Default chino is teh man

As many of you read, when you swap a 1JZ into an SC, the tach doesnt work. Well alot of ppl go the MSD route, well i had chino do his magic on my car, no msd pickup, no nothing. By the time it took me to goto the bank to give him a few bucks for doing it, tach worked. Never had to touch the engine bay. Good work!

Im intrested in how to wire the tach and temp guage without resistors or the msd unit. My temp gauge doesn't work rite now and the msd unit is what im at the moment for the tach. Help a fellow sc300 brotha out . I promise i'll keep it a secret .
