hi,

just wondering if this kinda thing

http://www.acewell-meter.com/c0_1.php?pid=5&bid=11

can be mounted to an aseries engine and if so how hard is it?


Thanks Blake

Looks like it uses a magnet type speed sensor set up to calculate the speed, but being desinged for a bike would work off the wheel (like those ones you get for your deadly treadly). I guess it could be made to fit a car, you'd need to attach it to the wheel and mount the sensor somewhere where it wouldn't interfere with steering. I guess you could run it on the back? So technically, yes, it would work. It uses a spark sensor to work out the RPM, so you'd have to make sure it was compatible with a 4cyl 4 stroke. Considering there are 4cyl 4stroke bikes out there, I'm guessing this would be ok. I doubt very much if it would be legal as your only speedo/odometer, but you'd have to check with the authorities on that.

The real question is, are you going to be doing 300kmph at 11,900rpm?

Cheers,

I think that it wouldnt be legit if it is your only odometer, pretty sure yourmeter need to be able to clock more than 99,999 km.

mmm thats true crazy bob. Im just wanting to get some new gauges and thought something like this would be abit different.

Thanks Superseven, i actually dont mind that one either. Id be looking at outting other gauges in aswell so no fuel gauge is no big deal.

And i can only wish that i was doing 300kph @ 11900rpm but no my car has only ever been up to 135kph@5500rpm (on a dyno) so i cant quite see it reaching 300 but it would be nice!!!!!

Thanks
Blake

My mini only goes up to 99,999kms on the odometer I believe

If your Mini is pre 1980-something then you only need to have an odometer that goes up to 99,999km to meet ADR's.

I laugh every time I see a rough Mini on eBay with a "genuine 58,000km" or similar claim. It could be 558,000km, except the odometer would die before it turned that many times.

I have a Acewell 1500, more simple unit.

Pretty easy to install actually, using a hall sensor for speedo pickup.

I bought mine from here since it was local
