How to : Digital gauge conversion

[thegreatdane]

I didnt go deep into the practical part of making everything fit since I figure that if anyone ever get all the parts to do the conversion they'll also be experienced enough to know what to do to make it fit (otherwise feel free to ask me). This is more of a pinout diagram.
Be prepared to use a whole lot of wire and heat shrink tubing.

Btw I havent identified the VSS sensor output for the stock PJ0/5 ECU's yet, but it should be there, I just didnt need it myself.

Moderators are welcome to add this to the howto section.

from another 3rd gen....

[thegreatdane]

It's hard to get your hands on the gauges but it's even harder to get all the other parts you need along with it.

Gauges are from a JDM CA3 accord.

[Cheeseburger]

would you know what other parts are needed for the whole swap

[thegreatdane]

I think I mention everything needed on that page. Except from the connectors for the gauge and the control unit, you'd want to get those as well. They are different too.

[ghettogeddy]

alright i must have at least one some tell me if they can get them and i could care less how much

[2ndGenGuy]

Do you think that this guide will be the same for 2nd Gens? I've got digital gauges and was wondering if you guys knew if the wiring colors matched up?

EDIT: Damnit! No wonder that guy on eBay woudln't have anything to do with getting me a manual with a wiring diagram! He wasn't selling the control box with it! ARGH!!

[EricW]

Wow, those look really good. Nice work on the write up.

[thegreatdane]

Thanks!

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

i want one but in mph

[carotman]

I'll let everyone comment on this and then add it to the how-to section.

I started to identify some of the wites myself but you saved me alot of hardwork.

I'm concentrating on the digital heater panel now. Want to help? :D

I have one myself :D But I have no use for it really, My Accord doesnt even have A/C. Have you found anything on the wiring for it yet? The control unit for the dash actually has two connectors, but only one of them is for the dash, so I've been wondering if that small second connector could possibly have something to do with that digital heater control panel..

[shepherd79]

I see you got the gauges installed and working.
good job.

[Legend_master]

Wow, those gauges are great, If I could ever find a set I Will scoop them up immediately. Great job on the wiring is can be a tedious job

[3gmodifier]

[mushroom_toy]
