2 new O2 sensors in and now instead of 1 main led lit it goes up to 2 ive had it in the orange range barely lit never reaches ideal mixture nor does it sway when throttle is peaked any suggestions as to why it stays to lean? i have a ford zx2
you should do a vid on how to install eclectric oil presure an oil temp gauges
hey i have a 98 eclipse and would i find the rpm wire going to the transmission or the distributor cap?
My car is 50 years old, how do I do that install
Signal wire to the - on the ignition coil
all u have to do for the tacho signal is look in the fusebox and look for the guage/guages fuse pull the fuse out. push the wire in and replace the fuse
@Jashomartin Pretty much anywhere that sells gauges? You don't need a huge one with a shift light etc, you can get small ones that just have the needle, like a normal tacho, or you can get those monster tach's with the shift lights etc, which no one really needs cos' if you don't know when to change gear on the street, well, enough said.
If my tacho is intermittent, would it likely be a problem with the dash cluster or a bad signal wire?
OH TACOS?! I LOVE TACOS!
I have an 82 suzuki sierra, no ECU, no fuel injection, hardly any electrics. They said something about a negative point from the distributor, what am I looking for to wire up the tachometer?
The yellow things are heat shrink. It just covers the wire so the bear wire won't short out on anything. The tool he has is a wire stripper.
The ending is epic
I think you guys should do some mods on turbo diesels as well, but then again though I guess that they aren't popular in AUS
How do you install this on a 2002 ford focus... There a green with blue line on a cable do I use that?
MCM I need help on getting through the ignition coil on a 1991 toyota mr2. Please message me.
At first I thought: why did you guy flip the video? And then I'm like: oh wait this is the UK. lolol
Amen to this. It's sad as an American, I can't buy a decent Ford or GM product at a affordable price. Hell, I went with Honda because they're cheaper, hold their value, and I get peppy power at a low cost. Plus I can get parts for my '05 from a wrecked '03 civic. American car markers should take note.
so what happens if you would set it to 6 cylinder would it read lower rpms?
love to race
race to love
that probably took you hours to think of, yet it still sucks
It's a device that measures the size of your taco so you know how fast you can safely eat it. If you eat it too fast the taco will possibly break and explode.
Can you install a Taco gauge on your mad diahatsu? It's like a shift light, but it turns on when your tacos are ready at the other side of the drive thru
Only the best Parklea Markets quality.
well done boys
I want to install a taco gauge. Should I go with a hard or soft shell?
I don't know what happen with me but my tacho look like to count only half of the true rpm because in the slow, it indicate 300 rpm and cut off to 3500 rpm this is impossible for a corolla. I collect it like you but I have two plug for the rpm signal, so two blue and yellow wire. Do I take there two wire together and collect it to the standard ignition wire of the tachometer? Please help me
I can shift nicely until my sound system is on higher volume. The sub runs louder than the engine if you hear music with a lot of beats, thats why i would prefer external rpm gauges. Its just a personal preference, no need to get offensive here
do you consider a 1994 ford ranger an older model vehicle or modern model
Is it legal to have my Tacho on my dash? like where some people put boost gauges?
***** Aslong as it doesnt block the view
I used to have a Mazda Protege (BG Chassis), the LZR's cousin
Here’s my question I have a 1987 S10 it has the 2.5L Where would I hook the I guess you would call main tachometer wire that gives the RPMs signal up to? I know a lot of people are going to laugh at me but I’m confused
i cannot find the red and green wire from the distributor
i have a nissan cefiro
rb20de
1991
"A Tacho will not make your Hyundai Cool" ... So True. XD.
TheRealLazerBlazer22 i didn't think of speed when I got my coupe, I just love the way it looks, and its reliable
Will it make my Dodge Caravan cool?
it might help if you left some more info like make and model .... but red to green black to yellow blue to grey cut the red wire boom.....
What good multimeter for rpms do you recommend? And do some scanners have an adapter just to check rpms on a vehicle, just like the multimeter's leads?
I don't think they get those in Australia... and why does a car made after 07 not have a tach?
Love to know where you can get one of those automatic wire strippers
Aesthetic, better viewpoint (preference) or in my case, your stock tacho doesn't work. It may be more accurate if it's anything like an aftermarket boost gauge.
Hahaha my favorite part was "Cop Magnet" haha...like i'm not a magnet already...
and Rake loves it.
lol at the last keep in mind XD
wouldu have any video tunning up a d16y8 97 civic if not u have to make up r anything at all thx
