[Mk2] [Turbo] Adjusting ODO Reading
iv bought a new speed hut cluster, how can i change the reading to my current? Also this is a 180mph cluster and my current one still reads in km.
Will i need to buy some sort of converter?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Adjusting ODO Reading
Apparently theres a place near Yorkshire which can change odo's to whatever you want.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Best off keeping yours at zero, as trying to calculate what was miles to kilometres and what/when/how would look untoward to most.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Easy to explain as,
"Here's my KPH speedo/odo, it reads at XXXXXX, I then put a new one in that reads MPH, it's now up to XXX"

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Adjusting ODO Reading
I fitted 180 mph Speedhut dials to my 180 km turbo cluster, but in order to actually read in mph I then had to fit a converter to the cluster, as it's the cluster that determines whether its reading kph or mph.

The Speedhut dials themselves are just cosmetic.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

It would be worth checking the part number on your new cluster to check which model that is.
If it's a JDM 180km cluster that someone has fitted Speedhut dials to, and the rear of the cluster is unmodified, you'll need a speed converter.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

These are usually either a small pcb panel that is bolted onto the rear of the cluster like this:

Please ignore the black wires as they wouldn't normally be there.

Or you can fit an enclosed converter box by splicing it into the cluster wiring, or I believe splicing it into the ECU wiring.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Hope that helps.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Adjusting ODO Reading
Thankyou very much Paul for your detailed explanation, Its got a little black box on the wiring if i new how to post up a picture I would.
I presume thats what it is will fit it on the weekend and find out! fitting wise should be straight swap i presume?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Adjusting ODO Reading
Yep that little black box is almost certainly the kph to mph converter, so it should be just a straight swap job.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
