I did a mini me with a d16y7/y8....now i need to know how to connect the wires to the vtec solenoid and pressure switch, and i need to know what type of wire to do this with. also i need to know what type of wire i need to use for the knock sensor.

help me quick, i want to get it done today!

 

I know there are numerous posts about this... I found my answer by searching. Or for $20 to my paypal account, I'll link you to the thread.....

 

the one that i found was for a b16 and i looked at it and it wasnt what i needed...thank you so much for your help

sidenote: if you are gonna be a jerk about it, please dont post...i just want an answer

 

Thanks for the $20

dude...dont think i havent used that thread....I need more detail than that one has!

the faqs on here tell you how to do the mechanical part moreso than the electrical part...i need help with the electrical part!

 

DUDE it says it right there at the bottom! Get an old plug from a junkyard or someone here, simply extend the wire, and plug it in according to his diagram......

I'm about to give up on you....

 

i want to do it without the plug

 

gonna look like crap..... but just splice away at the wires if you wish... sounds like you've got it figured out now..... gl w/ the mini-me....

 

thats the thing, i dont have any wires to splice with....im trying to figure out how/what to connect to the sensors and then i will run them to the ecu

 

There should be one wire coming out of the solienoid, and then for the sensors you get a plug that has the wires and you tap into those.

What dont you get, where they go?

 

there is a plug connected to a wire...and a plug connnected to the solenoid itself

 

Ok so tap into those wires and run them straight to your ecu.

If those are the first plugs to the sensors and solenoid then you cant take them off, you have to tap off them.

If thats not what your talking about then you need to show pics.

ok i look at that pic and see i can cut the plug off the sensor and connect male/female plugs and run it to my ecu

but the other sensor i need to know how to wire

 

anyone?

 

Incase if you didnt get my PM, you need those plugs, they have power and ground in them.

If you really want to take them off and have it run 2 wires i suppose you could get some female connectors and plug them in and then run the wires to the computer. If you heat shrink them they might look ok, but they wont look anywhere close to the plugs though.

 

i dont care about it looking good right now, i want to get it to work....i dont understand what you are saying though

 

If you dont care how it looks why do it?



Pick up a couple of those, but only use the females, find the hot wire and the ground wire and wire it up correctly. If you **** up bye bye motor with no oil pressure to it.

 

a couple of wires ziptied to my harness wouldnt ruin the looks of my engine

 

it'll cost you TOPS $5 at a salvage yard for the correct plug

it'll cost WAY more than that if you don't use it and **** up... stop being hard headed...

 

and in the past few minutes ive called a million junkyards and they dont have the plugs or they only sell it as a whole harness damnit

No one likes ghetto-rigs. Either do it right or don't do it at all. For the most part, most ghetto-rigs look like **** AND **** up sooner or later. IMO, why the **** wouldn't you want to take another day and get the plugs? Guaranteed to fit and not **** up.

 

ok well off to the classifieds i go...

 

goto a yard that lets you take off your own parts.... find it, cut it off and stick it in your pocket....

Exactly, when you call junkyards all they look at is a computer that has the whole harness not individuals. Go there stick in pocket and go, or if you feel right to pay for it go over and pay the .30 for it.

 

they told me they dont do that...either they wont let me look around, or they only sell the harness as a whole...maybe ill try driving to a few, but ive been before and they wont let me into the yard
