i hear it's really easy to hook up, but i need some type of "tach adaptor."

i've also heard that this adaptor thingy is nothing more than a beefy (can handle a lot of power) resistor so that i won't get a check engine light.

will i damage anything if i don't have a tach adaptor?

and those of you who use the studderbox feature, what RPM do you set it to? typical launch RPM like 3500 or something?

oh yeah, one last thing... where's the best place to mount the thing?

yeah you will need that tach adapter...if your getting the programmable, which i would strongly advise over the non, you'll also need to get the map sensor..i got my map from summit too, i got the 3 bar...the software is pretty straight forward and very user friendly..you just need a laptop to use it w/ if you need any help w/ it pm me..i have all the paper work and have done it twice now..let me know...good luck

Yes. 8912 part number, you only need one. I JUST finished hooking mine up, piece of cake!

ANYPLACE YOU CAN!!!!!

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

well, it turns out that i didn't buy the programmable one. can i still retard the ignition according to boost pressure kind of like the knob thingy that goes with the Crane unit? or will i just have to fake it with the dip switches that are RPM based?

if you got the normal dis 2 you can only retard by rpm no knoby thing. if you can and got the cash call them and get the program type. its alot better for turbo cars.

I have the DIS 2 non programmable and YES you can retard the timing with it. It comes with a chart for settings of the program switches and combinations to retard at a certain RPM etc. However you will need some sorta datalogger to see exactly where you should start to retard the timing to compensate for advance. If you look in my sig pic you can see where I mounted mine. Took slight modding of the PCM bracket but noting that was too hard. Its between the PCM and the fuse box.


Good luck!
