Sorry about the miss post. I tried sending this from my phone and it didn't work.

I have a DC2r Cluster and i was wanting to know how difficult it was or how to install it into my ED6.

I thought i read somewhere that i need an electronic speed sender? any info would be great.

OK. You can install any cluster as long as you have

1. Original manual detailing your OEM cluster and pinouts
2. Manual from car donating the cluster including pinouts
3. The actual cluster connectors from the donor

If you have these you can then match up the wiring functions from the ED6 and connect to the corresponding wires on the DC2R cluster pins.

Your only real problem is physically making the cluster fit the ED6 binnacle. You will need the Series 2 binnacle (see below) which is more crescent shaped than the original Series 1 binnacle (see below).

... i need an electronic speed sender?

You will need a VSS out of any EFI Civic 1992 onwards. This will need to be adapted to the ED6 gearbox and wired into the loom.
