if i where to buy a JDM gauge cluster out of a civic sir II with the Kph and put guage faces with MPH over it would it be accurate to the MPH?

I pretty sure it would be off

YoungMoneySi

it would be off. your cluster is reading in kilos so putting a piece of plastic in front of it doesn't change anything.
you just have to learn how to convert and if not you can install a kilo-mph converter

brown82

ya ur right if u know the conversion then ur golden

d4rk13l4de

well on the faces it has both kph and mph

brown82

oh ok then ur good

d4rk13l4de

faces

cluster

i think the kph marks are the same on the faces just smaller

brown82

do have a automatic or man trans?

YoungMoneySi

180 kilos equals 111 mph. there is no way it will work. also, not that it mattes on the speedo but the overlays you are showing are for an automatic
that is a true jdm cluster and if you have one why would you dare touch it by putting overlays? just learn to convert

thanks for the info! i will just try not to go to slow lol

You can buy the JDM cluster, then buy a speedo converter. Automatically converts the KMH to MPH.

where do you get those? it would make the 20kph mean 20mph?

hmoobhero

just convert them and write it on a sticky post and stick it to your visor. thats what i did and got use to it within a week.

go like:

KPH MPH
10kph = watever it equals
20kph = watever it equals
and so on...

I'm using a JDM cluster too. Don't cover or modify it. Just memorize the common speed limits in your area. You'll be used to it in a couple weeks, and it's bad *** to say your using JDM guages. For example my most common speed limits around my town are 25, 35, and 45 mph. I just memorized those 3 speeds in kph to start, and then the rest is pretty easy to estimate. If in doubt when a cop's near, just go the same speed as everyone else around you. lol

That is correct. 20kmh=20mph

the converter only helps for the miles driven shown onthe cluster. it does not change anything as far as what it says on the gauge layout

Of course it doesn't change what it shows on the gauges. It changes the eletrical output from the VSS, thus converting the KMH to MPH. If it read 60 KMH on the cluster, after the converter, it will be 60 MPH.
