Reply With Quotei have an 03 ep3 and its an 03 rsx-s...if that helps any..
From MugenReplica :
Here's the EM2 info.....if it helps. I bought some products off from the orginal Ep3 to RSX cluster swap, but I can't recall his name at the moment.
This is from an old Ephatch member.....James Cardenas....
Color matched most of the wires.
i have 1 wire left over from the dc5 pig tails (black yellow)
and 3 wires on the car harness (red black)(blue black)(white)[/QUOTE]
Items Needed:
-DC5 Cluster w/ Pigtails
1. Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery
2. Remove the cluster bezel
3. Remove the cluster
4. Cut off the 2 plugs that goes to the cluster
5. Strip the wires where you just cut off the plugs and on the DC5 cluster pigtails.
6. Solder each wire by color. The 01-02's will only have one ground wire (blk), so what you gotta do is connect the 2 ground wires from the dc5 cluster pigtails to the one ground wire on the dash harness. The 03-05's have 2 grounds. The DC5 ITR cluster does not have Cruise Control or Immobilizer so those 2 wires will not be connected if you choose to use this cluster. After soldering, heatshrink the exposed wire.
(so i don't confuse anyone, the pink wire had to be lengthened along with 2-3 other wires. i didn't have any pink wire so i used another color.)
7. Plug in the harness to the cluster & reconnect the negative terminal on the battery. Test drive the car to see if everything is working.
8. Re-fit the cluster bezel. It won't fit correctly, so what you gotta do is look where it hits the cluster and dremel that part off little by little. Take your time on this or else it will look like crap. It took me about an hour to get it nice. When everything is fitted you will have a gap at the bottom. The only way to fix this is to fiberglass the bezel to cover the gap.

very doubtful, they aren't even close to being the right shape
Yes it will but you will need a piece to cover the bottom part of the cluster. There was a member with one and a DIY, but that was before the recent crash...
Edit: Members name was benmunger

DON'T DO IT! Our cluster is way better looking! Funny thing is though, I know what car that cluster came out of.Originally Posted by tru3aznplayaz

Suddenly popped into my mind. His name was Benmunger. Very cool DIY guy!! His stuff was unique for the time and much of it has yet to be replicated on any Ep3.

I'll see if I can track him down and lead him back to this thread....
EDIT- Just messaged him again to see of he could update his orginal thread. Keep an eye out for it.

nice..
yess I was looking at the cluster forsale on CL..lol
It came from my buddy's poor type-s. Somehow he burned up all the oil in the engine, asked me one day if his engine was fucked " It wasn't making any power and driving like shit"
That would be pretty cool to put a rsx-s cluster!!
either is the s2k cluster and it "fits"
im going to move this to DIY section...i am going to restructure and delete the first post and make mugenreplica the first post. great information here guys. lets compile it and get the diy going
have someone PM when its done so i can merge these threads and make sure it stays in the DIY land
be jealous :P
im scared to do this..dont want to splice my harness..lol
