Offering for the Twingod

This is a tachometer, it’s a gauge that is usually in the dash letting you know how fast the engine is spinning, which tells you what you can expect from your engine, power wise and when to shift.
And notice that I said usually in the beginning. A tachometer used to be more of a luxury extra, either available only in higher trims or only on more premium cars. But up until the 2000s, the only cars that still didn’t get them were some proper nuggets, speaking of which...
Hope you enjoyed the video!

the reason you need the speedo in 2cyl mode is because you only actually have 2 coils, the spark is shared across 2 cyl! its a very french design

[@YippingFox]

The design, it is very human...

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

Wasted spark

[@lunchtimewatches1854]

Kind of like a harley davidson?

[@EdgyNumber1]

​@@mr.slaphappy3794 Nah, its the old school way. I had this in a Ford Escort RS1600i and that was a early 80's car.

[@jaydenstephen-gerada5545]

Gm also uses this design on a lot of older vehicles that use coil packs instead of individual coils

[@ram_stick_samurai]

lol a racing tachometer in a lil' rust nugget is so funny but cool. And make the shift light blue like the car. (and all the red bit on the gauge, and blue interior lights like the digital speedo and warning lights)

[@RobinBlakey]

Those rubber grommits are sooo intense. I just put a Sub in my twongi and running the big power cable for the amp through there tested my patience 😅

[@TheRubberDuck]

I love watching your progress on the little Twingo's shame the UK never got the Mk1 version of it now

[@hapsti]

about the automatic leveling, print a 0Y crtouch offset adapter, the Y axis on the S1 is warped and causes issues because it assumes it isnt when theres a Y offset

Legitimately, I thought some of my auto wiring was pretty ghetto until I saw the speaker was taped on with what looked like medical bandage tape.

[@DanRobards]

My k11 micra is also missing this important gauge!

[@TroyDagley]

For better bed adhesion you can use a gluestick on the printer bed, has worked very well for me :)

[@Zakis_wonderful_world]

I use hairspray, which works if you really put a lot of it on. When that runs out, I might just go and buy some of those proper bed adhesion sprays.

[@TroyDagley]

@@Zakis_wonderful_world Yeah always good to do it properly but if you need something cheap and reliable literally just rub a gluestick on the bed to create a thin layer and everything sticks!

[@toiletgaming2005]

9:15 WHY just why you never run wires though anything without a grommet you shouldve drilled or poked a hole in the existing grommet and pulled the wires through smh my head

I LOVE how you do non destructive modifications to the Twongi! A lot of KZbinrs I watch sometimes do questionable mods that are often irreversible of which ruin their cars. Plus the mod is actually pretty well executed, so I think it’s justifiable!

[@vintageshed965]

The tacho needs to be in 2-stroke mode, because the ignition coil are running in wasted spark configuration. Wasted spark means, that one coil fires 2 cylinders at TDC at the same time, one spark ignites the fuel mixture, other is fired into the exhaust, hence why it is called "wasted spark". It saved the Renault the cost of two ignition coils.

[@Zakis_wonderful_world]

aaaah, I see. I've heard the term wasted spark being thrown around but I've never looked into what it meant. Now I know, thanks 👍

​@@urban6613 there are a few rolling around Europe on japanese moto engines. they're totally _riced_ though. 🥴

[@lukezaa10]

Twingo and many cars from 90s have semi sequential fuel injection and uses wasted spark ignition. That means that injectors work in pairs 1&4 and 2&3. Also there are two coils for cylinders 1&4 and 2&4. So if ECU send signal to coil two spark plugs are ignited. One spark is wasted and not used. I have Safrane 2.5R5 that have similar system but one cylinder is without pair but on my another V6 Safrane all three cylinders have pairs. Also they use generic 4 channel ECU from Bosch that was used in 4 cylinder cars with full sequential injection. I have full technical documentation on twingo and other renaults.

[@Zakis_wonderful_world]

Thanks so much for the explanation. Would you perhaps happen to have the ecu pinouts of the SIM32 ecu of the blu and also perhaps the Magnetti Marelli ecu that is on the older D4F, like in the grin?

