Do I need a tach driver with an Apexi Neo???

[vincentiarr]

I just ordered an Apexi Neo and it will be here tomorrow. Do I really need a tach driver? I mean I'm an automatic so if the Tach is off a little I really don't care. What does not having a tach driver do?

Someone please help!

not sure on what your asking?????but no you do not need a tack driver.

Some aftermarket tachs require a tach driver because they are designed to work with a distributor. If you don't have a distributor (and dsm's don't), then you may need to get a tach driver to make it work right. The tach driver wires inline with the ignition coils and senses the current through this wire and converts this information to a 12 volt signal that most aftermarket tachs use as a trigger signal. So on the Apexi Neo I'm not sure if you need one, but if you do then no you probably can't run it without one.

Ok thanks guys ... so I guess has anyone installed a Apexi Neo and not had to use a tach driver?

Hey,
I have the apexi neo and I do not have a tach driver. Works fine.
