I got a Guage Cluster for an EF Civic. I have a 91 Civic DX Hatch back. I think i got am 89 CRX cluster with tach. Will this be compatible with my Civic?

 

yes it will plug right in - only diff will be the milage may have to match it up....

yes only 90-91 clusters will be plug and play


&lt;----has 2 90 -91 clusters w/ tach for sale

 

How do you know its an 88-89 and 90-91 Cluster. What is the difference?

 

obviously the plugs

 

Other than that. Is there something cosmetically on the faces or on the front of the cluster that I can tell them apart.

 

itll work, jsut have to redo pins to match the cluster... pinout diagrams can be found here...

you would also need an 88-89 cluster cover

no it wont fit cuz of the plug.. but you can modify your plug... by buying a 88-89 plug...

or you can sell that and just buy a 90-91....

 

This is my daily driver, so I dont want to take too many chances. I think I will just buy one I know for a fact is out of a 90 - 91. Thanks.

i dunno if i jsut have 2 clusters that are different from the one your thinkin of, but i have a 90 si cluster and a 88-89 zc cluster sitting next to me and they both use the same plugs. just with different pinouts

 

if its more round then its a 90-91 if it looks like a shoe box its a 88-89

 

Too much misinformation going around. Holy shiite!

88-89 and 90-91 are different.

Why?

Because they are wired differently.

Do they have the same plugs?

Yes.

Will the tach work once you have it wired correctly?

Yes. Pop the tach cable VSS? onto the cluster.

Is it hard to re-pin the factory wiring harnesses that plug in the cluster?

No, just follow the diagrams for the 88-89.

HF and SI should be the same.

 

ha thats what ive been saying all along
