9000 rpm tach

[DTM190]

Exactly like that

Like this?

I have spoken to an instrument tech and it'd be possible to rotate the tach but it'd take a bit of surgery.

[DTM190]

I wish we could spin the tach around so that redline/max rpm is at TDC but it would involve major surgery or after market,


I think it looks great

[CHIF8008]

necessary? no

cool? heck yea! the yellow and black all the way to 9 look good

This would be cool for an s54 swap.

It's for a M42 with bigger inlet and exhaust valves, Schmitthelm valve springs, Schrick Ti retainers, Catcams cams, mechanical lifters. Schmitthelm valve springs were being run in 6R4 metro and DFV Cosworths. They were reving the 6R4 metro with these springs to 13500 safely.

8500rpms will not be out of the question.

[Kershaw]

why? are you swapping in a rotary engine?

Some variations:

I have been fiddle-farting around and dummied together a 9000rpm facia. This is the first attempt:



I drew up a few facias (8000, 8500, 9000) on CorelDraw and printed with a lazer colour printer onto an overhead transparency and the back of the transparency white. For this trial I slit the facia to fit without removing the needles - not my dash so I do not want to risk damaging the needles.
