Hey guys Im getting bored of my stock cluster and Ive heard of people changing there clusters on Civics can it be done with Gen2 CRXs???
Nooo! Leave it be!
y leave it be?
I'd like to know this also. I'm guessing it can be done, but the wiring would be a bitch.
Ive got a Type R DC2 cluster in my '91 gen 2(with the round cluster hood cover),dunno whether it will fit if u got the square hood cover.Fits really well,you have to customise the side brackets a bit,but not hard with a pair of tin snips & a bit of creative bending or you could just jam the cluster in with bits of foam to hold it in place nice & tight.

Wiring wasnt hard,you just need to get the plugs to go with the cluster with a little bit of wiring hanging off them,so u can cut & join the original wires on.I could give you the wiring instructions if u want.Ive also got a JDM DC2 VTiR cluster for sale if u want it,just no plugs to go with it,u would have to find someone with a DC2 dash harness spare.
hey man cheers ye ill ned wirein diagram n stuff and some instructions im sooo noob looks pimp tho ill have to but the round thing cos i got a squar one cheers for infoQuote:

I forgot to mention one other thing the DC2 cluster has an electronic speedo,so you would have to replace the cable VSS in your g/box with an electronic one.I dont know whether you can get an electronic VSS for a D series box,maybe off an EG or something,cos i got a B series g/box already.
I have put a speedo drive from a D15B7 ( eg gli ) into a B series gear box and it worked fine.
awsome work btw, looks really nice.
i dunno if ill do the cluster change..... tacho goes up2 8500 rpm myn peaks at 7000 lol damn D series
now rev that d16a to 8500
dont have a D16 anymore dude,its long since been replaced.Quote:

cool work.
might kinda forget u're in an EF looking at tat cluster while driving hehe.
question: when doing cluster swap. are u able to adjust odo kms reading to the actualy km travelled? or watever milage shows in the cluster will b plugged in as is?
that can be done, but its a delicate procedure.
hmmm well I use an external Tacho anyhows so im gonna go down to wreckers today and find a nice Cluster and hook it up, I saw a nice DC2 cluster there a week ago ill go get it with plugs and all can you put up wirein diagram please CRXer
Yeah could you please post up the diagram, or email to: info@aesthetiks.com.au
Cheers bud.
The wiring below is based on looking at the cluster from the rear & the plug on the left being the A plug,the plug on the right being the B plug for both clusters.
The numbers A1 to A16,etc reading from left to right as demonstrated in the pic below,again for both clusters.The pic being of the DC2 cluster.
NOTE:Label the CRX wires before u cut the plugs off,as there are some wires that have the same colours.
