Guest Irish Supra Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Does anyone have, or know where i can get a 180mph speedo face? I have a mph face on the supra, but it is only up to 130ish, (the car is still on the jap limiter). Im thinking of getting it delimited, but will need a 180 face??? Has anyone got one left over from a white dial conversion maybe??? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 When you get the converter chip fitted you get a MPH Sticker to go over the KMH. Your max speed of 180KMH then becomes 180MPH. Fast enough i feel..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Irish Supra Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 no, what I mean is the speedo face on the car is in MPH to around 130. So I need a 180mph face... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 if I'm reading this right then what you have is the simplest (and nastiest) type of km/h to mph speedo conversions: A completely new dial face that is calibrated in MPH. The J-spec speedo face goes up to 180km/h (112mph), and the needle goes all the way around. Instead of changing the signal that goes into the speedo so that the dial reads off mph on the existing face, your importer has changed the whole face. If you delimit your car, your needle will literally go off the scale. What you need is a combined speed delimiter / speedo converter from Mr. Betts (who I'm sure will make an appearance shortly). This will delimit the car AND convert the speedo input signal to read off MPH on a J-spec KPH dial face. If you have a look under your 120MPH dial face you may be lucky and find the original J-spec face under it. If not, you will need a new J-spec dial face that reads up to 180km/h. All that you need to do then is fit that, and put an MPH sticker over the KPH legend. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Irish Supra Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 @ Darren. Thats exactly the situtation im in. But I dont have the jap face underneath (99% sure anyway). Can anyone help with a 180 face??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 It may not be a dogey conversion, I know there were some MR2's that had genuine 120MPH speedos. I think it may be to do with the year, did Japan change from MPH to KPH in 92ish perhaps??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Actually Darren, if he de-limits the car the speedo will be dramatically under-reading, to the tune of 5/8ths. Mine came with this sort of speedo face, and as a rough compromise there will be a kph "inner ring " which, if a Pete Betts de-limiter is fitted will then read in mph. I got a replacement speedo face from Supraman in Meopham, Kent, about £30-40 but it took weeks and weeks and I only worked a mile from his garage, let alone the emerald isle. If Irish Supra combines the delimiting with a white, or neon, dial upgrade it will probably be quicker although more expensive. Hope that helps.

Mark Kindell Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Speak to Justin at http://www.torqueic.com/ I had the same as you he sold me a lovely 200 mph white speedo face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working on the assumption that at the moment he has no 5/8 divider in the circuit. If he keeps the same dial face and puts a divider in, then yes the speedo will under-read.
