How do you put a tach in a 92 honda civic HB?

take it to a shop people on here will just screw you up

You are not Paul Walker and the Fast and the Furious was a movie. Don't buy an exhaust pipe, tail or racing stripes that makes your car sound or look fast either. Save your money.

Duct tape and cable ties.

well first you dont need a 5" tach because I am sure your factory one is fine, maybe a tach shift light but only if you are serious about drag racing and is faster then 12's in the 1/4, please dont hit the rev limter for 5 mins so everyone can see your face glowing in the dark. Buy a Helms or Clinton book for your model 1992-1995 look at the wiring and do the same for the tach and try honda-tech.com

well first u need the tac... and i must say i do have a honda HB... there pretty quick if u do them right.... but like the others said dont put the stupid exhaust tip or anything... my best bet to u though is by the tac and then take it to a shop and have them do it

You could either change out the gauge cluster for one that had a tachometer built in (Si HB, EX coupe or sedan, or a VX one). There should already be a plug behind the stock one that will plug in to the new cluster to make it work. The other option would be to get an aftermarket one. Then you just wire it up as the instructions (that will come with it) tell you to; constant power, ground, dash light, and then the signal wire (Blue wire on the distributor).Edit: mishi h is right, except it IS the big blue wire that you tap into. That is the Engine Speed Output wire, it's on the separate plug that has 1 other wire on it (since the '92-'95 distributor has 2 plugs, instead of 1).

If you look on the harness for the distributor, it is the green wire. Sometimes it looks blue (not the big blue one). For the hot and ground, use the fuse box for a hot lead , and you can ground it to something metal under the dash.
