Buying the entire wiring harness will save you a lot of trouble. Look to spend 125 for one though. It'll save headaches.

Unless you have a 92 model year civic, buying a VTEC harness is useless. You will still need to run the wiring from the underhood subharness to the ECU.

All you need to do is run 1 wire from the VTEC solenoid (ECU pin A4) and 1 from the pressure switch (ECU pin D6) to the ECU. It takes no real skill to do this.

Only thing i would suggest is to get a female ecu connector from an auto recycler for the "pins". Just make sure you leave enough wire to splice the new wires onto...

you need to go to a a bone yard and cut the connectors off of the ecu. pull out those pins and run them directly to each individual sensor. thats the easiest, or get the car side of the engine harness and cut it off (from said bone yard) and back pin it but you will still need ecu back pins.

yeah...you will need to go to a junkyard and get plugs for the VTEC solenoid and the VTEC oil pressure wire...then wire the plugs to the respective pinouts in the ECU...don't forget the ground as well
