YOu can't wire the vtec to your oem computer because it doesn't know about vtec. There's a lot more to the head swap than just putting the head on.

Buying the ecu is cheaper than buying a VTEC controller. And if you use the y7 ecu your car will run lean and the air/fuel maps will be all messed up. And you can't use a VTEC controller to enable VTEC. You need an RPM switch to do that or use a switch connected to the solenoid to give it power when you need it, but those ways suck and do not do it.

Re: Mini Me Swap!! (chowmien)
not trying to argue here but ive seen it done on an accord... if he had an rpm switch im unaware of... all i know is he had a vafc and the stock ecu... he swapped on the vtec head and it worked... i know the ecu itself is cheaper in price... i meant the quality of the work is cheap... should have rephrased that
