Re: DC5 cluster in EK 99-00
thanks for the fast response.. so the cluster will fit there 1 on 1 only need to put the wires right. right? im not affraid of the wires its only the fitment in the dash.
do i need any modul or something to make it work? are the some "how-to's" available?

Re: DC5 cluster in EK 99-00
Not only would it be a bitch to fit it in the cluster cover because the two clusters are physically quite different, quoted from a diff site "the RSX cluster DOES NOT FIT in the 96-00 civic dashboards. If you take the bezel off you can get it inside the cluster compartment, but again its too wide unless you really force it in there. It'll sit upright, & I dont think it looks good. It looks ghetto."
...but the wiring would also be a nightmare. the dc5 cluster doesn't work the same way 88-00 clusters do. you need the multiplexer unit from a k-series ecu. the engine vitals go to the ecu first and then go through an optical line to the cluster. it would be a monumental pain in the dick trying to make this cluster work in a 88-00 chassis. that is unless you already have a k-swap.. which i imagine you do not. If you want to be somewhat different try an integra or crv gauge cluster.

I dropped in a CTR cluster in my EK, couldn't be happier, plug and play

i really would love a lazy version of that^^
thanks for tipps and ideas
anybody has some pics of clusters that will ffit 1on1 (PnP)?
