Default Vtec pressure switch vs. d15b

So i got my d15b running and all sounds good. I did the cel a trillion times to make sure what it was, and its the pressure switch. So i took the one off my old running z6 and put it in the hole on the side of the lower vtec parts on the block( where the importer put a screw ). Went to test on the freeway again. Still no vtec.

Here's my biggest problem.

I'm using an ex 93 ENGINE harness

Dx engine bay and car harness.

And i have a chipped p28 on p08 fuel maps.

Could anyone point me in the right direction to wire up my vtec?
SHould i change something on my non vtec ENGINE BAY + CAR harness?

Thanks so much. -chris.

I just installed a D15B VTEC into my 2000 hatch.

This site helps A LOT: http://www.ff-squad.com/technet/

In particular, you will be looking for this: http://www.ff-squad.com/technet/wiring.obd1.htm

The solenoid has 1-wire, which goes to the ECU. Read the pinout on the above link so you know where it goes. The pressure switch is a 2-wire. The red wire goes to the ECU, again read the pinout. The black wire needs to be grounded. I grounded mine to the thermostat area.

Good luck

you'll either need to run them from the sensors to the ECU



or run the wiring from the shock tower to the ECU
