Looking for some offbeat OEM mods for my EG8

By LionHearted1
- Sun Jun 03, 2012 7:48 pm #307180 Hello.

I was looking through the DIY section when I saw the write up on how to put a DC2 cluster and BB4 Prelude center console into an EG, and I was wondering if anyone had seen or heard of any other mods like that.

Specifically taking OEM Honda parts off of other cars, and fitting them into ours.


Anyone have any ideas?

I've seen a couple of these too. Also not a fan. But I wouldn't mind trying to stitch an EG front end onto an Integra. Ive not seen that done, and it could look alright?

There are a couple of B20B civics that roll around where I live, but none of them are AWD, just B16. One of them even has B16 gears for 1-4th, and then 5th is B18. I guess it helps his gas milage or something.

That sounds cool too, a EG front end on a Teggy, I guess it could kinda look like a real type R but not lol

I run a B20soon to be V turbo eg, love it...
the AWD is a little bit uncomon, only seen online never in person. its bad ass, something I will deff do. just need time and money. but it will get done!

I know Epic Tuning has a kit there building for it.

Well, it's different. the EG chassis has been out for like... 20 years now, it gets harder and harder to find something that someone hasn't done yet.

I wanted to do a B20 build myself, like B20 with a B18c5 head. AWD trans. Could have a lot of fun in that car.

I was reading about how you can swap a DC2 dashboard into an EG, maybe if you used that, you wouldnt have to cut the arm rest and it would sit better?

I dunno though, never owned a DC2, so Im not sure on how the fit would work.

the research was the tricky part seeing as most, if not all DIY's are incomplete... :thumbdown: some of the wiring posted on the DIY's were no good, so I had to refer to some more accurate findings :lol: If anyone needs some info or sites for information on the S2K cluster swap, pm me 8)

Once all the research was done, took me about 6 hours to install and have it programmed and on the road, had to redo the wiring because the first time had a few mix ups... lots of wires!!! I am actually a 4th year electrical engineering student, not saying that ahs anything to do with this swap, but it does show I enjoy electrical work :thumb:
