Recently put these in so i figured i'd do a write-up.


You'll need to either rewire or re-pin your connectors, or you can get some integra connectors and re-wire that way.

Here are the conversion charts.
B conn.-16 pins

C conn.-civic, D conn.-integra, 13 pins

ABS

Cruise control


for the SRS control, if you have the integra connectors, just switch the wires so they match (blue>blue, yellow>yellow) the black wire is a ground and stays the same.
if you only have the civic connector just reverse the wires(yellow>blue,yellow>blue). this is important as it can burn out the SRS module if wired wrong.

To mount them, you'll need some plumber's strap, a few screws, and 2 machine screws with nuts. i spent under $5 for everything.

You'll need two lengths of plumber's strap to go from the top of the cluster to the upper mounting holes, use the screws to attach them into the vents on the top of the cluster, then screw them into the upper mounting holes. for the sides you'll need two more pieces to go from the side-mount tabs to the lower mounting holes. use the machine screws with the nuts to attach the strap to the tabs and re-use the factory screws in the mounting holes. to get it to sit straight simply push it around until it sits where you want it, the plumber's strap will bend and hold it there. taking the clips off the dash trim makes it easier not to break it when taking it out repeatedly. when you get it to sit straight, replace the clips and screw the plastic dash trim in.
Now sit back and enjoy your new gauges.

very nice, I would like to put those in my ej1, but that would be a major pain in the ass :lol:

it's actually not that bad, the cluster i have was already cut to fit an eg/ej so i had to modify it a little to fit in the ej8, but all you have to do is cut the plastic hood piece with the lights in it all the way off and it should fit. the wiring is tedious but not too hard. if you happen to try it and have any questions feel free to ask.

hmmm, I may have to try that then if it's not too bad to get in there. I've always liked those clusters

me too, the tach is easier to see, and overall it looks much better in my opinion. i love the red needles, they look great at night.

What year integra gauges would you use for a 93 dx body. And did the gauge just fit in right, and you just had to re-wire them. and did you just cut the civic wire and re-wire the integre plugs to them.

you'd need a cluster from a 94-01 integra, for ej1's/eg's you'll need to cut off the plastic piece with the lights on it so it will fit in there, the one i got was already cut which sucks cuz i put them in an ej8, but i made it work. as far as the wiring, if you don't get integra connectors, you can just re-pin yours, the wires should just push out of the connector and then you can move them around. i had the integra connectors so i cut and spliced, but re-pinning is a cleaner way to do it.

94-01 integra,all 92-00 civics use the same cluster for the swap, it just needs to be modified to fit in ej1/2s. as far as changing the mileage i'm not sure, i tried changing the mileage when i installed a different cluster before i did this swap and broke the odometer, so i just left this one alone.
