the blue wire behind the cluster is the tach wire easier than trying to connect it to other things in the engine bay...

Well its the blue wire behind the cluster in the 13 pin plug unless the previous owner cut it from that plug anyhow thats the wire you want to tap into i wouldnt go and cut it just strip off some of the covering and wire it that way just in case when you get a ex/si cluster or something and you dont wish to keep that tach you can easily fix the wire.

I think all civics are pre-wired for clusters with tachs, but ask around to make sure.. My 96 Cx doesn't have a tach as well so I grabbed a cluster with a tach and it's plug and play.

your correct i think the 88-91 dose have a wire for the tach but definately the 92-00's are all prewired for the tach and all will have that blue wire behind the cluster
