MID Install

if you got a new VSS you'd need a new cluster as well.

Unless you don't care to monitor your speed.

Damn, looks like I will have to get the following then :

- Electronic VSS
- Cluster
- cluster shroud (since I have a squarish 88 rex)

In that case, you have a few options:

1: Read post #19 above
2: Yoshi has external VSS units that attach to your axle for sale as well. Might be much less hassle than swapping everything out.

I know on my HF tranny I couldn't get the cable VSS out for the life of me.

Sorry Matt, totally skipped over post #19.

I would much rather prefer to try this out before going ahead with a cluster swap and all of that nonsense.

My MPFI swap parts are almost all together, just have to find some injector plugs and other small pieces.

It's almost torture having the SuperMID in my posession and not being able to install it, it will just make the pay-off that much sweeter I guess.

on the back of the cluster there is a terminal that gives an electronic signal relative to your speed. It gives it in pulses, I believe 4 per revolution.

Many people have said it wouldn't work for a SuperMID, but none of them have tested it. It was my original intention to test it before I bought the Honda Fit.

I would test this before going crazy with everything else.

That being said, I don't think that the SuperMID can work on a DPFI engine/ECU. It assumes four injectors. DPFI has one primary injector and one secondary injector.

Pardon my ignorance but how would I go about finding this terminal?

Ok..sorry to dig up an old thread..but where did you buy all this from premade?

I found where there was the DIY to make the whole unit yourself...but I'm not that technically inclined to do that big of a schematic or circuit.

What work would be required to make it similar to a ScanGauge?

What was the cost? ..is it competitive vs a ScanGauge for MPG purposes or would it be easier/cheaper just to get the SGII?
