the next step i had to take was use of the integra amplifier. i had two reasons for this need.
1: the VSS amplifier wiring harness is different in the teg than the CRX HF. i want as clean wiring as possible, so i wanted to use the integra amplifier.
2: the integra amplifier has the cruise control indicator light, i am even transferring the cruise control of my LS over to my HF. (i even have the integra steering wheel and turn signal/wiper stalk in the CRX, for use of the set/resume buttons, the main power button i am going to wire in via a toggle switch).
this should be of note to anyone who wants to do a black top D16A1 swap, or a later B-series swap because this way you can grab the VSS AND amplifier off an integra and use it on your CRX speedometer cluster. here come the pics.
here is the integra amplifier & harness:
the blue wire is ground, i screwed it to the common ground of all the indicator bulbs on the CRX cluster:
there is no pretty cover, and the amplifier is held on by one screw only. kinda ghetto, but no one will see it so who cares. just be careful when plugging in the VSS harness.
The cruise indicator light is just hanging in the upshift indicator light hole. i scratched out the box where the pgm-fi light is. if the ECU throws a code, all i will see is a red rectangle, but it is all i would need to know if there is a code thrown. the upshift indicator is used as a cruise control indicator now, and the light, as i said is just loose in there. in this photo i had forgotten to put a bulb in the pgm-fi spot, but that is ok. i just took it apart, took one of the bulbs from the integra cluster, and installed it here.
i removed the upshift indicator piece/harness because the teg wiring will not use it. the lens made an appropriate place to put the teg cruise control indicator.
for the pgm-fi light i stole the lens from the seat belt indicator. i used that one because that light only goes on for a few seconds when you start the car (and i always use my seat belt so it will go off anyway in a few seconds)
