swaps are not easy for sure using wrong tachometer on target car.
Sorry about that, I mentioned the VW just because I have one and I want to swap in a different engine in it and run a standalone ECU. Because of that, I had started digging around the internet on how my VW's tach can be driven by the standalone. Then I remembered that the Vitara's tach could very much be driven the same way. 

I guess it wasn't really necessary mentioning the VW, since it doesn't have any relevance to the matter at hand what so ever, but I just thought that I could throw it in just to be more clear about my thought process. I ended up just causing confusion. I'm sorry about that.

To recap, the Vitara has its own original tachometer still in place, I need to drive it using a signal from the J18A's ECU. The donor car is a Baleno 1.8GTX, the only things from the Baleno are the Engine and ECU, everything else is stock 1997 Vitara.
