guage accuracy with swaps

has anyone had problems with it? is there a way to recalibrate something within the system in order to make the stock accord gauges work with a h22 ecu? cause ive looked at the prelude gauges, and of course theyre totally different than the accords. im hoping something can be done to adjust them because i really dont want to drive around with those damn pillar gauges.

what about finding a way to put lude guages in ur car?

yea, ive thought about that, but the gauges look way different.

92-96 prelude

ive considered trying to use the gauges from the 97+ models, but ive never even changed my stock gauge, im sure trying to fit some from a different car will only be harder.
has anyone done or seen before?
btw, heres what the 97's look like.

What about a new cluster entirely? Maybe it wouldn't fit though?... I was gonna say, the 97+ Prelude guages look identical to the 5th gen Accord's setup. Hey, at least you've got an H22a! I wish I could say I was having problems "getting the correct guage setup to work with my H22 swap" :biggrin: This is a pretty popular swap, I'm surprised there aren't more people with your dilemma speaking up.

hey strodda, the guages shouldn't be effected by the swap, mine werent, the only thing that is different is that the rpm needle goes in the red now, i'm not sure if thats what ur tryint to fix or not though. but there shouldn't be any calibration issues

i know about the tach going past redline now since it does have a higher one than the f22. i meant, will read accurately because the numbers on the stock gauges and the prelude are at different positions?
do you have some sort of controller that you can test the accuracy of the stock gauge with the h22?

that doesnt have anything to do with it. yes the numbers are in different places, but if you are going 80, its gonna say that on the cluster. and I do know someone did a 97+ lude cluster into his 5th gen. only cause he had the entire prelude front clip though, no reason to do it.
