Agreed...although I am curious why are you interested in the conversion? Watch a JDM vid, or do have a CTR cluster and got it up that fast, yO?

close estimate, but actually thats more like 145mph. the last mark after the 180km is 130mph (just look at a usdm cluster and you can see where this says 180km its 120mph on the usdm, but the mark after is 10 more mph so you do the math. also just to add a little extra info, anytime you have you speedo (if it reads correct...like no crazy diff sized wheels or anything) "pinned" as it will not go further(like where you have the white arrow) us or jdm cluster either you are going about 140-145mph.

180 km/h = 111.846815 mph

Take a piece of paper and put it on the picture provided...(on the monitor)
Place a corner of the paper where the 160KM/H mark meets the outer edge of the speedometer
Angle the paper so it is tangent to the 180KM/H mark at the outer edge of the speedometer
Make a mark on the paper at the 180KM/H mark.

You now have a basic 20KM/H scale.

Start with the corner of the paper at the 180KM/H mark
Line up the edge of the paper tangent to the speedometer at the mark on the paper
Continue around until you meet the mark that the OP made.

You should have had one full distance plus about a half

One full distance plus a half = 20 KM/H + 10 KM/H = 30 KM/H

Since you started at 180 KM/H the estimate speed should be 180 KM/H + 30 KM/H = 210KM/H

210 km/h = 130.48795 mph

...then again Honda speedos over 110-120mph are pretty unreliable.

i dont understand the point of getting the cluster when it reads less than a USDM Si cluster. si cluster goes to 140mph but ek9 to 180km which is 111 mph.
why is that?

because it looks way cooler and its a ctr cluster. you dont see the difference? carbon fiber gauge bezel, yellow needles, 10,000rpm, and jdm sweetness!!! also, you hardly go past 100mph anyways...

me being a man of jdm or ek9 parts understand that very well. (that was a very retarded comment from you) LoL, and i am soon to get one this weekend actually but i dont like the fact that it goes only to 111mph. i would assume since the ek9 has 25 more horses than a b16a2 that it would have a higher hp/kilo reading

Japanese model cars are limited to 180kmh by the stock ecu fuel cut. Therefore the clusters only go to 180kmh.Singapore models have 220kmh though and arent limited.

Your math is way off. 180KPH is about 112.5MPH.

1.6km/mile.

Do you think that the only difference between KMH vs MPH clusters is the gauge overlay? You don't think that maybe there's a differently calibrated stepping motor in there?
