that price seems a little high anything under 200 would be a good deal considering an SI cluster is around 180. Just my opinion.

^ No. Based on the 180km/h speedo *and* the seller's location (SE Asia), the cluster is Japanese. I'm no expert on JDM EK models, so I can't tell you which trim it's from -- but it's likely not from a VTi, as other posters have mentioned. A JDM VTi will have a higher-than-6800RPM redline ... even the 5th Gen ones had a 7200RPM, so 6th Gen was probably even higher.

Sorry, but all usdm clusters by law have to be able to display both kms and miles per hour.....also, usdm clusters didn't have the 180 speedo, Japan did!!!!!!!!

btw OP, i paid only $220 for my CTR cluster...i would say that cluster is worth about $180

It's from an Honda Orthia GX (EL1) with a B18B.

I had one before. They light up amber as well.

I bought mine on YJA and sold it to someone on H-T. You can get them way cheaper than the eBay listing.

Depends on the intended market. The Australian VTi model used a VTEC D16. The B16A model was called a VTi-R in that market.

Yep, all those JDM B18Bs come from Orthias. Or least some of them do. I personally installed one that came from one. had the EK style clutch line still on it.
