Default Tach problem for a B18C1 into EG Hatch..

I'm swapping my B18C1 into an EG hatch and there's only one problem...The tach..I was thinking of swapping my whole GS-R Gauge cluster in, but not sure how difficult that would be. I sure as hell don't want a 5" monster tach.. Any suggestions?

get an Si or an Ex cluster. they plug right in and have a factory tach. you can use the gs-r cluster but have to re-wire the snot out of the cluster plugs.

A 92-95 EX/Si cluster will be a direct bolt in with no wiring or modifications. The GSR cluster will not bolt in and must be modded to work which usually looks pretty ghetto. The plugs are different and the pins can't be repinned from one plug to the other since they are a different size. You would also need the GSR plugs with some wire then splice them into your existing chassis wiring
