We swapped the d15b into my friends 95 civic hatch, were not sure if vtec is kicking in or not but if it was wired wrong into the ecu wouldnt it throw a code? and were using the p08 ecu

 

yeah it should at least throw a code. try to run some code.

 

we've checked for codes but nothing...some ppl have said that the p08 ecu isn't as good to use as the p28

 

is it the vtec d15? there is a non vtec d15 right?

 

my buddy and i swapped a d15b into one of my buddies civic and the vtec solenoid wasn't hooked up all the way so vtec didn't hit and it <U>did</U> throw a code. um vtec in a d15 is kinda weak sauce tho you can barely tell its there so maybe you guys are hitting vtec and just not hearing it? i dunno hope i helped good luck

i think the d15b (jdm) is vtec and the d15b7 (usdm) is not vtec i dont know alot tho someone correct me

 

i think its kicking in its just weak.lol but were gonna check over the wiring today or tomrow

 

you can hear vtec open up at 4800 if its working.

 

start in 2nd gear going 20mph and WOT all the way tell 7000 and you should tell if its working or not. also try another ecu, like a p28 if u have access to one

 

let us drive the car, we tell u if its working.
