Hi, Ive bought myself a 1998 Type-R Civic 1.6 and I need to put my Turbo engine into it. The problem im having is regarding the wire loom.

Apparently they dont have the pressure sensore on the spool-valve.
see links.
USA/UK Spool-valve/vtec solenoid:

JDM spool valve..

Key points:
-I have 1998 EK9
-I have a OBD1 ECU
-I have US conversion harness to allow ecu to connect to OBD2 loom
-My engine is setup with OBD1 sensors and distributor

What I need to know is
-DOES the EK9 have a spool valve connector on the loom (engine side) that is not used?

-Or would I need to wire a wire from the adapter C plug number 15 cavity. (C is the center plug on ecu/loom)

-If you have an EK9 then what did you do to make this work?

I cannot know if it has this spool valve connector yet as the car is being made road legal for me right now as Ive only just imported it.




Anyone who KNOWs their EK9s then please step-up

Since its an integra block and the JDM integra shares the same spool valve in japan. What does the USDM integra have????

you can disable that sensor in Hondata

and that wont have any adverse affect on performance or functionality?

disabling the sensor will make the CEL for VTEC pressure go away. No adverse affect on performance. That sensor makes sure you have enough oil pressure for vtec to work properly. Since the JDM sensor doesn't have it.. they must have thought it wasn't necessary. I have always ran that sensor disabled on my cars, no point in running more wires when you can disable

Thanks man, your helps well appreciated.

eg_boi

or if u have another vtec solenoid around u can take the missing part off and screw it into the jdm one

I doubt therell be a connector on the loom for it.
