Porsche Speedo
Hi All,
I have a question about porsche speedos...I've got a 914 tach (without silver button) and the matching 914 combo gauge (fuel level, oil light, generator, battery). I'm looking for a speedo now (120 mph). I was going to buy a 914 speedo but the vendor said it would be out by 15% because it was cable driven off of the tranny, and my application was the front wheel. What do you guys think about this ? Which speedo should I be looking at ? I'll be using 235/35/18 (24.5" tall) on the front of my standard. I want the speedo to match the tach and combo gauge. Any help appreciated ! Thanks. Sandeep |
I was told that this was not a problem if it was driven from the spindle. It should be very close. I believe that the accuracy comes from your tire size.
You might need to get the speedo calibrated for your car. to make it absolutely correct. Alex |
Interesting....
If the speedo is underdriven by 15%, then the smaller dia tire might bring it it back to spec..... Now to find a speedo ! Sandeep |
Check ebaymotors. Sometimes they have km/h ones listed.

I've got a 150 mph 914 Speedo in my bug (like I need one that reads to 150 :o ) driven off the front wheel. Using one of the local law enforcement radar carts for a rough calibration, it reads within 3 mph (on the high side) all the way to 70 mph and is dead nuts at 40 mph. My tires are 165/15's for reference. Cheers!

I have a 120mph 914 speedo hooked up to all the stock Super Beetle cables and what-not. Reads exactly like the stock one did. I have 195-50-15 right now, swapping to 205-40-17 soon.
You should have no problems with the 914 speedo at all. |
Thanks for all the replies !
I will try and find one now...must be in mph ! Sandeep |
