ok, despite your lack of searching skills, I'll help you out. For that engine, the best bet is to try to find a gauge cluster from a 5spd LX. The LX has the same engine as the Dx, but comes stock with a tach. Since its the same engine, the redline on the gauge will be accurate for the engine. You could also put the gauge cluster from an EX in there, but the redline on an EX is about 300 rpm higher. The redline listed on the tach would be 7100rpm I believe, but the actual redline of the engine is only 6800 rpm. If you don't pay attention and take it all the way to that redline, you could possibly do some harm to the engine. As I said, your best bet is an LX cluster.
