Ok, this being my first post and all I would just like to get the "please dont flame me cause im a newbie" thing all said. I did a search for this already but didnt get what i was looking for. Im doing an integra dash conversion on my 98 civic. I have the cluster wired up (sorta, stupid wires) but im a little cornfused about the climate controls. from what i have found the plugs for this should just go right in the back of the integra climate control no problem. The thing is when i turned it on the little lights inside of it wouldnt come on. Is this a cluster problem or a wiring problem.

thnx in advance

 

bump for a little help

 

damn these threads move fast. Just incase anyone cares i got it all sorted out. Thnx to the honda tech crew if anyone needs any help with wiring a dash up holla

 

So you did this on your 98 civic? Let see sum pics. I've an integra dash in my 92 hatch right now. But that's old. I have never seen it done in a 98 civic.

 

So what was the problem? Help out some future noobs doing the same kind of search.

 

give me a little while on the pics i have to get a special battery for my camera. It wasnt that big of a deal, but it was a pain in the ***. the worst was rewiring the climate control

 

I think there's a wiring diagram for this on http://www.merrITR.com . She did it in her EK and posted pics of the wiring and stuff...

 

that is only the gauge cluster. I found this site to be more helpful http://www.geocities.com/_nitr....html . also provided for an easier idea of where the plugs were. I think its because i went from an obd2 harness to obd1 harness. im still working on the defrost and hazard switch. they are a little different than the rest of the switches. everything had almost the same wiring just in a different area.

 

sorry they are a little blurry. its still not complete but its getting there

 

looking good bro. Mine almost finish too. Actually cant get the door panels to fit right yet. So there is no panel for now. I'm going to redo the door panel this coming spring.

 

i found that mine lined up almost perfectly. theres a concave spot needs a little more taken out. Im going to do that when i recover the panels.

 

looks good, I am still waiting on the heater/ac box, and the dash mounts before I can toss mine in

is there anything else I'll need, it's going into a 93 hatch... I think I have it all figured out, but just want to be clear, I have the integra steering column, the dash mounts on the way along with the heater/ac box... anything else you guys can think of, and yes I have the dash already

what about the vents in the dash, the ones that go behind everything and directs the air to the vents... I think I am going to need those too...

 

is it really worth all that to swap dashes?!?

 

no it is not really worth it to swap dashes. once i had ripped off most of the other dash and started i found myself getting into it then i got really pissed at how many wires were back there.... then got really really pissed when the first harness i made turned out to be wired from a 97 integra. Now that every thing works and looks almost complete, im satisfied with the out come.

i dont think you need the heater and ac box, i used my civic ones. the only real difference like i said before was the placement of wires. oh, and i dont know about the 92-95 body, but when i tried to hook the hot/cold air cable up it wasnt long enough to put the car on "cold" all the time. I just used a piece of metal i found on my garage floor and drilled to holes in it to give the cable a little more length. works good, and was easier

you dont need the ducts for the vents, i pulled that **** out and put dryer vent tube in there.

by the way, why can i only post 5 messages every 24hrs thats supa gay

cause your a n00b after 15 days I think it is or 30 maybe... not sure but then you can post 10 times per day

 

awww thats weak, oops wasted a post for my day

 

well to get around it, you can just delete your posts of course your post count wont go up, but you can still hold a more than 5 post conversation

 

theres always aim for that besides us trolls like to hold on to our post counts. damn 3 left

 

ok guys sorry to bring this back from the grave. Im done with everything being wired up. but i cant get the stupid air bag to drop in with out cutting the huge support behind the dash. has anyone else gotten around this, or any ideas would be help ful. im thinking about getting a tray, any tips or any info would be nice

 

I'm pretty sure you are one of the first i have seen to attempt the dash swap in a 6th gen. Sorry if we can't help you out, there just isn't much info bout doing the swap in a 6th gen. Maybe you can do a full writeup? Good luck.

 

what door covers will you be using?

 

did you get that interior and those seats from a kid named dave?

 

yup, dave gets a thumbs up from me. im using the civic door panels. The integra ones that i have are about an inch and a half to short. Im going to try the heat gun method, but i dont think thats going to work to well. Im also entertaining the idea of, stripping the material off the panels and cut and paste with some fiberglass.

 

bump b/c i'm about to attempt this can we get a full writeup or maybe some more completed pics ?