[@glurak888]

Agreed, please please please

[@Robinsgamevlog]

[@jocking3b510]

I'd think that the twingo, as many other renaults of the time has something called "parasite spark ignition", where one coil sends out a spark to 2 cylinders at the same time instead of just 1 - so 2 coils are enough for 4 cylinders (and putting a spark into a cylinder which is currently in the exhaust stroke is no big deal). This is probably what causes the rpm gauge to work well only in 2 cylinder mode.

[@cavalierliberty6838]

Wasted spark.

[@jocking3]

@@cavalierliberty6838 In my school books it's called parasite ;)

[@ronnenfelt5438]

This gotta be the most exciting car project on KZbin. And you're not actually doing anything crazy, it's just too entertaining to see someone giving some love to Twingo

[@GrandPotatoe]

Who needs a tachometer when the little guy only goes 45mph tops?

[@Dziugenonas]

Probably to have a better idea of when to shift. Also it does 90-100mph

[@GrandPotatoe]

@@Dziugenonas I understand the importance of the video. My comment was mostly sarcastic.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

As a Colombian, i love these videos. The Twingo use once if the most popular cars here and they are dirt cheap, because the first generation was sold until late 2012. Might buy one as a project car

[@riedlerhotzenplotz4819]

Wait, what... Someone stuck dynaudio midrange dome speakers in there? These might have been pretty expensive at some point.

[@yugen042]

You should share the STL files for the gauge cluster after putting in so much work.

Please upload the stl files of those parts you printed to a site like thingiverse or printables so people who might want to do something similar dont have to suffer

[@WyvernDotRed]

For the 3D printer, I did not expect to see such a relic of an Ender 3 in such a recent version. I personally recommend a Prusa Mini instead, my kit of this model has been very reliable for the two years I had it. The full sized Prusa machines are also well cloned by Sovol, though I don't know if those are still around. If you do not care about relying on a Chinese cloud and app, the Bambu printers offer better value.

[@Idontknow-mf7tx]

Yeah was just thinking how happy I'm with my prusa mini too, barely ever do my prints fail and last time was my fault

[@declan2775]

I had some pretty terrible vibration in mine, but after I replaced the top engine mount (left side when looking in from the engine bay) it completely disappeared. The mount looked fine visually but it wasn't doing its job anymore, maybe it's similar on yours?

[@snazzy_pungas244]

Hello from Republika Srpska.

[@enclavegeneral2077]

The nuggie has been upgraded

[@Omega_SM]

I usually just shift and revmatch by audio feeling and also if you search on the internet/try yourself you can find the gear ratios and maximum speed (in second it's like 80ish and in third its like 123ish) so you also have a reference to which compare rpms (like, in third at 80ish the engine should be around 3 thousand rpms). For the "lights without turning the switch" thing, if you are concerned about the dimming light of the tachimeter when turning lights on I read on the Italian's Twingo Community that there should be a solenoid behind the tachimeter's screen that you should be able to regolate in some ways (I really don't know how tho, maybe by changing some resistance(?)) so the tachimeter's light won't dim (also you could apply plastic filters upon the led so you can see the speed better). Wonderful fourth gen music as always!

[@levighter]

Try how it looks on watanabei's😆

[@aidanholmes7374]

Give the blu a new sounds system there are good relatively cheap options

[@Zakis_wonderful_world]

Will do, but it first needs a bit of sound deadning

[@offbrandbiscuit]

Glad you and I had the same thought. I feel all cars should have a tacho, otherwise I'd be concerned about knowing when I'm supposed to shift. I wonder if it'd be possible to wire a speedo onto the Twingo as opposed to the digital speedo that it has in the centre of the dash?

[@Zakis_wonderful_world]

I haven't looked into that cause I quite like the digital speedo.

[@offbrandbiscuit]

​@@Zakis_wonderful_world how easy is it to see from the driving position? I'd personally be a bit nervous about that myself having only driven cars with the speedo in front of me
