Demetri Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi I have changed my existing KPH dials to MPH dials - only because I wanted the accuracy and look of the MPH dial. When connected this up and driving the car - it like shows I am doing 50MPH but really it should show I am doing 80MPH or there abouts. Does this have someting to do with the calibration when going through SVA? There must be a speedometer converter located somewhere does anyone know where it is ? thanks for taking the time to read this and if anyone can help that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 The speed converter is located behind the speedo assy itself , it is a small matchbox sized item with about 5 wires running from it (from memory) this will have to be disconnected to obtain correct reading.. also beware, some of the original wiring is cut to put the converter in place and will have to be bridged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demetri Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Ok will do - will this box have anythin to do with the de limiter? I have had a de limiter put on the car and dont want it to be affected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Ok will do - will this box have anythin to do with the de limiter? I have had a de limiter put on the car and dont want it to be affected no it wont effect the Speed de-limiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demetri Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 One more question, now that I have changed the speedometer, when I take off the converter box will this affect the actual mileage? will it add km or miles onto the digital dial?

lomoto Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 One more question, now that I have changed the speedometer, when I take off the converter box will this affect the actual mileage? will it add km or miles onto the digital dial? no it will clock up in MPH if you have a MPH speedo, if you put back your KPH speedo without the converter it will clock up in KPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
