JDM cluster help

[K20Fit]

I was thinking of picking up a JDM CB cluster for my 91 CB 4dr from ebay.... What should I be aware of? Is it plug and play? Installation hard?

First of all what year accord you have? It's best to get one that matches your year because it will be less of a hassle on swapping pins. All of them aren't exactly plug and play. If you get the correct year and just plug it in, you will get mixed match lights on your cluster. exp. Signaling left will make your check engine light blink etc. You will have to swap pins or splice wires.

There are 3 different versions.

-JDM 89-90 - This one has a mechanical coil with small breadboard chip fixated on each gauge meter in the back and is definately not plug n' play. You will have to do some splicing of the wires. This is the one you definately do not want because you can't even do a "face" swap without physically taking the gauges apart (not recommended for a 1st timer) it's really hard to do if you don't know what u are doing.

-JDM 90-91 - This one is face swappable onto your usdm accord cluster but you will need to change the VSS? i believe to a jdm one because the cluster doesn't know you have a jdm face on it now. If you max out and go 180kmph on this cluster....be warned you aren't going 110mph....

-JDM Si-T - Aww yes the very rare Si-T cluster comes in the 92-93 form and is face swappable but again you will need to do something about the speed reading.

You can always still do a face swap on the jdm 90-91 or Si-T cluster and get a Apexi-Rev Speed meter and get the correct speed you are going if u don't want to mess with any jdm speed readings.

So that said, it's easier to just do a face swap rather than swap in the whole cluster because u won't have to do any wiring. The only thing you will have to worry about is the actual speed you are going because the jdm speed sensor is different than what a usdm car reads.

May I suggest getting a EDM 220 cluster? Those are direct face swappable and read exactly the same as a US cluster. You can just swap all the internals into your usdm cluster and it will work perfectly.

Kurobei - Thanks for the write up. I always wondered how everyone swaps JDM guages in their accord. Thanks for clearing that up

Lindiz - How much would you let the EDM cluster go for? I will clear out my PM box as well...

Thanks guys for your help!
