Anyone tried this? Seems like a good possibility, hell, if my friend can fit an integra dash into his civic, i can get a s14 into my car.

I heard of some girl in Canada doing it; in fact I saw here web site, but haven't ever been able to find it again. I wish you luck in your indevor.

what a coinsedense!! i was just searching for this same info about an hour ago to see if anyone else had done it..

the only thing i can imagine is that it is a wiring nightmare.. s13 cluster -->s14, as well as climate controls and then i wonder how similar the mounting points are.. what do S14 dashboards usually go for?

actually i have a ton of links about info on the integra-> civic dash conversion i can email to you, i know its not 240 but it has some good info and insight into how they got it done.. most of the issues are wiring not fitment..

*goes to call local yards for a test s14 dash* ;)

I too have heard this being done before. The wiring shouldnt be too bad (except the popup headlight button....which could be jerry rigged courtesy of Radio Shack), but getting the AC vents hooked up would be my biggest concern. You could cut out slits for the side mirror defrost vents (in the S14 bumper)...which would be easier than installing vents into the door panels.

sounds like a good idea but i like the s13 dash too why would u want s14? my friend can fit an integra dash into his civic, but isnt an itegra to a civic like a 350z to a g35 they should be pretty danm close when u switch the dashes if not perfect

Exactly because both of those cars are similar in size. The s14 is quite a bit larger so you would have to cut the dash down a bit if its going to fit in there.

S15 dimensions are identical to S14. At least, track widths and wheelbase.

The S14's bulkier styling makes it appear wider, but all the added width is in the curves of the body, not in the chassis or interior.

The s15 body is actually slightly smaller even though the wheel base is the same as the s14. Trust me on this one.
