I've searched everywhere, but can't find if a non vtec obd 1 ecu can be chipped for vtec. The junkyard where I live near has a lot of obd-1 non vtec ecu's, but no vtec. TIA

Please be easy on me

Yes it can.

 

So is vtec activated in the software (after chipping of course) or do you need to add some extra hardware to the ecu for vtec?

 

not sure about adding software, but you will need to run wires to the vtec selenoid unless you have a vtec wiring harness already in the vehicle.... sorry if its not much help

 

They can be converted to vtech I think motes.net still sells the kits to do it. Most good honda shops will be able to do it also.

 

ya i believe its just 2 or 3 small resistors that does it. im running a p06 with vtec added and works like a charm

 

Thanks everyone for the info. I checked finally found the vtec kit online and the instructions. Can't wait to chip my ECU! Thanks again everyone!
