please god tell me you arent calling your vaccum line a "wire"

egg_baLLa

yeah dude that was a mistake.
i was in a hurry to make the thread.

anyone know though?

fabs

there should be a lil nipple on the throttlle body that the line goes to. as for the oil pressure if there is no thread on it i would recomend to get it helicoiled or just swap the thing out with a diff one. i have like 6 of them if u need one.

JDM obd2 engines have no hole for the spool vlave oil switch. instead of oil pressure, they use the vss signal to know when and when not to engage vtec. you can get the housing from the dealer but it is about 200-250 bucks. i have been told you can just ground it but i havent tried that.

egg_baLLa

yeah i know how to do the grounding, but its not that simple for me.
i have to take it to state ref again pretty soon so im probably just going to have to buy the housing. does anyone know the part number for the housing?

boostedcivicsir

from san leornado i am about 95% sure it is this number. judging by the price it is,

just find a used one and save yourself a few hundred dollars

2 options, but the vtec solenoid itself from someone and then plug in.

I'd just do this though... at the ecu, connect the 2 vtec wires with a wire. This is how my p28 is wired and it works perfectly. No vtec pressure switch code, and vtec is happy.

yeah i know how to do that -- A4 to D6 --

but as stated above, i cannot simply do that.
i've also bought the oil pressure switch the other day at the dealership for about $80.

but now i know to just buy the housing so i think im just gonna do that instead.

as for the vacuum hose, does it go to where the yellow arrow is pointing?

fabs stated earlier that there was a little nipple on the tb so im just double checking.

thanks for the help so far guys.

fabs

good luck hope u figure it out. i have the casing if u need it.

egg_baLLa

yeah i most likely will need it. check your pms tho.

fabs

for some reason i cant check them. maybe since im still under trial user.

egg_baLLa

fabs look for my classified post.
