    Rpm tachometer!

    I am having a h22a installed into my 93 ex and i was wondering should i get a seperate tach for my rpms since its a different engine? The only reason why I think I should get one is because I have the stock trans and its going to drop out of vtec everytime I shift. Would buying a rpm tach fix this problem?

    The tachometer only shows what RPM your engine is at, it doesn't affect anything else. So it's not really a solution for you, you're probably best of getting a H22 transmission if you want the best of your engine.

      A solution I did is I got a Autometer Pro Shift Lite and installed it on the dash. It is wired to the coil, so that should be accurate if you feel the tach isn't.

        Let's clear this up, are you going to rev higher than the stock tacho will show, and that's what will make hitting VTEC hard to do? If not there's no way any tacho, aftermarket or not, will help you stay in VTEC.

        It's the transmission that dictates where you end up after a shift, if the gears are too tall you may end up below VTEC, but no tachometer will help, only another transmission.

          Yea a tach won't help. You can however get a tuned ECU and have the VTEC engage at a lower RPM.

            The stock tach is often a bit optimistic... so this is good advice.



            Changing the tach won't actually affect performance, any more than getting a new fuel gauge will give you better gas mileage. The tach just tells you how high the engine is revving. The stock CB tach goes high enough to show a stock H22's full usable range. The only benefit to a new tach would be for accuracy reasons, as afi2black has mentioned.

                Buy hondata or get a shorter geared transmission.

                  Would a turbo fix the problem? I have noticed brand new torbo kits for under 1G! What is the highest boost that my engine could hold?
