HOW TO: gsr gauge cluster install in EG & EK

GSR cluster install modSearched info provided by iselfdevi

Ok, ok here it is. Everything you need to know to install a full working gsr cluster into a the eg or ek civic. I am NOT taking any credit for the information, but i am taking credit for all the research i have done in acually doing this mod. As far as wiring goes, about 80% of all the wires are the same color for both gsr and civic. So, that makes the wire much easier for you.So, have fun and a big THANK YOU for those who provided the info and all the write-ups for this awsome mod.For those who provided the info and the write-ups please email me at iselfdevi@verizon.net so i can post it. For all respect.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
The gsr cluster is NOT a plug-and-play install. I heard you can just repin the wires on the 96-00 civic, and if that true then go for it. Just becareful not to pull the wire from the metal pins. If you dont want to repin then you must get a gsr cluster with the harnesses to do this mod. The stock civic harnesses must be cut off so the gsr harnesses can be wired in. There is some cutting involved in this mod, but it's nothing to major. The hardest part is the wiring process. I suggest you solder all the wires because solder never comes undone unlike butt connectors. Solder is the BEST connection. I have been installing radios, amps, and alarms for the past few years and trust me solder is the way to go.

TOOLS
The following tools are needed;
1.Soldering iron
2.Solder (very small gauge)
3.Wire strippers
4.Wire cutters
5.High quality electrical tape (3M is perfect)
6.Print out of the wire color chart----->Wire color chart for 92-95 civic ----->Wire color chart for 96-00 civic
7.Dremel (never leave home without one!!!)
8.Philips head screwdriver

Good writeup.. I used it this past weekend in my EJ6.
It is, BY FAR, easier/quicker to repin the 96-00 plugs to correspond with the GSR cluster, than it is to cut/solder.. Literally took my like 15 minutes studying the wiring, and 20 minutes to repin both blue plugs. Everything worked like a champ!
Made little mounting brackets from old radio mounting straps.. Used the 'no longer used' speed clips from in the dash where the original EJ cluster screwed to the top, placed those on the GSR cluster, and used the same corresponding screws to fasten the new brackets to the cluster.
the lower corners of the cluster trim bezel do not fit perfect, but this weekend, if time permits, I'll modify the bezel to fit the GSR cluster's profile, more accurately..
also did the red backlit conversion at the same time...

QUESTION!! will the JDM gsr cluster have the same wiring...I have a good opportunity to buy a jdm cluster for about $75 and I was wonderin if the wiring would be the same.....

 

[qwikxr]

should be the same as the integra pinouts above.

 

[b16bang]

alright....and i can't open the wiring charts...what kinda file is it?

 

[qwikxr]

RTF file = Rich Text File.. Microsoft Word or Wordpad will work.. right-click the link and "Save As.." then open it.

 

[rey_boricua]

i am going to try this next weekend hopefully everything goes good

 

[tir_lilx]

could you do the same thing for a EK cluster(like a Si) into a EG

92-95 Civic

96-00 Civic

Yeah, you'll need these two wiring diagrams, and match them up..

Excellent write up, Thank You. Will be selling my JDM cluster and doing this instead very soon.

Need help with GSR Gauge

My car is 94 Civic Coupe DX AT, the basic model of 5th generation. I want to swap the Cluster to Integra's. However, for DX model, it doesn't come with the "RPM Gauge." Could I still make the wire connection from engine to RPM Gauge on Integra's cluster? Do you know how? Another question is if I buy a MT Cluster, not AT, for my AT car, will that be a problem? Thank you very much and appreciate you time!

 

[qwikxr]

As for the tach working - it'll work fine. the tachwire is already in the harness.

Just get an AT cluster - a couple more wires to contend with, but no biggie. If you get an MT cluster, I don't think there will be any issues, other than not having dash-mounted gear selector position...

 

[kakawulala]

Thank you very much!

Thank you for answering my question and your advising is very helpful to me! It is great thing to be in here and have so many friends who like HONDA CIVIC. I wish we can work more out in the future!

Dumb question: Do I need the Integra wiring harnesses (blue plugs) or can I just re-pin my Civic harnesses (white plugs) and use them?

 

[aloCc_Cuhx]

how did u get the clear plastic part over the cluster for the eg?

 

[civic402Lx]

sorry for bringing back the dead, but noone seem to answer the question above..how do i fit the clear cover on?? i can't make it fit..

 

[bboygreddy]

yeah can we get working links again, interested in doin this

 

[qwikxr]

without reading through all the posts again, I will say that 2000-01 GSR cluster wiring pinouts are different that 94-99 models, due to immobilizer circuits..

 

[civic402Lx]

honda-tech have one write up about it..search for it...i can't remember what it is..

 

[luispizarro25]

Good to know this kind of info
