OK,
well basically im trying to install my vtec.
i understand i need to run wires from vtec solenoid and the vtec oil pressure sensor
ive read this forum :
http://hondaswap.com/general-tech-ar...re-vtec-40811/
so i understand i need to run a wire from
VTEC solenoid to A4 and a wire from vtec oil pressure to D6
i knoe the vtec oild pressure has 2 wires comming out, mine is broke so theres 2 wires comming out of this where does the 2nd wire go to?
install vtec? lol....
Is it black? Should be a ground. Connect to chassis ground.
I just noticed in the other thread your running a D15B,I always thought the D15Z was the VTEC version(pardon my civic ignorance)?
What are u doing a head swap or something?
Anyway just run the black wire to the thermostat ground or wherever yours is on the engine.
The other blue/blk? wire to D6 as u have done.
vtec solenoid wire also correct
At least that will clear up your code 22.
The code 23,i dont think your engine has a knock sensor,has it?
Did the ecu come with the head/motor or whatever u bought?
U'll have to wait for the big boys to answer that one.
aiight yeh
sorry im running the JDM d15b spec SOHC vtec
ill try take some pics tmz..
looks like the sensors r broken but has wires comming out of it.. which a couple people told me is the vtec oil pressure sensor
aiight well for now i wont worry about codes.. i need to wire up my vtec..
from vtec solenoid do i connect one wire a4?
ah i guess il post my pics tmz to show ya guys what i mean!
3 wires from the one of the plugs on the strut tower bar
since your running your origianl engine wires u dont need to add wires from the Vtec solonoid all u need is to add it from the 3 clips next to the strut tower and then to the ECU
danny what ya mean bro!
whats a strut tower and where is that!
I think he means. If you're using the wiring loom that came on the engine and it is intact you should just have to run wires from the big "cannon" plugs at the side of the engine bay to the ecu. Because the sensors are already wired to those plugs.
oh yeh i knoe what ya mean
BUT the vtec pressure and solenoid plugs arent plugged to anything if you know what i mean
its just hanging off NOT connected to anything
heres a pic

anyone tell me what that green thing is?
it looks like it was broken?
BTW as u can see my vtec isnt connected anywhere.. so th ats what im asking where do i connect it to!
if any1 can take pics and show us how there vtec pressure looks like?
Yeah so you were right in your first post as to where to connect the vtec solenoid and vtec oil pressure. Can't help you with the green thing.
Yeah looks like its snapped off,however,looks like the focus on your camera is snapped off also,so hard to tell.Should look like this

Do u have the green plug that plugs into it,wired into the engine harness?
When they say strut tower,referring to the plugs at the shock tower like the other one u were having trouble with,except the vtec wires will appear at the passenger side plugs.
Btw green thing is the vtec pressure switch,looks like u need to find a new one,it tells the ecu that oil pressure is sufficient at the vtec solenoid valve to go ahead with vtec operation.
hey!
hmmm the green thing is snapped off, the top bit just has 2 peices of metal comming out of it.
as for the vtec wire, like mine yours is a green wire which turns into a plug right, mine is the same BUT is not connected anywhere
is the green thing, wired to anything?
here is a bette rpic

see how the green thing has 2 pieces of metal, im guessing they turn into wires?
and the plug from solenoid is a single wire..
if someone can tell me where do i wire them to! and nah i looked everywhere in my harness the vtec plugs aren't there
