ps what is the sr rev limited to and does the stock turbo pull to then

most of this stuff could be searched, but i'm feeling nice today.

stock SR revs to 7500rpm, stock turbo on stock boost (7psi) runs out of breath a bit up there, but turning the boost up will solve that somewhat don't worry about the speedo, if you're running out of room you're gonna get arrested anyway if you really need to know speed that high, just remember you're revs and what gear you were in and do some simple math or find an internet gear ratio spreadsheet/converter.

as far as gauges, for an S14 you can probably just get an S14 gauge cluster or tach, or (gasp, please don't) get a ricey gigantic tach.

don't forget boost gauge! EGT and oil pressure wouldn't be a bad idea... i'm swapping a '92 and i've already gotten the boost gauge, and plan on getting the EGT by next month...

the S14 tach goes to 8000 anyway no need to replace it it works fine. speedo.. why bother? if your going faster than the posted speedlimit who gives a F? your gonna be screwded if the cops get you or if you hit something anyway so whats the point? besides the untill you ge the speed limiter removed you will only get to 120 anyway.
