You can use your tach.

 

my stock tach only goes up to 8k rpm though, you sure it works?

Mine goes to 8500, yours doesn't, or is 8 just the last actual number?
Also, if you look in my sig, you'll know I'm positive.

That would suck to fit. Size isn't right for an EX. You could use an RSX cluster if you want. I know there are "kits" for this.

 

this sounds like takumi's tach problem. hehehah

somehow it is lol, except it doesn't limit the rpm unless i'm planning to take out the limiter and go past the redline

 

It will work, but if you rev past it, you'll be revving blindly.

 

how far exactly can the needle go over what is indicated?

Mine goes past the 8500 by about a centimeter. I have my cut marked, so I know where it is. That way I'm not blindly revving.

 

so that means after a centimeter past 8500, the needle would stop moving even if i rev any higher?
