Is it a good a idea to keep speedometer stock after mods?

[Reelax]

that is gorgeous... much better looking then just the numbers.. very nice... im gonna be looking for that everywhere now

here's a closer look:



it starts up then reads speedo then switches to tacho when the speed is zero for more than a few seconds. it automatically switches back to speedo when you move again.

nope, it's not connected to OBD at all. it's connected to the fusebox/ignition switch for power, the rpm signal wire for the the tach and the speed sensor wire for the speedo. it's not plug and play like that but it's not too hard... you gotta take your gauge cluster out to tap the wires from the stock harness going to the stock gauges.

here's the installation instructions:

....not tryin to be an ass but i hit 120 when my car only had a cai and an exhaust on the highway..mind you it was slightly downhill not much but slightly held it there for a good while too. our cars arent too bad im almost positive i can clear 170+ right now just from how fast my speedo maxxes out when i hit the throttle but ill test it in a proper location with the right precautions taken in advance..like in front of the statey station lol.

no i'm saying only the first page worth of instructions is what needs to be followed, unless the kit comes with all of that stuff? I'm not that informed on whats behind there....

Your car can not normaly get to that speed unless you add a gear, remove the rev limit or swap engine. Removing rev limiter is very bad, since you don't want the engine going overspeed.

o i think i understand now. you were looking at the wiring diagrams and were intimidated by the "When the Defi-Link Display VSD CONCEPT is used WITH a connection to the Defi-Link System". for the HUD (VSD CONCEPT) you don't need to connect the DEFI-LINK system, refer to "When the Defi-Link Display VSD CONCEPT is used WITHOUT a connection to the Defi-Link System". the DEFI-LINK system is for other sensors and gauges (boost, water temp., oil press., exhaust temp., etc.) and the DEFI-LINK display (multi display)... that gets much more involved. the VSD can stand alone without the DEFI-LINK. the bigger wiring diagram with all the other components is if you want to use the DEFI-LINK.

one member here did use the DEFI-LINK system with his VSD CONCEPT since he was turbo v6 on his 8G. look up DRYBEAR:

Looks good.. I'll probably be sticking to the HUD, and a Guage for Pressure - NOS, Oil, and A Tacho with light, just for show mainly...
