I'm having a little problem and I'm wondering if anyone can help. I recently did an engine swap (gsr head and b20 block) into my 1997 Acura EL. I also put in an SiR cluster. Now my speedo doesn't work. The swap came from a 1996 Honda Civic coupe and it worked perfectly fine. Anyone got any suggestions

If you switch back to your old cluster does the speedo work?

Could be either the new cluster or your VSS (vehicle speed sensor).

If you have a VSS problem you'll have a CEL come on. Are the rest of the gauges working? Did you need to re-pin the cluster... did you do it right, lol? Was there a switch in computers, and everything wired correctly?

I'm getting an engine light, when i jumped the code it came up VSS. The problem is i don't know what tranny i have on this setup. My friend has a GSR tranny that i can part out, but i compared the VSS's and they don't look the same. Are all b-series VSS's the same?

The ECU is from the other car.
All other gauges ( RPM, Temp, Gas ) work
What do you mean by re-pinning the cluster?

B series VSS are all the same, if it's a hydro transmission. They do look different.


Check your plug. My VSS plug was crappy. I would change VSS, I had 2, one type r one b16. Once I changed it, it would work. Then stop everyonce in a while. Finally, I got so furious, I cut off the plug, and pinned it with female pins/clips. 3 or 4 pins. Then soder it together.

Mission accomplished.
