I want to install paddle shifters in my reborn for which I need ecu of international 8th generation civic with R18 engine in which paddle shifters came.
So, It'll be very thankful If anybody can help me finding which international model with R18 engine have paddle shifters and it's ecu number.
@Spano already installed it in his civic 8th gen, maybe he can help or there are some ads on olx where they install paddle shifters and other items on demand like meter, climate control and shift knob.
Reached olx ads but they are demanding too much charges for installation + they are not disclosing ecu number. So I should buy it from them on the price they want.
Yours is a PKDM 8th gen? Paddle shifters wont work unless you swap out the transmission. The Pkdm prosmatic transmission does not support it. You will have to arrange CVT transmission (thai spec), complete wiring, ECU, Gear Shifter (its different from Pkdm, i.e. P R N D S L, instead of P R N D 3 2 1 ), RPM cluster with respective shift indicators, and then a sensible enough mechanic who can carry this out without totally destroying the car and this isnt exactly going to be cheap. Good luck. Unless you are capable to do this all yourself, its much easier to just sell the car and get one which has it from factory.
I installed paddle shifters, cruise control and multimedia on my PKDM reborn non prosmatic
Following things will need to be changed:
Meter Cluster with cruise, P R N D S and gear indicator
ECU with capability
Steering buttons
Sparrow cable
Paddle shifter knobs
Gear bottom plate with P R N D S marking (optional)
It is not a very big task can be done in 2 hrs Everything will work, but i dont know if paddle shifters are possible in manual transmission but in auto it is possible to do
It costed me 28k for whole package last year (it might be more now) and i kept my original meter, cables, and ECU to my self as well
Your car wiring are not going to be changed or anything. There will be 1 or 2 extra wires which goes from ECU to steering through firewall wiring hole and thats it Here is the phone number of the workshop from where i insalled it 0312 1718560 (Faisalabad Sargodha Road) They also have a youtube channel
D1.....D3 will gets removed. Its just from ECU, that controls these so in place of these I now get S and can shift the gear myself The gearbox was never changed, its same as what came with the car CVT is not needed for conversion Also i want to mention that paddle shifter kit is not third party, it is pull out of USA civic 8th and works as genuine product Only weak point in the system is the wires that goes from ECU to the steering.
Sir, Can u give OEM or ECU number to install paddel shifter & cruise in civic / reborn model 2010. I have installed both items but want to buy ECU with same configuration which i am not getting the right one from market
