My Lexus RS200 Turbo Build - Lexus RS200T - 19-06-2023
Hi Ladies and Gents. I know need your guys help.
My Tachometer on the Lexus read now 2/3 of the value due to I changed the engine from a 6cyl to a 4cyl.
How do I go about to fix it on the tachometer or anyplace else. I cant change it on my new ECU.
Thank you

There is adjusters out there mate but they aren't cheap.

Simplest fix would be an altezza cluster but they can be hard to find and expensive .There's one on tezzaworld for 150 euros

The car is a Lexus IS200.
I saw there is a thing on the market called tachometer adapter. Will see if i can get hold of one.

I installed a new 320Lph fuel pump so that I don't have any starvation on fuel, the fuel pump holder had to be modified for a return line. Installed a 10mm fuel line and the original fuel line I used as the return back to the tank. Reusable FTF fuel filter was installed and a FTF fuel pressure regulator. All the fuel lines in the car is AN6 fuel lines and all the fitting is FTF blue and red anodized fittings.
I installed a oil cooler in front of the car with a Aero oil thermostat. I relocated the oil filter as well because with the engine sitting horizontal it was point to the road.
After all of that the wiring started. With the Lexus you can not remove the original ECU as the whole cars electronics works from it or is tied into it same way or another. So I had to cut from the original ecu what I was not going to use and wire some of the back to my new ecu that is running the engine, it was a timely affair but I got it working and that was a great.

Hi guys
Sorry for the long delay. The car was at the dyno two weeks ago. It made 205kw and 309nm torque on the wheels on 1 bar boost. Feels like a new machine and is really strong. Will take it back in 1500km so that they can take up the boost. First need to run it in further and change to full synthetic oil.

Nice, some decent power there! Are you running the engine without the plastic cover on the front? I ran mine with just the top cover off and a stone go in there and shreded the timing belt. I got very lucky to spot it before it broke!

No I run it with all the plastic covers on to protect the the timing belt and gears.
