Well last night i got my D16Y8 put in and the only thing i didn't get hooked up was the V-Tec but i'm using a MSD RPM activated switch to engage it. so my question is, what wire do you tap into on the dizzy?, and by the way i am using the OBD-0 Dizzy and Intake Manifold.




please dont flame me for the red valve cover cause the guy i got the motor off of painted it red.

you need a 30 amp relay to complete this
from the msd switch
red wire +12v source you can take off the cap in the dissy and look wich one is+ and take it there
black wire=ground
white wire=to - side in the ignition next to the+ i mention first
yellow wire=goes to the relay in #85
#30 in the relay goes to vtec selenoid
#86 and #87 jump them together directly to the + in the battery

 

BUMP any one else?

Its also proven you are going to run pretty lean everytime that solenoid is turned on without the ecu for it.

Might want to look into a real vtec controller, or a vtec ecu.

For honda the Tach wire is SOLID BLUE at the dizzy, thats going to be your white wire. When he lists things as being 12 volt, go to the battery with a fuse. ground you can use the one at the thermostat.

The reason for needing the relay is the msd switch cannot send a 12 volt strong enough to saftley power the solenoid, in other words, try it without the relay, your going to kill the switch over time. its a lower current NEGATIVE output meant to trigger a relay. The solenoid wants a real 12 volt signal, so you use that weak negative output to trigger the relay, which sends your high current 12 volt. Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) 30 AMP Relay. You can get a standard relay at any place that does alarms or remote starts.

<u>This is 100% correct:</u>
