New here need help !!b18c1
Hello guys !!
I'm new to the Honda game.
I bought 94 civic DX for 1k from a friend.
it need piston rings Burning hella oil so I started saving up.
thinking what best swap I could've got.
Well I was going go with Z6 but one of my friend started talking to me about how fast B18 was well guess what happened next lol I bought LS tranny,p28,axle, mid shift bah bah bah almost full swap just needed motor.
I found b16 pr3 head fully built for $600 I bought it no idea why I bought it but I bought it lol
The next week I found b18c1 short block for 400 I went and bought it .
Started buying new gaskets and all stuff I needed to drop my swap.
I found out after I started the motor the oil pressure sensor was cracked!! There was oil everywhere!! I was **** like a Mf so I tap it and put bolt on it and bought a oil pressure sandwich kit and adapted the oil pressure sensor from there.
I thought it was easy fix but
Now the swap is done running great!! But now I got a problem Vtec don't engage!!! Idk what the hell to do !!! I tried re wired the Vtec wire , tried two ecu p28 and gsr and nothing
Next I checked the oil level and straight wired the VTEC solinoid to the battery and it engages so I don't know if it could be harness or oil pressure sensor that not getting right pressure? Because it running on sandwich kit ?
I'm new and I tried my best but this problem out of my knowledge need someone has more experience can help ? Thanks pm me
