Do a search, this topic has been discussed several times before. I heard it's a lot of work and overall not worth it.

 

I've got a Teg dash in my G5 - it was a PITA. We had to use the Teg mounting brackets, modify the drivers side screw holes and cut the plastic behind the gauge cluster. It doesn't fit snug, so do prolly don't want to do it for showz.

 

My friend done 5swaps already, he told me wiring that sucker was a biotch... I say dont do it unless u have alot of time in ur hands... It's mostly for show too... Altho i miss having cup holders in my hatch since i got the audio console... I was thinking of doing that at one point, but i cant find a ITR(they have amber lights) dash with clustor...

 

im me and i'll tell you everything because i have done this with my EG. it's not hard as everyone yaps about...geez. it does take a bit of time so be prepared if you are going to do this yourself. i can give you the information on wiring everything up including the gauge cluster (about 18 wires depending). you basically keep your civic dash harness and splice and re-pin into the teg plugs. there are a few like cruise, illumination control, climate control, hazards, defrost...and most of the wires are color coded and you just make diagrams of each plug face and swap the pins (civic into the teg plugs). the guage cluster swap is not hard at all. i can give you the diagrams and you'll be splicing about 18 wires. most of these are the same color but there are a few that are different for the same function. you also have to mod the blower ports to mate with the dash venting. lots of test fitting, removing, and trimming! but worth it...the civic door panels will fit according to how well you mount the dash. remember that you will need all the plugs for the teg that are in the dash.

 

how about a dash from a 99 or 00 civic? would that dash go into a 5th gen without having to redo a bunch of stuff and repin harnesses? i ask becuz i was too thinking about doing a teg dash becuz i have blue interior in my car and im damn sick of it. please let me know, and thanks for the info, too. pat.

 

Forget what people say about doing it becuase i have one in my car and i can't see a civic dash in a civic anymore! I love mine and it gives the car a better feel. It feel like you're driving a Civic w/class. I have a full '95 Integra inte. in my car. Dash, F/R seats and console. If you want I can help you too, There's only one plug that doesn't fit and 4 wires i had to run. E-mail me @ nd_4_spd55@hotmail.com and i did it to be <U>Diffrent</U> . . . .

 

It's all plug and play. All the harnesses fit. I know this because, I have a friend who installed 4 GSR dashes in HB's. The only problem is, you have to break the door panels, in order for the doors to close, but it's not noticable at all.

 

Hello POST ***** ITR 2K!!! Stop trying to catch up to my post... It is not plug and play... Remember Karmen not having his gas gauge to work??? Thats because he needs to hard wire it...

 

that would be a true biiiiitch...lots of time for this. i would love to do it, but don't have the time or the parts. it would not be direct swap at all. i am sure nothing would swap right over. my motto is "you can make anything work" and it is too true...you just have to be a very smart and crafty MF.

 

sorry, but it is not, i don't care what your friend has done or said...it is not plug and play. i will tell you right now that the cluster plugs are different so there...i win. you try and plug up the rest with different wire locations...that's when people set their cars on fire. you will know when you do one of these swaps, but doubt it.

 

6th gen dash won't fit into a 5th gen. Wiring between the gauge clusters is fairly easu, not plug and play though. Physically it is easier to fit the integra dash into it.
If you want something that fits perfectly, stick with stock, if you are willing to do a weekends worth of work, then go for it, and you might have to settle for less than perfect fit.
