you need to have the ecu flashed or if you have a hand held tuner you can adjust the settings yourself

If you're reading the speed off the odometer, it'll never be right. Besides that, what Nicole said.

I just spit my water out on my keyboard. Thanks for that.



OP, you changed the gearing of your powertrain system. Of course the speedometer will be off. You need to get the ECU flashed as has been said.

With the handheld, you can select which gears you have to adjust the PCM. You may as well order a custom tune with a the handheld tuner and pick up some significant RWHP. And if you ever change tires/wheels, you can adjust the tire revs/mile with the handheld,too.

His Portuguese to English Dictionary might have misled him, it appears he is in Sao Paulo Brazil.

I have a 3.73 gear now in my 92, and have not installed the speedo gear kit. My mph are only off by 3mph, according to my GPS. I'm running 62 when the speedo says 65, if my gps is right.

^^ The speed at my odometer is too much different, when I am at 130 kmh / 80 mph (by the GPS) the odometer shows that I am at 180kmh / 110 mph, and the car cannot go faster than this.
