I need help to install a rpm meter to my car (wira 1.3L) year 2002. I try to install the meter once.. but the guy in the shop told me that i cannot put the rpm meter due to the plug.. He added that my engine comes from Indonesia and not from M'sia... Correct me pls... Worst he said... because of the plug difference... i wont get any RMP meter forever... PLS HELP ME!!!!!!!

If can, can you guys show me how to install the meter and where do the plug the guy said located??

I think your mechanic is talking cock and bull story, especially the "Engine comes from Indonesia".
Hello mechanic~! Engine is Mitsubishi and buatan Malaysia only la~!

Secondly it's possible.Just need to tap from the ECU, or crank sensor, depending on the car.
Goto another (any) accessory shop and tell them you want to install RPM meter.

Read this forum: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=400189

But it's preferably to install WIRA 1.5L or Mitsubishi (imported) meters, cause they are the most accurate.

I have tried before, comparing the AutoGauge and a "swap over" Nissan Sunny "EXTRA" model meter. The ori Sunny meter is more accurate than the AutoGauge.

i totally agree with you...Engine Wira buatan indonesia...hahahahahahah!
btw, teach me abit how u noe whether the tachometer is showing correct RPM/accurate or not??

Thx a lot guyz.. I think i will find wira1.5L meters... or mitsu meter.. ^^ thx guys...

what about the costing for the installation?

i'm driving satria 1.3 and it doesnt come with rev counter either. if i want to change the whole meter panel to the 1.5/1.6 models, how do i adjust the mileage counter? coz if i dont adjust then i'll be using the new meter's mileage

Apa mau buat, most mechanics are not highly educated what.. talk cock a lot.

Why is a stock tacho more accurate than an Autogauge? Is it because Autogauge uses stepper motor but stock tacho uses a voltage coil and is more instantaneous?

i dont think u can adjust unless u take out the glass and turn it urself manually

TS, just bring your meter to any wireman, they can gao dim for u...

last time back on 2000, my ex-satria 1.3L also no rpm meter. i bought one and it cost me RM30 just for installation in a workshop.

and the mechanic who tell u "ENGINE COME FROM INDONESIA" is totally B****Shi*.

Haha .. funny ... from indonesia .. lolz...

btw, most satria/wira ... year 2000 and above already has all the cables you need on ur dashboard and plug nicely d... if u wan it to look original .. just buy a 1.5/1.6/1.8 meter... just plug in and hooray your RPM meter is working d.

My old satria 1.3 ... i plug in a putra 1.8 meter .. works nicely .. without any wiring modification .. its a satria 2001 ..

i think can find it easily at chopshop..

or if u need one...my mec got 1 meter extra...forgot its from 1.5 or 1.6

I driving 1.3 satria too. Instead i bought an autogauge rpm meter. It's quite slow motion compare to oem's but its better than ntg. I'm currently looking for wira se 1.5 meter(the red one) but prices are hefty. Anyone knows where to get it?

i own wira aeroback 1.3 (2001). the panel meter has damaged. i decide to replace with wira 1.5 meter. do i need to make any modification or extra wiring? or just plug-in the meter?

u need to rewiring the meter oni...since 4g13 dont have rpm...and yes...i oledi rewiring my bro 4g13 to mmc meter...

rewire the meter only ah?

the meter shd sit in without rewiring. And if your car are before year 2001 (most probably) .. and its a 1.3 .. it is possible that the engine RPM reading wire are not install .. u need to wire that particular wire only

sifo,

my wira is 2001.... so how...?

can i use those CARB wira type 1? i mean the 1.5 ones.... wat are the disadvantages if i use CARB meter...?

if use carb meter, dont have engine check/injector light.

i think can direct plug in.
my ex-satria 1.3 .. its a 2001 (end) version..
direct plug in .. no need rewired anything..

the downside of using carb meter is u dun have the Check engine light like shawnzz says..

but u can always mix and match ..
last time i bought a 2nd putra meter.. the back cover connector spoilt so i took out the meter and put into the 1.3 satria back covers and u get all the lights u want.

I'm driving 1995 1.3 Wira, I did install the additional RPM Meter few years back. Only 2 cable needed. 1 direct tap from ECU, another 1 is electric for the light (Background).

That's all. 5 minutes work.

Thanks all da input.

So 1.3 carburettor can use 1.5 carburetor meter?
