I just did the mini-me swap to my y7 and i'm wiring up the vtec tonight. Do I need to run a wire for both the vtec solenoid and the pressure sensor, or just the solenoid? I have heard that you just need to run one wire for the solenoid and don't need to hook up the vtec pressure sensor. I am goign to be running a chipped p28 running uberdata. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

For anyone reading this, I just ran the one wire for the vtec solenoid and in uberdata disabled the VTP and the vtec runs smoothly. Just time for some tuning now, waiting for the wideband to come in.

Nothing better than having an OEM harness instead of a few loose wires in your engine bay. Also helps whomever you end up selling your car to, because they will not have to disect WTF you did

I just ran 1 wire for the solenoid, thats it. Cost me next to nothing and you can't even see the wire.
