It's just electricity and resistance: of course you can do the same thing. The procedure will be similar but the resistance values will be far different.

It's not hard to remember the main speeds and how they convert. 40, 60, 80 are all you need to know and can figure out the rest in your head.

I've always sort of thought about this, pretty interesting.

TurBlu long time. How did that 350 civic come along? Were you ever able to finish or sell it? Gambit told me that **** went down with you and your buisness partner, sorry to hear that. Hope all is well now (you dont know me but i was always a big fan of that 350 civic.

Anyway i dont see a reason to do this. why not just swap in a USDM cluster with the MPH on them? Or even better use a little white marker (the ones that you could wipe off) and write the MPH on there and when it comes time to sell the cluster just wipe it off. Simpler

seriously...i put a little post-it with the main speeds with my recent jdm cluster install...once i get them down, ill just take it off..and when you do this..its kind of getting rid of the jdm authenticity it would seem like...haha...just my thinking...but i guess it would be nice.

There are pre-made speed converter devices available for this purpose (mainly for imports into the UK). They are fairly simple to install and not terribly expensive.
