The black will be your ground, and the red should be your power. Assuming that that's what u have.
If there is only one left then that should go to your RPM signal on your ecu. It will pic up the voltage from there and that's how it will display it. As for the power, I dunno where you are mounting it, but tell me and I can give you the closet power supply.

You can tap the blue wire near the battery for an RPM signal rather than touching the ECU. There used to be a DIY for this in the DIY section but it isn't there anymore.

I did it mainly for functionality since i had nothing to start with.
Hoping it will help with my shift points.
Weather permitting im taking it to the track tonight for some baseline numbers.
CDMX, I think your numbers are off but we'll see what my 85 hp can do.
By the way i smoked an ex by 3 cars last night. Hey it was probaly the driver, so I guess I'll have to wait till tonight to get some real numbers.
I'll let you know.

I got a red black green & yellow wire combination on mine..
red = power (mounitng in dash cluster bezelpod)
green = test tach?
black = obvious
yellow=?
thats what i'm confused about..
