Everything will work fine, no need to worry about the EGR, you don't have to swap manifolds because the EGR is closed until it gets triggered by the EGR control solenoid, which he doesn't have anyways. You can wire in both the solenoids to the actual vtec wire and ground the vtec oil pressure wire. DONE!

my setup has the p2p ecu... obd2a which the d15b is. before hookin up the v-con I had no power till 5800 rpm, (both solenoids connected to same vtech lead from harness) I put on the v con and set my first solenoid at 3k and left the other solenoid connected to the harness vtech wire. My car has 128 whp @6200 rpm and gets 46 mpg! and its an auto trans! did I mention its also a 4 dr sedan? If you want power go with a b series DOHC! If you want eco, go with the d15b and set up like I just told you!

Because you aren't running lean mode properly you are only getting 46 MPG when you should be closer to 55 MPG. I can get 44 MPG out of my stock D15B7 which doesn't have any kind of vtec.
If you use Hondata S300 you can run both vtec and vtec-e properly based on engine load and engine speed. Doing it purely on rpm isn't the most efficient.

You're absolutely right, but I have a total of $600 into this setup. and it does a pretty da** good job IMO. Excellent daily driver. I also just recently picked up another 96 ex sedan, want to go with the y8 that it came with but I may just put in another d15b... I've gotten 220k out of the one I have. and still goin strong.

I've been running it for a while now, dont know exactly when I put it on, but it was a month after I dropped in the d15b. At first I couldn't get it runnin right and my buddy out in cali told me about the v tech controller.... I got it thru him (at that time it was $130) I've been runnin it since. my car has only had 1 single problem since I put it on, that was a corroded ground on the pass. side strut tower stopping the starter from workin right. but the car has a total of 540k miles, the engine has 262k on it (42k when I bought it) and its runnin strong and getting 46 mpg with an auto trans.
no leaks or anything. just an all around great motor. (for eco that is) very very dependable daily driver.

Can you send me a pm of how you set it up, or just post it here. I am doing what you did with the 2nd stage solenoid (16 valve VTEC) by hooking it up to the harness. I was wondering how you wired up the first stage crossover from the vcon to the solenoid. I am pretty sure I could figure it out, but since you have done it before it makes sense to see what you did. Thanks!

Please don't bump an old thread with confusing information. Many who will find this will not know all the details or specifications to realize your setup is no where near a D15B 3 stage motor setup. Regardless if you make the D16Y8 head look like the 3 stage, it's not a 3 stage.
