Default I really should know this by now...

but I did my swap over a year ago and have been quite lazy about hooking up VTEC. I think I have pin outs, but I have a couple of questions that I just cant seem to remember the answers to, even though I used to know. I searched for this info, but maybee I did not use the right words in my multiple searches. I understand that some EG's with out VTEC, and with in a certain year range, wires do not have to be run directly to the ECU. The car is pre wired and the wires only have to be run to one of the three plugs on the pass. side shock tower. Which year models are those and which of the three connectors woud the wire run to. I think it was all cars in '92 but I can not remember. If my car does not fall into the vin range, where can I get pins to put on the end of the wires that I will have to run to the ECU. Where can I get pins to plug into one of the 3 plugs on the shock tower?


Flame away

The models that have vtec already is SI/VX. The Vtec solenoid is A4 and the Vtec pressure switch is D6.

I wish I could rip them out a a salvage yard around here, but almost all hte good honda stuff in DFW goes to HondaHeaven. Every time I needed something to complete a swap or project, they wanted me to buy the hole F'n swap, front clip or suspension.

it does not have to be the vtec pinouts, any pinouts (shock tower) will work.

just to clear up something, i am talking about the actually pinout (The piece that holds the wire and connects it to the male/female of the other side) that is in the connector, not the whole connector.
