you are going to have to do it wire by wire, solder and heat shrink. you probably need a temp sensor from a late model civic too, they should be the same as other hondas, the ohm range on this one is really strange, i tried to find one before. the threads on the later honda gauge sender are also bigger then the accord
probably the most important plug on there too. can you cut that whole chunk out of the cluster to use as a plug? dunno if its possible to reliably solder to that flexible plasticy terminal board stuff though (dunno what it's called lol)
is there a pigtail that it has to attach to? trying to figure this out, just cut off the plug end
I'm already running one from a b20b lol.Originally Posted by lostforawhile
That's exactly what I was thinking, soldering to those points seems very difficult.
Don't want to cut the harness at all, I may cut out the cluster piece and use a more solid plug connectors.
you can always save the plug and solder it back in if needed, i believe those plugs plug in at the big three connector junction at the dash anyway, I think that entire part of the harness unplugs, you could always get another
Alright going all mad scientist on this lol.
Looking good man. This is going to be awesome!

that should work well
Nice work (Y)
good idea (Y)

I've got everything hooked up except the rpms (for some reason they do not work), and the vss. Definitely a better way would be to pull the harness from the junk yard, and re-pin the whole thing. I just wasn't aware it was an individual unit.
you dont have it hooked up to a electric vss

Idk, I thought the fuel ratio was variable to the speed you were moving. So I need to know the rpms for speed to work, but the a7 plug does not send a signal that makes the guage move at all.
i'll look it up later
Not to my knowledge. Slightly variable according to vacuum, manifold pressure or throttle angle, but not speed. In general, you'll be shooting for 14.7/1 A/F mix in most all conditions other than hard acceleration.
Not sure if that helps.

I think I miss understood your question when I read it the first time (little drunk lol). I have not hooked up the vss yet, cause I want to make sure everything else works as this is my daily driver. Vss will be simple, the wires to the ecu and cruise are already there, just need to wire up the rest.
That's what I wanted to know. No possible way replacing sender with a integra civic one

That is what I'm going to use, the vss sensor is from a newer Integra.
Sweet . Lmk

does it work yet?!?1
No I have not wired up the VSS yet. I've been busy at work, really want it going to!
come on slacker lol

Just sayin....
I was waiting for you to hit teh vtaks :'(
