Koso dash help

I'm in the process of sorting the wiring in my Indy with an R1 engine.
With the koso clocks you get a pickup and some magnets for sorting the speed out.
Is there any reason I can't use the pulse from the speed sensor instead of faffing around finding somewhere for the magnets and pickup?

Also for the tacho I take it I can again use the pickup coils output?

And lastly, how do I work out the settings for the speed? I take it I have to factor in the 3.62 reduction of the diff if I use the speed sensor?

Thanks

Ben





You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

Isn't the Koso, as most units, designed to work with their magnets? That way, you know it will be accurate.

Faffing about is what these cars are about!!

I have used their magnets and sensor for speed (glued the magnets onto my prop, and made a bracket to hold the sensor on my centre bearing).

The revs, I tried using their coil pickups etc, but I found the best solution was to use the bike tacho wiring straight into the Koso. It worked first time!

Yeah was going to go down that route for the tacho, was just testing the water for the speed sensor, I might have a play and see how it works out.
