JDM Vtec gauges *pics* - Honda Prelude Forum

Updated night pics at the bottom

I installed my JDM VTEC gauges. My current plan is to swap the JDM H22 and use the levelten auto. I might boost it and see what kind of numbers I can get. But I picked up the gauges pretty cheap.

Anyone know what the little S is for? Kinda weird to drive 115 and not pass anyone

It looks like a shift indicator, but it is an automatic...weird

Maybe a service light indicator?

nice looks exactly like mine...i was told that the jdm auto 4th gens came with a sport shift mode that would let the car shift at a later rpm that is what the S is for...how much did you pick yours up for? i got mine for $9.00

maybe the "S" lights up when overdrive is turned off?

what i said is why its there...when in D4 the car will shift at 6500-6900 but in S it holds out alittle more maybe to 7100

red92si · 01-29-2003, 02:56 PM

the use of the "sport" shfting mode would probably on require a JDM autotranny ECU.

alvin · 01-29-2003, 03:31 PM

rig it as a shift light or vtec light

How hard was it to put the JDM cluster in the USDM lude?

Assuming its a Manual into Manual or an Auto into Auto its pretty much plug and play.

i thought the plugs in jdm cluster are different from usdm's , i have a jdm cluster, i tried to install it, but the plugs are diffrent

you just take out the gauge face and cut it to fit the usdm cluster. They are backwards so you have to cut them to fit. You keep your cluster so the mileage stays the same. If you plug the JDM cluster into your dash it will not work "plug and play" style

yes. But not for long.

prelude2005 · 01-29-2003, 07:01 PM

does the USDM have the gear markers for the auto?

I never did know that...

if not then does it move when you shift?

yes it has it in the USDM and it does move down the gears on both.

i have the jdm auto tranny and ecu and i dont have that...i was told that there was a button on the ****er that turned on the sport shift but i dont have that so i bascially have just a reg auto h22...i am able to hold out my gears longer with the D1, D2, D3, D4 though

levelten makes something similar. Holds your gears until you want to change
