Default Anyone have detailed pics/instructions on wiring VTEC?

I'm looking to find any pictures or instructions that tell how to wire VTEC, knock sensor, and all the other wiring that goes along with a swap.

I am doing a 95 GSR B18C1 into 93 Civic CX hatch.

Detail is good!

Thanks!

Wiring VTEC is pretty simple.

Knock sensor goes from D3 to the knock sensor.

VTEC consists of the following:

VTEC oil pressure sensor which needs the ECU ground (tap into the Grn/Wht wire on the civic harness) and ECU signal. (Wire from D6 to the other wire on the oil pressure sensor)

Then there is the spool solenoid valve which goes from A4 to the Solenoid Valve.

OK. On my car I've got the following:

I've listed the name of the function with where it is supposed to go in the ECU, not where it actually is (I think).

VTEC Solenoid (A4) Yel/grn engine, going to a red/grn with silver spots on the chassis

Evap purge solenoid (A20) red engine, to red with silver spots chassis

Evap purge (power) yel/black engine, yel/black chassis

VTEC ground black engine, black chassis

VTEC pressure (D6) blue engine, blue with silver spots chassis

Secondary intake (A17) pink engine, red/black chassis

This is how they line up in the engine bay, with all plugs pluged in. I don't have a knock sensor wire, and I need to run one to D3.

So, do I have to run wires from all of these pins to the correct wire on the engine harness? Don't the chassis wires go somewhere? Can some of them be moved?

And is the green/white wire in the engine bay, or by the ECU?

Sorry, but wiring freaks me out.

Also, is there a way to make running the wires look fairly factory, instead of having wiries running all over the engine bay?
