Does anyone have a Digital RPM window switch, need some feedback please. Is the install pretty simple.
I just ordered mine yesterday. I hope to have it here by wed. and installed for the track by friday. I'm doing the install on the ECO. I'll post what I come up with once i'm done if you want. <br>

i had one in my z24 2.4 and it was easy to put in since i put in my shift light and it connect to the same wire

good grief shazbot, how much did that run ya????
and let me know how you go about installing it.... i'm curious.... to say the least
<br>
Install wasn't too bad. I had thought I might be able to pull 1/2 tach signal from one of the ICM wires but that didn't work out as planned. So I got myseld an MSD tach driver, spliced it into the pink power supply wire and was on my way. Install was simple but I do have an electronics background. I can try to draw up a schematic if anyone needs it.
It works great. I was at the track this past friday to try and beat my previous personal best of 14.7. Well being able to have 50 extra HP at the wheels in first gear now instead of 2nd was a huge help once i learned how to drive with it there. What's nice with the digital is I can open up my glovebox, tap a few buttons, and adjust the on and off points by 100 rpm incraments.
End result: old best ET spraying from beginning of 2nd to the traps 14.7
New best 14.2 spraying all the way down the track from 3200 to 6300

i'm perfectly fine with electronics
a wiring schematic would be great
how much did the setup cost ya?
<br>
Thanks man, I'm hoping I can squeze a 13.9 out of her without using a bigger shot (currently 50). I have a few tricks in mind to get there. Last friday was a last minuite decision so the trunk was full of ish, about 30 or so lbs, full tank of gas, and the suspension was still set level for cornering. Next time I'll be jacking the back and slamming the front
Did I mention all my times are on stock RS-A's
Ok, don't make fun of my artwork, nobody said I was an artist
I drew this up this morning at work so if you have trouble making somthing out, or if you think I miss labeled somthing let me know. I've been sucessfully running this setup for about a week now and it's been perfect!

noids LMAO
ok i'm perfectly understanding that you run all these switches in series to close the circuits for the relays....
my questions is.... before the tach driver, where does the pink and pink/green wire come from???
THANKS alot for the diagram and the parts numbers
<br>
ok so i went out to find the pink wire....

thank you sir!
<br>
You got it in the 1st pic. I think (about 75% sure) that the wire on the ECU is the same wire but I can't be 100% on that. But the pink one in your first photo is deffinately the one you want. You'll cut it and put the driver in series with it (like a switch).
Heres a couple of pics of where I spliced the wire and mounted the driver.
Glad I can help. I'll send you the invoice for my consulting fees
Good luck man, let me know how you make out. <br>

i PROMISE that everyone and their grandmother will know how i do next season
but i can ASSURE you that i will be in the 13's as i have made a bet with my friend adam who says i can't and i will max out every credit card i have to prove him wrong just so i can take his 20 dollars lol
ok so proving adam wrong isn't my only reason for my future plans but god damn that kid is goin down.
and once again THANK YOU very much for the input and pics and whatnot... VERY HELPFUL and keep up the good work.

ps, you ever need help with somethin you let me know.... i try to help when i can around here but if you need money go somewhere else!
i drive a cavalier for a reason!

would the rpm switch work on the zex kit? Would be any different since it has that controle box? <br>
<img src="http://registry.gmenthusiast.com/images/h8hondaz/sig.jpg">
i'm not sure how the zex kit "box" works
get that crazy cannuk johnny lenko or that guy from colorado (i can't remember his name) in here
they both run zex
if you could find a wiring diagram for how the zex kit works that'd be cool
<br>
The price i found for the digi RPM window switch was about $180 from
Here and I'm really close to buying this for my car but im wondering, lets say you have it set at 3000-5800, will it spray the nitrous if you're revving(5-speed) up to launch?
If anyone understood that lemme know! and thanks! <br>

well, if you're smart.....
you'd have an rpm switch ALONG with a wot switch
it'd be ideal in my opinion to set the rpm window for 4k to 6200 or so and use it in first gear, cause i usually launch at 2500-3000 and by the time i get traction i'm at 4 anyways
bball, use the two msd part numbers up top and look on summit, you'll find that the two together are about 140
the window switch you linked to doesn't have anything for distributorless ignitions which means it wouldn't read tach signal correctly and you'd have to buy a tach driver as well, i'd say go with the msd stuff and get it done
<br>
and now that i look
you could put a window switch inline with the throttle position sensor that goes along with your zex kit
if you're not within the rpm range the circuit will remain open until both the throttle position switch and the rpms are in the right range
<br>
Wow, Rich, this is the first I've heard of your new times. That's awesome, man! glad to hear it's all working for you. I like my non-digital rpm switch just fine, it serves me well considering I'm too damn cheap to buy the digital version, lol. Man, you gotta IM me or something, long time no chat. <br>

When it gets alittle dryer outside i'll go out and record my launches on camera and see about where in the RPM's it grabs traction! So for now i'll only have the w.o.t switch until I grab this rpm window switch! <br>

cool thanx for the info man <br>

Jarrett, Yea man haven't talked really since that day at atco. I didn't see your SN in your profile so hit me up with a email or phonecall or somthing. My aim name is listed in there so you can get me on that too. I've been busy over the past 6 months ( not car related unfortunately) but I'm looking forward to the upcoming season. I'm trying to keep up with you LOL....

Well, a bump up to the 75 shot, Maybe some drag radials, and a trip to E-town, and you might just beat my personal best. Lookin good, Rich. I'm done with the Z24 for a little while, trying to get the '52 back on the road (and track) for next season. Plus, I just bought another 50's era car to pimp out, so money will be diverted to those projects instead of the cavi for quite awile. <br>

ok, i'm curious
i was just looking at the install instructions from msd in pdf format
why did you buy the tach signal converter?????
msd part number 8969 can be set to run on a 2 cyl distributor less ignition
are you using the tach converter for a tach too and just using the signal for the window switch too???
thanks
<br>
