came across a 88 crx dash and harness, would like to knwo if the harness were the same for the hatch/crx's?

even if there not, due to say length, will i be able to use it?

 

climat controll diff, and the models are all diff too

 

hmmm, will my hatch harness work with the crx dash? im assuming it will.

the dash is crx si and my car is a dx

 

yes with a si eng harness too, but its a tuff job man!!

 

well i guess i should state what im doing here.

i currently drive the 88 dx hatch. the 88 is rusted out beyond repair. picked up a 90 cx hatch dirt cheap with a rust free chassis.

so im building up the d16 and planned on swapping everything from the 88 chassis to the 90 chassis. the reason i want to swap the interior is because the 90 interior is ugly (when compared to the black/grey interior of the 88).

came across a 88 crx si that was being parted out and just needed to know if it would work, this way there would be less down time.

another option would be to just buy a complete si interior harness locally.

 

Use the CRX dash, Now about the wiring you have 1 option only without converting the body harness.
that is:: Use the original harness from your DX dash and use the old style climate control.
This is what I did when I put a CRX dash in my 88 HB dx.

any pics guys?

 

heres mine, http://www.thezcr.com/gallery/...age/3

dont know if its exactly the pic your looking for .

Heres another picture.... http://www.thezcr.com/gallery/...age/3
The only thing I noticed with the swap was where the Center console met the Dash its a little cocked to one side...Ive since taken care of some of it...so its not noticable anymore.

OH and 1 more thing, You HAVE TO use the brackets on the little hump in the center of the car from the CRX as well, or the bottom dash mount and Ebrake surround will not bolt down. And you DO NOT want to ride without the Lower dash mount, one big bump and you will have a Large crack in it.

 

thanks for the pics, one last question, will the crx cluster fit in the hatch dash?

 

Yes,

You will have to use the Civics metal brackets though. But most people never remove them when taking out a cluster, its just 4 screws and a little unplugging and its out.
