does anyone know the wiring connections for the speedo convertor on the back of the gauge pod for KPH to MPH conversion , are there any links to show how to fit a speed convertor to the correct terminals ?

 

cheers people

 

Steve :cool:

on a mission to find out myself, if you work it out let me know. and like wise.

FAQ Section is your friend Converter

if you remove the clocks (last 2 bolts holding them in are behind air con and light pods) and look on the back wiring diagram each is marked, cut and solder signal wire and use one of those blue clips, but make sure connection is good, for live and earth. can take a photo if you like but i need to visit my car first, will get one up here before i start nights.

You only cut signal wire, the Yellow of converter goes to the loom side Green of converter goes to speedo side

 

The red of converter goes to a 12v+ supply and the black to earth

They should be labelled on back of speedmeter printed circuit board

IGN = 12v+ GND = earth SIG = SIGNAL

what colour is the signal wire, as some of the info on my circuit board is in jap?

cheers

The signal wire is yellow/green

Nice cheers for that.

How did you get on with the speedo conversion mate

Just for anyone else who has trouble with this, i'm going to make a post with photos of how i did mine on saturday

Hi, did you post the pic of how you wired in yours, Don't know if im being thick or what but trying to find the signal wire has proven trick. It's been posted that it's the yellow/green wire but there's one on each connector so i went for the one behind the speedo slightly centre of the 2 wiring clips. After wiring into that I tried the ignition and it blow something which stopped all the electrics for about an hour.

 

Any pic or other advise from anyone, cheers.

This is how mine was setup, seems there's a yellow/green and green/yellow, mines connected to the one with the fat yellow stripe.

 

HTH

 

This speedo convertion stuff seems a nightmare or im probably just being thick still!

Is the thick yellow with thin green strip coming from the black or white plastic wiring plug as they both have one?

Cheers

You want the yello/green wire from the loom to the convertor, leaving the other end in the plug. So you need to snip the wire an inch or two from the plug, put a crimp on it so it can be reconnected at a later stage should it need too. and use a bullit connector from the wire (loom end) and connect to the convertor signal.....simples.....

Mark are you the guy in Goring that Atlast met, if so im just down the road in East Preston, and if you want help or advice, im not bad, plus i have a fair bit of knowledge on zeds..

 

Stu

Thanks for that advise, i'll get back on it tomoz.

Hi stu, yes that me down goring. im trying to get to grips with the old zeds. Lovin the car but loads of way more complex stuff than my old CRX mk2. Is yours imported? if so did you convert the dash or remap the ecu? We should do a drive out with millsy and at last some time.

 

Cheers

If your around tomorrow evening, im about, will hassle sean Sean (atlast) to get his Slow N/a out, and pop over, Mines a Uk TT Manual...........

thanks for the feed back.

Hi stu, yes im down in goring, cheers for that sure i'll be picking your brain before long.
