    100km/h! how much rpm????

    hi, earlier when i drive a car at 100km/h my tahometer always showed me 3000 rpm. now it shows me 3.500 rpm (if i drive at 90 km/h, when 3000rpm). how much rpm do you have? by the way, i didn't changed wheels; i changed speedometer from another accord and speedometer cable. and the milage is terrible of course, for example: i have driven minimum 650km but my speedometer shows 560

    maybe the A series speedo is different from the B20?? like the a20 could say 220kph while the b20 says 180kph or something

    Did you swap in a cluster that Measures in Miles vs Kilometers?

    Cuz 1KM = 0.6 Miles
    2004-2011?
