INT : 5th gen Lude Cluster Swap into CB7 EX-R M/T (A/T Avail.)

[CB7Man]

Yea, you dont have to shave it all off the top like I do, thats just for fun to see how close I can get it without ruining it.

[zack_odom]

about to do this swap in a 1990 EX...So I can just use the diagram as it is written right?

[konig52r]

What would you guys rate this on a difficulty level?
Im going to to this mod very soon on my 92LX manual. Has anyone done it for that year and trim? If so hook me up with a diagram! LOL

You didnt cut your car's harness up did you?

Even if one did cut up the harness, can you get another one from the junkyard?

[cb9wagon]

thought i would add.

i have a 1991 cb9 wagon, auto.

i have been able to make the original tiptronic gear position indicate current transmission gear position. so it starts at 1,2,3,4. i just couldnt' leave that display alone, it bothered me that i didn't even try. so out it came while i do a black dash swap.


i 'm in process of tapping into the shift solenoids and i need to go get some diodes for the relay pack.

it uses three wires in different combinations to ground. that creates the numbers

Technicaly you could but that harness is a pain to uninstall/install. I cut my harness up but then I soldered/shrinkwrapped the new setup in. I looks great and I don't know why I'd want to go back to the stock setup... ever. I love these gauges

How so?

And I love these too. Sadly I've only used these three months.

man this fucking topics has caused so many head aches. I fucking freezing out here trying to figure out this hieroglyphics of a DIY. FUCK IT! Im making my own DIY on this mod. with clear written instructions & pictures

[konig52r]

So I just did this mod finally, like 3 weeks ago.... I love it! I have to say its not as hard as it seems, its just time consuming as its a mod only one person can do. It took 10hrs with the help of a friend for guidance. I used my dremmel to trim my dash bezel. It sits very flush... If you have any qs pm me.. ill do my best to help you out.

I gave in and paid CB7Man to make my harness.

When I did it with Ben, it was a hot mess. Reverse was the low fuel light, e-brake was the door light, and a few other things I forgot about. It was just terrible.

well I got 99% of it to work. I had to use the haynes manual for the CB harness & an online diagram for the lude cluster. couldnt get much out of this >__>

I wrote down where every pin goes.

[Julianachos]

I used the diagrams from here, then diagrams I got from a tech from the Honda dealer.

yeah, that looked like alot of work. Gus is the man for this....correct DIY coming soon!

[MikeW]

So....no one has been able to do this, cleanly and correctly..??

It looks like alot of trouble and hassle. Hacking up the cluster and the gaps and wiring and all that jazz. Probably would be easier to just swap in a 6G Accord cluster, lol.
