Recalibration of Speedometer

[Kazuo]

What is the process for our analog speedometer?

Is it something very technical?

[Dh15]

What's wrong with ur speedometer in the first place bro?

u must haf changed ur rims bah? for mine its abt +/- 5km/h..according to the gps speed vs my speedo

Hi,

 

did you buy a 2nd hand speedo meter online but the mileage is calibrated to be in miles instead of km?

 

the speedo calibration shld stay as it is, u just have to mark out and calibrate manually the proportionality between 0 - 140mph and 0 - 240km/h.

 

for the mileage calibration, you can read up your car's reference manual. if i remember correctly, its either you remove or add a gear to compensate the miles to km conversion.

[Kazuo]

Thinking of the possibility of changing to a different face plate.

 

Where the starting mark is different.

[Kazuo]

No $$ for GPS leh.. hahaha...

[Driftk1ng]

Why Do you want to do that? Is it because of fixing or changing engine?

For me i change the plate of the numbers. With supercharger my top speed can go beyond 160 so I have to change that.

[Kazuo]

You mean do marking on the speedo itself? wah... not nice leh.

[Kazuo]

Supercharger?

 

Bro, changing the plate don't make your speedo limit go higher leh...

Did I misunderstand what you trying to say?

 

Putting a 300km/hr at the 20km/hr mark just do make me hit 300km/hr within 1 sec.

[So_nice]

u buying the white face dials from ian huh?

[So_nice]

with supercharger then can go beyond 160? lol..i think the old na engines in the starlets can clear the speedometer with or without any form of force induction.

[Kazuo]

no la... I don't even know he selling. haha...

 

His one should be a direct fit, no mod needed.

[So_nice]

oh u getting the ep82 one huh? u can simply get any of ur frens wif the nokia gps phone to test the speedometer. or ask saber see wat he can help u wif bah

[So_nice]

if we were to fix the ek4 seats onto our car, do u think its possible to make use of the electric function?

[Kazuo]

Anything is possible ba... just a matter of how much it will cost.

 

EP82 speedo is running on digital signal?

[So_nice]

erm..u haf a pic of ur speedo? maybe can share. curious how it looks like.

what rubbish u spew.

 

without toy electric fan like urs, my 1086cc korean car can already exceed 160. i logged 164 on my GPS. the speedo read above 170km/h.

 

the 1.6 version of my ride can go above 190, if not 200, when stock.

 

so i think u need a REAL supercharger. better save up more money my boy!

bro... so much trouble for a cosmetic mod that nobody can see?

 

anyway GPS speed is not 100% accurate. it doesn't account for 3-dimensional variables. it measures your "horizontal speed", but roads are never 100% flat, and GPS doesn't take that into account.

 

but i guess it's the closest you can get unless you get it electronically calibrated.
