Wire up civic 07 rev to kalos?

[thehunterooo]

According to the article in the link below, this is what the car (Civic type R) that will make it to U.S. might look like power wise

The prototype car shown, modeled on Honda’s JDM/ASEAN market Civic sedan, incorporates a 2.0-liter iVTEC engine giving nearly 220 horsepower, along with the usual suspension and appearance modifications

Here's the whole article if you wanna read more about it... http://www.zercustoms.com/news/2010:-Ho ... to-US.html

And here's another one of that sort from AutoBlog: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/27/hond ... a-in-2010/

they forgot to mention its only about 180 hp at the wheels at 9000rpm or so, and maybe 120tq if they are lucky

i am interested to see what you can do with the gauges, those seem like they would be costly but i always loved the idea of swapping in such gauges where the stock ones are at now, or more or less if they will fit in easly, a 3rd gen aveo cluster would make my day

The european version has that little... the JDM version is well above 200 WHP... look around, hunter... they have to "wind down" the power when they bring it out of country for whatever reason...


As for the gauges, I think blue gauges will still look good even with all-white lights...

well plus any car that comes to america has to be dumbed down to meet emission requirements as our country by itself is causing global warming

i want to find out the size of the holes of the cluster for gauges like these, wiring them up is a different story though

wiring them up shouldnt be to hard. wiring diagram should do the job...
if not open up the cluster and take it alll apart, follow the lines back to the relevant lil coil motor thingy for the speedo, tacho, fuel ect ect
thats it..
if u wana b pro u can get a voltage reader to confirm the power is increasing for the tacho b4 u connect the wires..
the pods i have have a 95mm gap inside.

i hooked up a sunpro tach after splicing apart every white wire on the harness lol, rpm gauge is a piece of cake, the speedo is a different stroy though, still gotta measure out the factory gauges

LOLL jokaa.. that sounds like something i would doo heheheh...
you should of just diccoennected the plug and poked the wire through the connector where it would join up with the stock clusters...

Also, just because you got the speedo wire doesn't mean it will be instantly calibrated... you might need to even go as far as taking off the needle and putting it in the correct position... (if it has one) - if it's electronic - good luck...

its electronic...
man u jus like.. shatttered my dream LOLL...
but im sure they must hav an auto calibration system sumwere within it... as its digital there mus b away to digitally calibrate it..

i hope.. [-o<

ive never understood how those things work

at least i could hook up that super hot rpm gauge

and put some NOS stickers on your fenders... and a "Type R" vinyl on your hatch window...
