I have a few questions about the cluster mentioned for these cars.

Nice thing i like is the 9k redline, and 8100 limiter, has the RED needle and a 155mph speedo. For a b16a these are great. I have a XSi Engine in my 91 hatch and i am looking to get this cluster. Was wondering what i need to do to wire it into my system. There will be some changes.

 

if i can recall they are just plug and play. the jdm ones are the different ones. good luck finding one tho lol

 

Yea JDM ones are diff. they have door lights and indicators, really dont like them these are the ones to go with with the red needle and all. looks better

 

The SiR cluster is different in many ways, from the picture of the "VT" cluster from Europe that you posted.

The VT cluster, to operate properly, should have the gauges swapped into a USDM cluster housing to by plug and play, should only take about 10 mins to do. I have one myself. This cluster does not have a dimmer

 

Tell me more this is what i need to knw

I am about to get one and was about to plop it in. I dont know much about.

I do need tach, Yes that is a VTi cluster. EDM. I do not like JDM look. I like amber needle correct corresponding red line limiter ect. send me any info you know on this swap. 10 min for some could be hours for others.. Thanks Joe

 

what do you think over JDM vs. EDM?

 

i believe you may have to re do the speedo gear to get the speedo right otherwise it will read whatever the oem cluster read (like for instance it looks like the 60 mph is in the oem 55 -yellow number spot) maybe not im not sure

 

not what i expected

 

sounds like a good point but im not looking forward to a big overhaul. Im wating to hear back from my friend. On the actual cluster, After i finally got a deal worked out with him and i am ready to pay up, now i m faced with making it work.

I have to remove both faces and insert into mine?

Why wouldnt i use everything i get...?

 

none of this is true

i have already explained the simple mod which takes all of 20 mins, then it's plug and play, there is "no" wiring needed, and it will be 100% accurate

 

Yea i have detailed pics, The cluster looks like it all plugs in. I took my dash apart to inspect the back side of the current DX cluster. or rather STD.

I have cable speedo. That does too. There are 3 connectors and mine has same. So im thinking it is simple.

My question is How does the tach work? this is why i want. and need- is there any hooking up of that?

 

you need an Si cluster housing as already mentioned, it has the proper print sheet on the back, that is what allows everything thing to work. The wiring for the tach is already there, no extra work needed.....you are making a simple thing more complicated than it is

 

i have ef8 cluster connectors/plugs ready. 50 bucks ship to ur door

 

He's is right. It's really easy.

 

If you dont wanna do it, you can sell the cluster to me

 

just the plugs?

 

So on top of what i am buying i need something else. This is $300+?

Buy another cluster. Why wont this just plug in

 

Why is this like a broken record? You need a usdm Si cluster for the housing, lol Why is this so hard to understand, they can be had for $20

If you pay $300 for the cluster, your crazy, i bought one from Europe for $100

If you plug it directly in, no mods, 3 things will be miss wired, and you will have a constant dummy light lit up also, can't recall the other two issues

 

bump for an old thread... i need to know wiring colour functions for crx edm 89-91 with d16a9 engine. im currently swapping a k20 in an will be using a civic eg cluster.

i know the colours for civic cluster but colours dont match with crx and cannot find wiring diagram for edm crx. colours dont match usdm or jdm functions either.

thanks
