My Beams Project, I Need more info guys Options

[1soljaslim5]

Hey everyone this is my first post.
I own a convertible 96 celica and my plan for this year is to swap it for a beams engine many suggest i go with turbo but personally i much rather go with n/a power ive seen in the forums countless times the swap done on convertibles and gt models,
but anyways to the point. not sure if anyone has covered this, i do however know it has been done before countless times but i was simply wondering if anyone has done a gauge cluster conversion from the beams st202(jdm) into a st204 gauge cluster (usdm). ive seen a video on youtube and want mine to like that except im not exactly sure what to do if i should remove the rpm white faceplate and gas and temp ton my usdm cluster or if i should simply take out my black mph speed gauge and place it on the st202(not sure if the st202 cluster bolts right up) but yes i need as much info as possible you guys im really trying to get this project come true

if i didnt make sense hopefully this vid will demonstrate what i mean. at exactly 0:54

The electronics on the JDM beams for the cluster will not match with USDM clusters so whatever you do even swapping faceplates will not work, because its still outputting kilometers per hour. Pretty much, its the same concept as slapping on a Turbo sticker and expecting to gain 30Hp when you have no turbo.

I could be wrong it has been a long time since I even looked at a cluster. ( Mines all Digital now....)
