My BB6 Cluster and Amber Dash

[CB7Man]

I broke my CB cluster, playing with the fuel guage ofcourse.
I've seen many BB6 clusters in cb's, but most lack that "Finished" look
Or people butcher the CAR to fit it in place. My goals were simple:
1) Hardly touch the car.
2) 100% Reversable for any reason
3) Be the first working AUTOMATIC cluster swap (That I know lol)
4) All lights working properly

I did this swap some time ago, I think now 2 months ago....
Anyway I modified the cluster mainly
I started with test fitting right after I got it.

Then I cut the crap out of it and kept fitting it over and over

I put electrical tape to re-seal the cluster and to make the sides less noticable (The BB6 cluster seems to have a very tall lense)

I then pulled out my saudering iron and made myself a "Factory" conversion harness. The wireing diagrahm I got from this site was pretty close.


At first I just tried to direct wire the tranny lights....NO, all the lights require diodes. Theres also another little thing about the Auto Tranny. It has a "PGM-FI" control switch, that when you shift from (P) or (N) it lowers the RPM for easy engagement. Without it...it feels like you could rip mounts if you left it that way for too long. That also requires diodes to function.
The CB cluster had all the parts I needed.

The last part was fitting, which surprisingly was the quickest.
Just like all the other swaps, cutting the dash had to be done BUT, there was NO need to cut the air duct. The wireing sits nicely ontop of it. If you cut away the top of the cluster backing you can stuff the wireing behind the air duct and thus allows the cluster the sit flush againt the duct.
I never took pictures of the dash cutting sadly, Ill work on it though.

The amber Dash is a different story.
I got all my amber from the DSM Eclipses Climate controls.
12 Cars had to endure my pry bar for one car to have an amber dash.
Video if you want to see it.
I also went and turned the Imobilizer light into my alarm light.

All in all, Manual or Automatic
Get it done, it looks totally factory if done right and keeps the CB looking current. Plus it is a work of art.


Next comes S2000 steering wheel

that looks sweet man good job! now your happy with your new cluster

[cb4_honda]

nice man .. as for the clock get the integra type r jdm amber clock . you can get one on ebay for like 50 bucks

[jdm_inspired]

Clock amber you can get some orange film and replace the blue one in the clock. I didnt go that route, I got the real deal for 50 thanks to ProJect. I think as far as your fuel gauge, if you didnt physically break the needle, before you throw it back in, you need to make sure your needle is at least higher than the actually fuel reading you had before you removed the cluster.

Nice bb6 cluster btw. I want one too, but I had other plans

[DjM_coupe]

sweet...love it...im in the process of finding a bb6 cluster too...yours really clean great job

[CB7Man]

Thanks guys. It took me 2 days I believe. (for the actual cluster install)
Took about 2 weeks for the dash.


So this ITR clock is direct put-in?
Or is it take apart both and make it work?

By the way there is ZERO gap between the cluster and bezel.
Stupid me didnt put the pictures on photobucket

I love the BB6 dash so much more than the Accord one.
I hate how the F22 just doesnt take advantage of it

Edit: Is the GSR clock red?
They are only like $10

[oneoffaccord]

good shit man

[steelbluesleepR]

94-01 (i think those are the right years) teg clocks are white, except for the itr, which is amber. they are a direct swap for our cars, same plug and everything.

[Accrdwgnguy]

Nice dude, I did the same to my wagon (minus the BB6 cluster) about half a year ago. I love it. BTW how did you get the fog switch to be amber, did you have to take it apart? I don't really wanna take it apart.

Someday I'll get a BB6 cluster, they are sick

[ChIoVnIdCa]

Good fit

[byc_cb7]

SWEET!! i really want to do this but cant find an auto cluster

[benjerman112]

Wow very nice dude. maybe one day i'll get my bb6 cluster in...

[CB7Man]

If you guys are wondering about the buttons (Such as Defrost/Fog)
The actual button part you push "unclips" from the actual button and allows you to remove the blue shading.
Look at the top or bottom (can't remember) and there are tiny holes on both sides that you can slip micro screw drivers into, then just pry the clip up and the button should slip out...

[tickleMYelmo]

How are you going to get the s2000 wheel to fit?

[OnBBS17s]

for the clock get a white integra's and use The little plastic from dividers
and find the right combo its either red/orange or red/yellow or orange/yellow cant remember but it will match perfectly




oh ya and that Dilstickyjoe had an auto bb6 cluster.
