I just recently bought a honda integra typeR cluster and the fuel gauge works as in it moves but it doesnt actually measure my actual fuel. So what can I do to fix it? I have a 96 gsr and the gauges came out of a 00' type R. Does a type r have the same fuel tank capacity as well?

put your old fuels gauge in place of the jdm one it should be the same

 

I would put the old ones in but the gsr needle is red and the type R is yellow.

 

change the needle

 

jut a quick question not stealing the thread.... but how do u read the kilometer spedo on the jdm guages?

 

Changing the needle may royally screw up ur good gauge too. afaik the needles don't like to be moved on the gas gauge so you have to be careful. I changed one on my old cluster and they would never be in the correct position no matter what i tried.

i use my eyes usually.

 

well... *** haha no becuase doesn't the speedo on the jdm gauge go to like 280km?? where as the usdm goes to 140mph

 

there is liek a gneral rule if i am correct. divide ur speed by 10 then multiply by 6. soemthing like that.
so 60km/ 10= 6 *6 = 36.
not 100%

 

I swear to God, do you people never search??? Replace the plastic film on the back of the ITR cluster with the film from the original cluster out of your car and it works just fine and dandy.

And regarding reading in kilometers. Every 25 kph is about equal to 15 mph.

 

How do you replace the plastic film if you can't take off the needle? I'm not that damn stupid I've already thought of that. I wouldve tried that but it would brake the needle if youve ever looked at the gauge. If the needle wouldnt have popped off I wouldve definitly done that.

film = green circuit board film on back of the cluster

 

I thought if you have a 94-97 teg you want to use the 96 spec type r gauge and it you have a 98-01 teg you want to use the 98 spec type r gauge to have it work right????question really...could be wrong

 

1mile=1.62km

so, just divide everything you see on you km/hr cluster by 1.5 since it's easier than 1.6. then add back a few. or just take your calculator and do some divisions, and use a cheat-sheet for a while stickied to your dash. when you don't need it any more, then you can take a friend for a ride
