Default cluster swap

I did a search but coudnt find anything. Anyways I have a 89 honda civic dx hb. My car never came with a tach. I found a cheep cluster out of a 89 crx HF. I was wandering what all do I need to know to do the swap and if there is anything that I will need. Will the plugs that I have on my dx plug into the hf cluster? Do I need to run any wires? Do I need to repin the ecu? Oh yea Just in case you didnt know I have dual point injection.

I took out my 91 dx hatch cluster and inserted a 91 si hatch cluster and i believe there was one wire to run.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

you don't need to run any wires. just plug it in tach signal is already wired in.

this is true, there was some confusion at first, because the guys who helped as usual went more complicated then simple in thier thinking.

have fun putting in the speedo cable.
