Default b16a

ok, i just recently got my 2ndgen jdm b16a dropped into my 93 civic dx. unfortunetly, the dx's dont come with a tachomoter, so im not sure at what mph to shift at. 1st goes to 39 or so, 2nd to 61, but then im not sure what to take 3rd 4th an 5th up to? for any of you out there who have this same engine, would you be able to tell me at what mph you shift at for all these? thanks.

If you dont care about looks you could just go to a junk yard and take one off of a vx or ex. It will work just fine. Just my 0.02

I agree, but if you are a picky guy then you are going to want the guage cluster for that engine.

And if your real picky you might want to know your speed in MPH to drive in the U.S.

Stock USDM Si cluster goes to 9k rpm and even the VX one goes to 8k. More than enough to judge what rpm you are turning.

That's true. I didn't even think about that. Thanx for the correction. nsxmatt is right. You are going to want it to be in mph instead of km/h, unless you are one of those guys that is all about JDM.
