Looking for some advice please
Have tried wiring in the electronic speedo converter today from sva speedos ordered from their site using the drop down menus to get the right converter
Have followed their diagram to the letter soldering into the black signal wire,but there is a green wire on the converter with no instructions to wire it to anywhere so this was insulated and not used.
Speedo won't work
Soldered the black signal wire back together and soldered into the green and black signal wire as I found a diagram on here
Speedo works but still reads in kph





Any advice please on where we are going wrong?
Can't give sva speedos a call until Tuesday

Somebody must have done this speedo converter

Any luck with this as thinking about one of these conversion chips for my car?

Just had a email back from the supplier to try wiring it a different way using the green wire and insulate the grey instead,I haven't got time to do it until the wkend so I will post how I get on then

Lol but in the heat of the moment when the police are right behind you and the sat nav left at home,my memory of kph to mph disappears and end up doing 50kph/30mph everywhere

my speedo is already converted but im looking to delimit (for santa pod before anyone asks) - how simple is this? (also a jdm V4)

I had a sticker on the side of the dash with the main increments till I had mine done

The conversion should also delimit it or does it still top out at 112mph?

Ash Webster

tops out at 112 yup

What ecu are you on? afaik the converter should have delimited it but if not you can use an apexi rsm to remove the limiter

Ash Webster

I'm on an ESL board done by Andy Carr, is it as simple as a quick phone call to get him to delimit?

For anybody that needs to know,black wire is signal wire


It works and now reads in mph but according to the sat nav is 2mph out at 30 and 5mph out at 60 but on the safe side but I guess slightly bigger wheels than original could affect that slightly
