Has anyone had problems with this after installing? I just installed mines, and the blinkers don't work. Also, in order to turn my car off...I need to push the hazard switch to completely shut the car off??? 
Thanks. |

Wow, Something was plugged in wrong or something, cause I've had mine in for like 3 months and haven't had a problem yet. I think it was the best $75 I have spent on my car, the DIY Thread is the second best thing I did in my life.

do you have to match the tach to your engine? i've got a 95 civic dx with a v tech engine, just wondering if i need to worry about what cluster i get for it?

Just go to a junkyard or wherever it is that you're getting the cluster from and find one out of EX or Si. But i don't think it matters, But those were the only models that came with V-TEC. Some LX models came with a Tach; I think...
Oh, and it doesn't matter if it comes from an Automatic or Manual. The one I used came out of an EX Coupe Automatic. It worked great.

The redline of a motor is computer controlled, so the gauge actually doesn't have much to do with it, after installing the new cluster; if you want a good way to checking is sitting in Neutral and flooring it, until you hit revlimit. you will see the needle bounce. That should be an indication of where Rev-limit is. or you can Wikipedia it; they usually have some good info on there. I believe on Honda-Tech.com you can search specs on your motor and that might give the Rev-limit spec. Now that I think about it bouncing off rev-limit isn't the best way to figure that out... LOL

ok that is helpful, but what's the rev-limit? is that the same as the redline? or is it beyond the redline? all i want the tach for is so i know how far i can safely rev the engine.  |

You don't alway want to bring your car to revline, you want to find out where in the RPM Range your motor stops making power. Now I don't know what V-TEC motor you have; D15B, D16Z6? But My DX; D15B7 stopped making power at 5,500 RPM's; so I set my Shift Light to illuminate at 6,000 RPM's; so when I shifted, and the RPM's dropped for that split second, when I went to put it back in gear, the RPM's had dropped back so I stayed in my power band and I didn't drop out of it, while it was in gear.
Redline and Rev-limit I believe are the same thing. I think my D16Z6's rev- limit is set to 6,500 RPM's, but I might change that with Hondata...

Can you be a little more specific to what you mean "RPM's being off"?

the motheboard on the back gets a certain red from the motor, but was meant for another car, thus actual rpm's and display rpm's being different |
