The older models do. I had a older model (VSD Basic) I had in my 180sx when was in Japan that only showed speed and rpm. Then I had it in the Z and it only showed speed projected on the windshield with a piece of tint. But the VSD X has ALOT more features and has it's own lil screen it projects on.

Well done sir. The PowerLab kit (and other singles) are so much easier to do a DIY install vs twins. Maybe I missed it, but what kind of numbers are you putting down?

Dish on the specs of the 180 too please

No numbers yet. Still have a few things to finish up then get it somewhere to be tuned with the UTEC. I'm in PA so...
But yeah I was stationed in Iwakini (5 years) and had a 95 black top
SR20. I did all the usual upgrades except for cams and bigger turbo then I got orsers back stateside and decided to part it out and left the engine to one of my boys, which I regret... But it was up there running a few other tuned sil-80s, S14s, S15s, my boy had a sick R33 GTSt and another had a Laurell with GTR conversion done.

Jamin, I like the projection idea. I think its cool if the guages were all projected across the lower portion of the windshield.

I'd have to look into that. Can you see the image from the outside? When do you plan on having your tune done? I'd like to see how they smoothen out the idle for you and what your final #s will be once its all said and done

Kudos btw!

Check out the Defi VSD Concept. But ur gonna have to buy the sensors and the Link Control unit separate. Yeah you can see the image from the front. Plus it has let's for shift lights etc. As for the tune I'm planning as soon as possible after I finish up. I contact Dave @ FT but they are kind of far so I might have to rent a trailer and tow it with the Armada. Plus i might have to take some leave. Can't wait for that to happen.

Most definitely. I'll look into the VSD concept. I'll have to price them and see how much it comes out to.

Obviously I would have to custom mount this bottle. What about the pumps? Will these just fit right in?

Getting a reflash done this week. Hopefully this smooths the idle etc. Also waiting on a different size resonator for my exhaust from AAM. It was hitting the drive shaft. Will see how this fits/sounds. Will post another video as soon as I get it set up.

how do you guys think a resonator would affect performance an a turbo application for both low and high boost?

I realize I have no room. I have PS fluid and oil coolers up front on each sides. No space for the bottle.
