Well my friend with a Ep3 decided that he was going to get a aftermarket wheel for his car and asked if i wanted his stock one i was not sure if it will fit ? and then if the air bag hook ups are the same ? and i searched and there are nothing but threads for the seats and wheels also would the cruise control still work thanks

 

thanks found out will not work unless i convert alot of things mods may close

 

Sell it to RSX owners.

 

it wont fit, the splines are totally different. you would have to get the steering rack out of an ep3 as well...and figure out a way to connect the airbag as this is totally different as well.

 

ive been wanting one for a while.....pm me if he still wants to get rid of it

 

I have a 1995 Civic with an S2000 steering wheel swap. The 92-95 EJ/EG Civics and 94-01 DC2 Integras share the same steering column, SRS airbag, and cruise control DNA. The EP3 and S2000 steering wheels share the exact same fitament specs. The differences in those steering wheels are purely cosmetic.

So the short answer is yes you can make it fit, with little to major modification.

With my setup, my horn and cruise control work perfectly, but I have not hooked in the SRS airbag yet because I have not been able to find any reliable information about SRS airbag swaps into the 92-95 Civics or 94-01 Integras. People have swapped steering wheels and hooked in the SRS airbags into 96-00 Civics with no problems. If the signal characteristics are the same for the DC2/EG/EJ and the EK/EM/EJ dual airbag SRS computers, then the airbag should work just fine. Again the problem is there is no reliable info.

The S2000 wheel and EP3 steering wheel are identical to each other in fitament. The airbags are different as the AP1 S2K uses a 2 wire single stage airbag versus the EP3 uses a 4 wire dual stage airbag.

The long answer is you can swap this wheel into your EG in 1 of 3 ways:

1) Do what BlueIntegraBoy said. It may not be 100% reliable. If you were in a crash, those welds have the possibility of breaking.

2) Consult with a machine shop to make an insert to compensate for the size difference between the smaller EG/EJ steering column splines versus the bigger size of the hole for the S2K/EP3 steering wheel ring. This may not be 100% reliable since the gap is less than 1/4 inch and the machined splines to fill in the teeth could suddenly wear or break causing the wheel to spin freely.

3) Swap in an 96-00 Civic steering column.

I personally used option #3. If you do this you will have to have the lower shaft lengthened by about 2-3 inches. See the second pic for comparison of 92-95 steering column versus modified and lengthened 96-00 steering column. This offers 100% reliability as long as the bottom steering column shaft is PROPERLY lengthened with perfect welds from a top notch machine shop. Once you do that, the steering column is a direct bolt in. Also, the 96-00 steering column mounting plate for the turn signals is different than the 92-95 (see third pic). So if you want to continue to use your existing turn signal / wiper levers, you will have to have the machine shop remove the 92-95 mounting plate from the 92-95 steering column, and have them weld it onto the 96-00 steering column. Expect to pay a few bills for the machine shop work.

Before assembly, you should also source an SRS cable reel for the AP1 S2K with the wire harness. This will allow you to directly plug and play the horn, cruise control, and SRS airbag plugs before installing the steering wheel. This way, you can do all the custom wire splicing under the dash instead of behind the steering wheel.

Once the steering column is ready, you will have to transplant the ignition cylinder from the old column to the new column. The locking notch in the 96-00 column is narrower and will require a wee bit of widening with a dremel to get the steering wheel to lock when the ignition cylinder is installed.

Before anything comes apart, make sure that your front wheels are straight. Then reassemble everything with the new wheel in place. Do all the custom wire splicing for the horn and cruise under the dash. Leave the 2 airbag wires alone and tape them off to prevent static charge which could cause the airbag to pop.

 

^ lol might as well be an article. Nice post maybe make it a thread?

 

i never seen anybody going the other rout. taking two steering wheels 1 from current car and 2nd from RSX or w/e. then cutting off the back of current one with mounting and welding it in place of the one in 2nd steering wheel.

to me it looks realistic, i never looked at both steering wheels together in person to make a solid statement that this is possible but it definitely looks easier to me, instead of going through swapping steering columns.

also as far as i know s2k and rsx wheel comes with 2 stage air bag but JDM doesn't so if this is true then swapping to a JDM steering wheel would make more sense since air bag would be plug and play

 

hello from Greece!

i wanna buy an EP3 steering wheel...it gonna fit on a eg6 or eg2

like gazaq friend i thought the same thing...is that possible?

is sounds to difficult to me to change steering columns etc...

your help please...

 

ive got an ep3 steering rack

 

what do you mean?

 

i just want corn works...nothing else...

also,what is the diameter of ep3 s.w.?

and a civic -del sol eg's?

thanks
