B20/VTEC swap....VTEC not kicking in.....
Ok, well here's the stats....I have a 95 civic ex. I swapped in a B20 block with a GS-R head and tranny. I'm using the D16z6 wiring harness and ECU (hasn't been chipped yet). So I took the car for it's first ride the other day and when I expected to hit VTEC....nothing. Any reason that it isn't kicking in? I ran the oil line from the block to the head and hooked up the D-series VTEC solenoid tot he GS-R head and plugged it in. Any help would be great...thanks.

check your vtec solenoid make sure everything is correctly hook-up im not sure if a d-series vtec solenoid will work if so new infor me... but my friend had the same problem on his b16a crx and we could not figure out what happen until he change his oil...and he found out that he didnt have enough oil in his car...so i would check your oil if it not correct vtec will not work

That is your problem. You are using a P28 ecu right? Well the P28 is for a SOHC vtec. so the Vtec wont kick in right. Get it chipped for DOHC
