While I was at it, I installed a Dakota Digital SGI-8 E tach converter, which corrected my tachometer reading 33% high with no apparent latency. Following the wiring diagram above, the tach signal I needed to interrupt is E26 from the RSX ECU and is also conveniently the same color as the tach signal on the Insight harness.

Still need to sort out the temperature gauge. I suspect the sensor is just a varistor, but the RSX sensor uses a different resistance so the Insight gauge jumps from "low" to "overheating" a few minutes into my drive.
I found from these forums (can't remember which) that a company called Modifry (modifry.com) has solutions for swapping the s2000 cluster into various Hondas. I got the AP1 ECT2 module and it works. Still have to program it in for a bit of accuracy, but it works. Lights up 2 bars at startup and 4 bars at 175-180, But he included instructions on how to edit the software.While I was at it, I installed a Dakota Digital SGI-8 E tach converter, which corrected my tachometer reading 33% high with no apparent latency.

Hope this helps.
I have a couple questions and an observation.I actually used the Modifry unit myself to get a 100% working gauge cluster. I've been updating my thread on ecomodder more frequently than here, but it's far less consolidated.

Lately I'm seriously considering doing a K-series conversion to my Insight. My logic: at some point the IMA battery will need to be replaced. If Iecomodder.com
Regarding the A/C clutch, yeah that's how I wired it. I never got it working right and my thought is that I probably have a bad input on my ECU.
Thanks for all your super informative posts. I am jealous of your verbosity.
We can't Use Insight ECU A27 to control the Compressor Clutch Relay coil.
Climate control unit outputs a 5v signal to the ECU (A27) when A/C is requested. ECU (A17) then grounds the Compressor Clutch Relay coil. Compressor pumps refrigerant. ECU A27 cannot be used to ground the Compressor Clutch Relay coil because it outputs a 5 volt signal.
That 5v signal can be used to control a relay which in turn grounds the Compressor Clutch Relay coil. Below I have edited the 2000 - 2006 schematic on Climate Control:

I'm suggesting (and going to try it today) that a relay is added to allow the climate control unit to control the compressor without input from the ECU, since the RSX relies on multiplexing for that function. To idle up the engine when the compressor is turned on, I' wondering why the PSPSW output can be used. Hydraulic power steering is not used on the Insight, as you know. Take any vanilla Civic and turn the steering wheel at idle. Engine idles up. Use that system to idle up the engine upon A/C request.
Please tell me what you think.
Best tank, yes, with careful hypermiling. Average has otherwise been in the low 40's using only gears 1-5, with a lot of short trips and driving in light traffic.66.2mpg???
I ordered the correct shift sleeve. When I spoke with the shop manager at AAMCO, he at first told me that the Accord and TSX 5-6 sleeve were the same, but later got back to me that I was right and we could not use the Accord sleeve.I am a bit confused.
The counter shaft is positively positioned by the spring clip that fits into the groove in the bearing at the top end of the shaft. Did you mean that your input shaft was shimmed incorrectly?
Did you verify that your new? 5-6 shift collar (sleeve) has internal teeth on both sides? Because if it looks like the picture tekcajwolley posted above, it's most likely still going to pop out of gear.
