What modification and/or wiring is involved in switching my stock 90 crx cluster to a jdm style cluster (teg, civic, etc.) to get the rpm and speed dials higher? And will my warning lights and others work properly also?

hey, i did a 91civic cx to an si swap, and i also swapped the dash boards, you have to make sure you have the proper wiring and the cable that goes from the speedo to the tranny the rest i think is just elecrtical going to the ecu.
but i'm not 100% sure

 

I just swapped a JDM GSR (SiR-G) cluster into my friend's 88 CRX.. There's not to much to it besides rewiring the plugs and adding in an electronic VSS.. Good Luck

 

Whats the difference between the vss's, and how would i go about installing an eletronic one? Also where or what car can i get one from?

 

Yours is mechanical using a cable driven speedo that then creates a pulse within the cluster... The electronic VSS creates a pulse which is then sent to the cluster and the ECU... You will have to find one from a 92+ tranny that is equipped with an electronic VSS... You'll have to rewire it in a bit differently and there are mainy ways to do so... I tapped the power and ground directly off the ECU..
