ek9 steering wheel

[-[NoS]-]

quick question

can i swap my current eg steering wheel to an ek9 steering ?

[Civic Type R]

no.
ITR wheel yes

[bennjamin]

Correct as above -

ALL EK's will suit the EK9 steerign wheel.

ALL EGs and DC's can use the DC2 ITR 96 non SRS , or the later SRS steering wheel.

i wont have any airbag problems or anything yea
and its all legal right?

current wheel in the civic is airbaged and so is the ITR
so its just a straight swap?

*WRONG*

basic guide -
1.disconnect battery for about 5 mins ( to disable the SRS )
2.Take off side plastic
3.Use a 35 or 40 TORX (star shaped) piece to take off the SRS unit
4.Use a 14mm socket (EK) or 17/19mm socket (EG) to take out the middle nut.
5. slide off the steering wheel , remember the position !
6.slide back on new one , reinstall SRS unit etc.
7. reconnect battery and thats it

Step 1.
Make sure the wheels point as straight ahead as possible !

good point !!! nothing worse than taking off wheel , putting back on to drive off and find its a TINY bit off.

all above are WRONG

you cannot put an ITr wheel on an EG and have the SRS functional

yes the wheel will fit but the SRS will not


eg has SRS ECU on the back of the airbag
ITR wheel has no SRS ECU. ( its bolted on the bulkhead tunnel )

[mocchi]

so what would be the solution if one wishes to have a swap?
how can the srs ecu be used?
eg steering wheel to itr that is.

thx.

[ECU-MAN]

you simply cant legaly do it

[mocchi]

dang! ecu-man u just killed my hopes :( ......................

lol jk :p

[ECU-MAN]

sorry to be the bad news bringer

been there and "tried to" done that

and couldnt do that

if you know what I mean

[-[NoS]-]

well that kinda sucks
hahaha

thanx for the info bro

[Civic Type R]

ECU Man is correct.
Yes the wheel will fit on the spline but it will render the SRS system inoperable. The EK9 wheel will fit on all SRS EK splines and that is legal.
An ITR SRS wheel will fit on all (same shape)Integra SRS splines and its legal.
The EG and Integra share the same spline configuration whereas the civic is transverse.

I also like to add that S2000 steering wheels will fit an EK. Like a glove. All SRS functionality intact. All just plugs in. I've done it, but unfortunately no pictures.

Having said that... won't help with the EG. Sorry.

[-[NoS]-]

s2000 doesnt fit eg's doesnt it

[ECU-MAN]

splines fit, but srs wont work.

there is a diy here fiting the s2000 wheel to a 97 atta lude, even with cruise control :)
