Does anyone have any idea if the stock HUD cluster is compatable with the sr20, or if not directly, how hard it is to do, maybe a walkthrough even??

The HUD will work on your '89 only if it is from a KA24DE engined car, but not from a single cam car (no tach function).

Another thing to try is to get the JDM s13 cluster, and recalibrate the speedo using a different resistor on the back of the cluster, and adjust the pot in the cluster thru a small hold drilled in the case. It helps to do it on a chassis dyno, which has calibrated speed. What you wind up with is a cluster which will accurately read 0-180 MPH, and advance the odo in miles instead of km. Looks very slick, and will impress your friends. PM me for details. I have done about a dozen of these for myself, and other very happy s13 owners. Works only on SR20DET, or KA24DE engines - no single cams. Works great when swapping the '89-'90 single cam cars to SR20DET - gives you both a tach that works, and the 0-180MPH speedo. Also works when you have an SR transmission, but no KA speed sensor - it will also calibrate (different resistor) with the SR speed sensor.MACAutoParker, CO

isnt the 115 just a speed limiter on the 5 speed ecu

i am sure the number goes beyond the 115 cause 120kph is like 60 mph
