Quick question abt civic cxi/gli cluster

[b18c7dc2]

Hi guys,

Just got a quick question.

You know how the Cxi cluster (civic 96-99) doesn't have a Rev tacho gauge.

If you put a cluster from a GLi that has one in there. Will the tacho work??? does it already have a tacho sensor in the plugs which would plug into the back of the GLi cluster?????????


Yes/no???????

i've got a CXi civic 99, and want to have a tacho/rev gauge, thus thinking of getting a GLi cluster or maybe Type r one if i can find one! =)

yep get any cluster from a gli, vtir, em1, ej8, ek9, even some crv ones fit. all plug and play tacho will work. u can even swap the odometers around to keep ur k's genuine

Awsome! its stupid how my Cxi doesn't already come with Tacho!!! why would honda have the sensor already there, and not have a cluster with it, ahhhh

Because they use the same under-dash wiring for all the EK variants to save costs. It's not actually a sensor in the dash that reads the RPM. The voltage signal that the tachometer reads comes from the igniter inside the distributor. Have a look at your dizzy and you'll see a blue wire coming from it. This is your tacho read wire :)
