Can you change your boost gauge to read PSI without changing your speedo to read MPH?

Hey, came across a video online where I saw the owner had his boost readings in his R mode dash come up in PSI while his speedo was in KPH. For me, it reads Kpa and I have no idea how to change this setting. I've searched everywhere for it in the user manual but couldn't find any information. Thanks.

I've asked Grok to research, apparently this mixed unit display is not possible on AUS models, only Canadian:

The boost gauge on the FL5 Civic Type R is tied to the vehicle's overall unit system, which is region-specific and not independently configurable for individual gauges. Australian models come preset to metric units (KPH for speed, kPa for boost pressure), and there's no built-in setting to switch just the boost to PSI while keeping the speedometer in KPH, doing so would require a global imperial switch (MPH, PSI), but that's not an option on AUS-spec cars.

From Honda's design, the instrument cluster and LogR app pull from the same ECU data, so units are consistent across the board. If you dig through the infotainment settings (Home > Settings > Vehicle > Meter Setup) or hold the right selector wheel on the driver info interface while on the unit change screen, you won't find a toggle because AUS models lack it

Canadian-spec Honda Civic Type R FL5 (and potentially other North American-adjacent markets like Mexico) appears to support a mixed unit setup where the speedometer displays in KPH (as required by local regulations for primary speed units) while the boost gauge reads in PSI. This isn't a user-configurable mix, it's how the factory dash is programmed for those regions to balance metric speed compliance with the performance-oriented PSI convention common in US-influenced markets.

Thanks a lot for the reply, that makes so much more sense. Unfortunate for us Aussies lol
