Ok kids here we go again, pay attention, take notes and reply to this thread if u have any questions/comments or would like to add something i forgot. I have more pics of the install process but i didnt upload them cuz i didnt think we need them but if u want to see something in more detail lmk!
Toolz u will need:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver possibly
- 10mm Socket and ratchet (to disconnect battery terminal)
- Crimping Tool
- Gator Clips (for testing stuff out before u connect everything f
- Soldering Iron
- 60/40 solder
- Electrical Tape
- wire strippers
- shring tubing
- lighter
Also you will need a tachometer and a tach adapter. You simply cannot pull a rpm signal off the ECU or the coilpacks.
I used the MSD Dis-Tech 8913. Alternatively you can use the Autometer 9117 as it works also and it shares the same amount of wires and theyre all labeled the same colors and serve the same purposes.

As you can see i added extra wire to my harness well in advance. i also added spade male/female connectors and an eyelet connector to the ground wire. All connections were soldered and shrink tubed.
NOTE: I could not find red/green wire to use for extension so i extended it with green wire only.
If you dont have a solder gun, this mod is not for you!
Here's a tach i bought for experimental purposes. If this didnt work, i wouldave hated to get stuck with a $200 tach. Cost me $35 at Advance Auto.

OK, let's get right to it.
Take off your sill plate, the kick panel and the glove box. Behind the glove box you will see 2 screws, remove those two screws and youll be able to take out a black shield down there.
Here's a pic: DISREGARD my crossover box. It has nothing to do with the installation.

Now, get on your knees on the floor and look underneath the dashboard and u will see this!

push that little box up and disconnect one round connector and drop the box down as far as u can. Disconnect the plug off the relay on the Right side.
Hello Little Plug! u see that green wire with white stripe?? that's your FRRRRRiend.

Next you bring your trusty little TACH ADAPTER and connect the wires like you see on the picture.

I found an empty slot on the fusebox and used a spare fuse and shoved it in there. i left this for last and i was going to do trial and error to see which fuse would have ACC switch but i nailed it on the first try.
