Ok, whilst looking at new plasma / LED clocks, I just realised that my turbo shell has KPH clocks.

 

My NA, has MPH clocks, but a different series, long story short, I want to use the KPH turbo clocks, with the turbo gauge removed.

 

So I figured I would need a converter, but then figured there must be one on my NA, as it's already in MPH, but my question is where?

 

I looked for a 'How to' guide to fitting a converter, I figured that would tell me where it's fitted, but sadly nothing.

 

Cheers!

Behind the clocks, small heatshrink wraped or small box with 4 wires, 2 attached to clocks , 2 spliced inline with incoming cable.

Unless the speedo only goes up to 120mph in which case you dont have one

Cheers, I'll have a look tomorrow, but I'm beginning to think I don't have one!

So, once converted, what will the top speed be?

 

I've noticed that some dials go up to 160MPH and others 180MPH.

Ok, after some digging, I've discovered that I need to find the R10 resistor inside the clocks IC. I need to replace the Jap spec 33K ohm with a 20K, and then the clocks should read MPH, with 180MPH as the top speed (I hope!).

 

I just need someone to confirm that this is the correct resistor (selecting 20K) -

I plan to do this now, but as I wont have a working car until next year (I HOPE!), I wont know if this has worked.

160 mph is US spec dial fronts and 180 mph is UK spec dials.
