So I dont want to change my gauge cluster because I found a mint 1 owner 2000 EJ6 with only 95k on it. but it didnt come oem with a tach in cluster. I have an autometer tach that has been in a couple race cars of mine on the pillar per usual but I was hoping for something less obvious for this car. starting a bit of a sleeper project. hopefully only the eye for stance would give it away. new york city civics get snagged by people and the cops a lot. looking for a 10k tach that will tuck into a cluster mount or something similiar and not be right in the windshield. recomendations?

thanks!

Ebay?

 

-swap cluster for one from an EX
-swap original speedometer head into EX cluster to retain mileage
-?????
-Profit!

Only problem is the OEM tachs only go up to 9k, although relativistically you wont be revving that high anyway.

 

2 inch (52mm) 10k tachs on Ebay.

 

thanks I hadnt thought of putting my speedometer assembly into an ex or si cluster. that is probably what I will do. even with a 230 horse all motor b18 I didnt run it past 9k.
thanks!!

I bought a Stack tach and mounted it inside the stock cluster.

Here's my link to the install

I saw it in a issue of Honda Tuning

like this a 3 3/8 pro comp 5161. i had to take of the other ring cover cause it wouldnt clear the plastic.

there should be a few in dash tachs from autometer too. look like they belong there. dont know if you can find one you'll like though.

 

look into an afc unit on craigslist or something. you can get it for a few hundred or less. i got my apexi vafc2 for 120. about the same cost of a high quality small gauge except you can make custom tachs and revs.

 

thanks for all the input;
snagged an Si cluster off of ebay and going to swap in my speedometer.
9k is plenty for now and its the most stock looking option.

 

thats cool man but honda are notorious for inaccurate tachs at high rpm thats why i changed mine.

 

yeah I noticed in my last B18C civic that the autometer 3700 I had read differently by about 500 RPMS above 5K than the stock EX tach that came with it. it was a 93. hopefully the 2000 Si tach is a bit more accurate than a 93 ex. maybe a comparison is in order when I get it.
