Or any Euro or JDM cluster from an EK Civic (96-00) will all work the same. Plugs & wiring are all the same for the speedo & cluster (some don't utilize the SRS or cruise control lights but that's besides the point).

Most people on here hate it, but it suits my purpose. I swapped an EX cluster, but in the middle of the dyno run, I wondered why my tach said 7600 and and the dyno only was up to 6950. Then I dynoed while watching the VAFC and saw that the tach was more and more off as the RPM's went up, so I went and invested in an Apexi tach and now everythings all gravy.

the si cluster's redline is later than the H22 redlines at (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Redline for an H22 is about 7200 rpm...which is right around where an ex cluster redlines.

This is true. BUT as long as you remember it, you're golden. The Si one looks SOOO MUCH better, IMO. Kenlude used my pic AGAIN! that's my Si cluster, and it works awesome. I recommend that one.

The Si looks cool, but I personally like this one the best out of the EK's (well, besides the $1000 Spoon cluster )



Pulled that one out of the archives. I like the black faces with orange numbers and needles. We had a few of those come in and they sell like hotcakes (that and because we sold them for "crack-ish" prices

I agree, that does look the coolest, but for me, using mine for a daily driver, I didn't want to always have to convert MPH/KPH. just personal preference i guess.

Default Different swap... Re: (EK22Tim)

NICE. Are all the lights internal to this cluster? I've got an '88 with a '93 H22A going in and naturally I need the electric speedo. I like the SI one better...

Related question: Does anyone know how to roll the speedometer forward? I don't really want to wreck the title if I don't have to...

The H22 redlines at 7500, but they make a tremendous ammount of power all the way to 8000. I shifted mine at 8200 when I got a new ECU. I just kept my stock tach in my '97 coupe. I wanted it to look as stock as possible with the exception of 16" wheels and standard fart-can exhaust.

I hear a magic marker works wonders for resetting the tach's "redline"
