SOHC-DOHC cluster conversion

[s13drob]

has anyone done the SOHC gauge cluster conversion so that the cluster reads DOHC tach? i want to make sure it works and pictures would be a plus... its detailed in this link http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=272023

Conversion?

Remove SOHC cluster.
Install DOHC cluster.

There's nothing else to it.

well I have also heard of guys wiring signal from coil directly to tach of sohc..works fine...
you need to solder a couple wires to back of cluster...on a couple of pins...I read it on a diff forum, that has info and not just neg rep. :o

good luck. either way.
the easiest is forsure swap out for a dohc tach...cheapest is solder.

yea i kno that dohc cluster the best 2 go but the thing is i got 2 SOHC cluster and i might as well put them 2 use. thanx all... ill try the "nico" method

You can swap the whole cluster. Or, just swap the tach(remove via screws in the back.) from clutster to cluster.

reviving this thread from the dead...but i need to know how to directly wire the tach to the ignition coil...or distributor.
if anyone can help me out that would be great!!!

from what i've read online and i am also doing on my s13 right now
1. find the tam wire behind the cluster (yellow w/ red stripe)
2. run a wire from the tam to the engine bay near the ignition coil
3. cut or strip the coil positive wire and attach

now here's the part im stuck on...... i can't tell which is the positive wire on the ignition coil :(

I have done the swap. I have a bunch of SOHC digital clusters so I ran a tach driver wire to the cluster and it works perfect.
I did a write up on it , but it is in the preemie section. This is the one I tested as the positive.
