Welp after monumental issues, and about $2500 worth of work and upgrades later, not counting the $500 for a replacement motor that civicHBsi91 hooked me up with, I still need stuff.

I have a 1997 Civic DX hatch 5spd, without a tac. that's right, no tach. I think alot of my motor issues have stemmed from two things: 1. me driving like I stole it 2. No tac to see when to say when.

I wanna get a tac in there. I imagine I could take the dash set out of another DX er something with a d16y7 and hook it right up, but there has got to be more wiring involved.

So....anyone got a dash? anyone know/have the wire diagram to do it?
Anyone ever done it? Difficult?

thanks AF

dont really get what ur trying to say by take the dash set out but if u mean taking a cluster wiht a tach out of another civic then yes its just plug in.

I've got a 5" tach for sale, it's pretty cool. Let me know if you're interested

how much?

if you just want the Civic EX cluster that works with your car, then you can get it on eBay for around $80 shipped...i got mine there and the install is really quick DIY job.

kicker have you gotten any of my emails man?

kicker1...'preciate the, now expired, offer...but Im not looking for an aftermarket shift guage, just a simple oem dash cluster.

you guys sure just poppin in an EX dash cluster will work? somehow I think the difference in O2 sensors, no v-tec, and a number of other differences would prohibit such a change. aren't there DX's, or CX's with a tac in the cluster? couldn't I find something like that?

I would imagine that some sort of wire harness or change would be needed, I don't even have a dummy light on my dash, I would suspect there is nothing coming in that measures the rpm's.

difference in O2 sensors, no v-tec doesnt matter the cluster are plug and play. make sure u get teh same gen cluter for ur car

make sure u get a 96-00 cluster. like mentioned already its plug and play.
