power
ground
& B15 at your ECU

have a nice day.!

 

little more help i got the power ground part! & B15 at your ECU?

 

That is the ECU pinout wire that you need to splice into. Check the Helms manual for it, or go to:
http://b16a.honda-perf.org/theswap.html

 

i herd even on the dx that there is a wire in the plug for your guage cluster for a tack even though its not being used? is this true has anyone herd of it can i splice in there!!!

 

splice into the ECU, at B15 i have it there no problems..
trust me!

 

If you get a gauge cluster from an Si of the same dash style ('88-'89, or "90-'91), it is plug and play. I have a '91 Si cluster in my '90 STD hatch.

 

TACH....not TACK

 

OK, since you don't want to goto B15, wire it up to the negative side of the coil, or, run a wire to the distributor. Goto http://www.autometer.com and they should have instructions there, as well.

 

ok ill go ecu i just dont think i have enough wire to go that far and what is b15 i know its a wire but witch one im a newbie to wiring! and i will go to my coil but where is the wire!!!!

 

I recommend not getting a monster tach if that's what you're thinking of, not that you asked or care. I just wanted to give you some food for thought before you spend the money.

A). They're overkill
B). They scream Break in to my car
C). They're annoying after about 3 weeks of driving because they're overkill.
D). They give the V8 guys something to laugh at you for even though your car uses a lot more of the tach than most of theirs.

That's just my opinion though. Pretty much everone that I know that isn't driving a rice mobile or a race car has gotten rid of them. They're just a little too flamboiant (sp).
