XSVWGN Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hey team, A while ago I bought a Veethree rev gauge to wire into my hilux and I’ve just sat on it for ages and decided i would look look at it now whilst I have some time off. It’s an alternator driven unit that works off pulses per engine revolution. The paperwork it comes with says you need to work out the number of poles on your alternator and then work out the pulley ratio and then add some magic and you are ready to go. i can’t find any info on the poles etc and it’s quite confusing for a simpleton like myself. is anyone able to shed some lite in things for me? https://veethree.co.nz/product/tachometer-diesel-black-dial-black-bezel/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 How hard is it to specify the #poles? just throw in an even number and see if it looks about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things I’ve read have talked about taking the pulley and fan off the alternator and have a look that way. Others have talked about the amount of teeth on the flywheel, others have given specs on commonly branded alternators. It’s quite confusing Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
