The speedo on your dash will not move no matter how fast you go on reverse. Unless you have a digital speedo or an RSM.

if its on teh old speedo cable ones.. you k's would go backwards means you would be -'ve kmph

the odometer might go backwards on a cable speedo but the ECU only see pulses of 5v. so it measures as forward speed

not true

the VSS sends signals regadless of direction. and its the same signal in either direction

only cable Speedo wont register

jsut 12v the vtec soleniod to kick vtec in.

why not for the hell of it and put it on uptube

Fair enough with that theory. But I don't remember my speedo moves in my EG and DC2 when I reverse my car. I only see my RSM indicating the speed.

I'll try it later after work when I collect my car later. :)

hahha my vtec just kicked in backwards yo!
is there such thing as racing backwards?

how about dyno your car in reverse gear?
:P

Mates done it before.

On a dc2r with i/h/e. Vtec DEFINATELY kicked in.


Reverse gear gets pretty loud at those revs though.

wont that be 'ouch' in the gears? lol
