Flight experience doesnt expire. If the time is dual given by a CFII,
then that time is loggable towards the eventual completion of an
instrument rating.

61.109(a)(3) 3 hours of flight training in a single-engine airplane
on the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to
instruments...

You can find numerous DE opinions (google groups) saying that is not
equivalent to:

61.65(d)(2) A total of 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument time
on the areas of operation of this section...
