The Dash/Cluster swap/conversion thread

[killer240]

well i just got the wiring done, all i need to do is the fun stuff, matching up the wires. I got like 10 wire done just to get this light up. Im retired for the night though, hopefully tomorrow i can get the rest of it done, except; the speedometer, tach(not sure if i can get away with not having a converter), water temp(not sure either).

by the way, my cluster was cheap but it didn't come with pig tails. I wish i should have just spent more and got the pig tails, its a bitch to make your own harness. You can see in the pic which ones arent wired up yet.

i dont know if i will be able to remember the matching up, its easy, just takes time.

You have heard of the internet, right?!

Will be cool to see it up and running though.

s2k clusters are cool. not trying to troll u at all, but will all the functions work? as i know from the honda dudes they need like converter boxes and stuff when they do s2k cluster swaps for non s2k motors.

you need a speedo converter box, im not sure about tach and water temp since i havent tried it yet, been busy lately.

so far signal lights and high beam are the ones that i have tried. the seatbelt light went off after a while, not sure if its because of my S14 belts. i matched up 98% of the wires i could, i just need to slap it on the car and try it out.


those Z gauges would look nice, but then it takes up all the space, gauges too big? i like it though and would like to see it done
