88 Zed Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Hi all, I have an import Zed that's been converted to mph, but dose anybody know if the other readings in the dash will have been converted too? I'm talking about the distance to empty and km per litre readings? Quote
Stutopia Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Fill it up, if the DTE is much over 350 it must be in KMs Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 to be totally sure, replace the triple gauges and the AC brainbox with UKDM ones 1 Quote
88 Zed Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Yea its full now, in the 400s! It doesn't bother me really, the 7 kms per litre isnt nice to look at tho haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Stutopia Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Maybe I was being unfair on the Zed's tank. 80L capacity, so 17.6 Gal, at 24mpg that means about 422 miles DTE on a full tank. I do a lot of town driving so typically see 19mpg = 334 miles DTE on a full tank. If I am being gentle on long motorway drives it's more like 27 mpg = 475 miles DTE on a full tank. So basically ignore me Quote
88 Zed Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Haha okay! I would have thought that once you convert the speedo to mph the other gauges get there info from that so its probably miles! It just gets to me if somethings not working as it should! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

ATTAK Z Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 .......... It doesn't bother me really, the 7 kms per litre isnt nice to look at tho haha I think you've answered your own question there Quote
Stutopia Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Everyday is a school day 60L then its 249 at 19mpg, 314 at 24mpg and 353 at 27mpg Quote
88 Zed Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Well its reading in KMs but it might get its info from something thats been converted to MPH? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Just drive and then stick the triple gauges on "Current Speed" then you'll know for sure Quote
88 Zed Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Yea thats spot on! Matches the speedo and feels about right but still says KMs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
russyb Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 So just to clarify when clocks are swapped from km to MPH does mileage get adjusted to correct Miles or just have a mixture of km's and miles I know years ago they just fitted a MPH converter to gearbox on jdm motors wondered if things had moved on since then ? Quote
Jetpilot Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 They will read in miles, but it wont swap from saying kmh to mph, as above you will need uk clocks and triple gauges to have mph letters and miles per gallon. This is also wont auto calibrate the mileage readout so will be a mix of miles and km. Quote
Mudman Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 If you are swapping the triple gauges to UK - don't forget to do the heater brain same time Quote
88 Zed Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Okay, thats at the bottom of the list for now as ive got my throttle controller to fit and some tidying on wiring wise from the car play unit thats just gone in! I suppose i best start thinking about christmas presents before i blow all my money on treats for the motor hah Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
