So it’s a direct swap into 92-95 gauge cluster? No wiring? Because I have a 94 civic Hb and wanted to swap in the Omni power tach w/ shift light. Problem is they ONLY make this tach for 96-00 Civics. Any help appreciated.
@Chris Jeff , thanks for help/reply. (My real name Chris too Lol) . Yeah been in the Honda game many years but never did ALOTTA of EG swap stuff mostly CRX’s . So wasn’t sure on interchange of these parts. Did you actually use a 96/00 tach in your EG cluster? Just don’t want to blow $130.00 on EK tach if won’t work on my EG cluster is all.
I need to know if the EK rev counter from cluster works with the 3 connection bolds of EG. Eg is hard to fing and I have an EK one. As electric it works normal? ( Will fit as plastic and bolds)
I just. Want to swap in a 96-00 Civic Omni Power tach w/ shift light into my 94’ EG HB gauge cluster . (They ONLY make Omni Power tach for 96-00 Civics) So is it a direct screw in? Is it compatible with my EG plugs ? Or do I need a 96-00 tach plug pigtail? Thanks in advance
I completed the si cluster swap in my eg re checked all the wiring, at first it worked fine, I turned the lights on the cluster one day and it started smoking a little behind the cluster, changed the bulbs out from a different cluster, turned the lights on and it was fine, turned them off and back on and the tach is the only thing that lights up, if I tap the cluster the rest light up sometimes. Any idea ? Thanks.
Pins C12 (GND) and C13 (+) are for all 5 bulbs behind the cluster and the 2 on the front-top which were discarded when you did the conversion. Make sure the wires are isolated and insulated. Also, check the circuit trace behind the cluster for burn through.
I plugged up an extra 96-00 cluster just now and it worked fine all the lights lit up, I also plugged my si cluster into an ek and it did the same thing in their car only lights that worked was tach and when I tapped on it the speedo lit up then went away, the circuit board on mine looks burnt in spots. Also I noticed the bulbs looked burnt as well, thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
Too much current is what's causing the traces to burn. If tapping the cluster helps then you have a loose connection somewhere in the trace. Check your bulb connectors or the burnt trace spots may be the issue.
That last plug was the additional lighting that was not needed. I cut it off and did not want bare wire exposed so I heat shrunk them with a single heat shrink tubing. They are not to be connected together.
Only problem i see is odometer discrepancy, only IF you were to sell it eventually.. otherwise, good video! (note: if doing this mod --a certified speedometer shop can legally reset your new replacement to old mileage)..
