The link didn't work for me. This comes up from time to time because some '83's came with an 85MPH speedo. I can easily bury that in one of my 2 '83's that have it, so I think it was only where the speedo went up to. I'm sure both of yours go easily past that too, but do they have the 150 speedo?

Link should work... This does not come up ever... 83's are not governed. I am 99% sure that all USDM 83's came with an 85mph speedo digi, analog, unless someone swapped a later year cluster. The factory 83 analog speedo only goes up to 85 and the digi stops registering at 85 normally... NZDM and JDM 83 style clusters never stopped at 85. I believe they all stop(maybe not) at 180kmh. I reverse engineered the digi speedo logic along with some guessing and found a way to de-limit the speedo all together 299kmh and 299mph possible just turn up the boost. Don't have to add anything, all the functionality was already there just have to undo the USDM logic they added for our cars. But still NO, nobody ever seriously thought their 83 was governed to 85mph...

The link works for me now.

Yes I realize people were joking about it being governed.

Very cool to see you have it to 299. Might need more than boost to get there!

Yes, the CBRII car didn't have the original cluster with it. The one that came with it was 150, but it was not in the dash. I suspect it came out of another car.

oh and i thought it was the salt that trashed the cars???

 

so are you going to do a writeup on how to modify it?

 

Nobody asked until you just now. Didn't seem like anyone cared. I took pictures so when I have time I'll put something together. Got a lot of time into figuring this out and if nobody cared I wasn't going to waste anymore time doing a write up but I will since I'm not a hater like that. Freekin haters. lol
