grdwalker Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 after swapping the engine to my esky i've noticed the speedo is out by a fair bit, as an example speedo reads 60 for going actually 50 and 120 for 100, so its not linear, whats the issue likely to be? gauge?

escorted Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If you are runing a type 9 sierra box and an escort speedo it will read about 20 ks out. The best thing to do is find one of those "your speed is" boxes on the side of the road get a reading and have your speedo re-calibrated.

Or pull the speedo drive out of your stock box, then try and get a Cortina 4 speed one with the same colour drive and whack that in the T9. /The stock one might actually fit the T9, but I've never tried lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that not linear? 60/50 = 1.2 120/100 = 1.2 120/60 = 2 and 100/50 = 2 Looks pretty linear to me dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
