what do i need for the ef9 conversion
I WANT TO DO THE EF9 FRONT END CONVIERSION ON MY 90 CIVIC AND SO I WAS GONNA BUY ALL THE PARTS BUT I HAVE HEARD I DON'T NEED SOME OF THE PARTS SO DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT IT IS I NEED TO DO THIS CONVERISON SMOOTHLY BUT CHEAP AS WELL
hood, headlights, filler piece (under the headlights) and bumper (and of course bumper lights)
it is possible to make it all work with only these items.
the fenders are not needed, nor are the OEM corner lights.. you can always get a set of $10 aftermarket ones.
from my experience it will cost about the following (but you can alwyas find it cheaper if you look REAL hard)
hood: $150-250 shipped
headlights: $125 shipped
filler piece: $75 shipped
bumper: $225 shipped
so you can get out as cheap as $550-600 if you look for the bargian.. mabye slightly cheaper..
you will also need the sidemarkers if you desire that look, but they are very cheap as well.

you CAN make it work without the rad support.. but if you get one from a sedan, it makes it all bolt in.
otherwise, you have to shim the hood latch about 1" to the rear.
and same goes for a CF hood.

and it isnt the radiator support that you need anyway, its the "t-bar" that goes in front of it.
all it does is hod the hood latches.
the radiator support isnt part of the swap, unless you plan on getting the JDM radiator.

on the cluster is there a mod so that it reads in mph? like when you look at it it shows how fast ur going in mph? just woundering cuz for a s13 you just have to do a resiter but being this is cable..... or do you just know the conversion on the fly?
